Coming Soon! Romans Study

-
God's Word is amazing! It is sharper than any two-edged sword. It is living and active, and it never returns void. No matter how much you study, you cannot completely plumb the depths of the Bible. We can always learn more, not just for information's sake, but for transformation.

About a year ago I embarked, along with the good folks at our church, on a journey through the book of Romans. Undoubtedly, this is one of the monumental books in the Bible and it covers so much theological ground. What I want to do is begin to share this journey with you through a series of teaching videos. Steel yourselves because this is not going to be a short series. I'm a year in and have only made it to chapter 11!

As ridiculous as that sounds, and as daunting as it may be, never fear, my desire is to provide you with some engaging teaching on this life-changing book. There have been volumes upon volumes written on Romans, so while this will be a fairly in-depth study it will NOT be exhaustive (and hopefully not exhausting). Over the next several weeks I hope to be able to publish enough videos to get you caught up to where we are. Then each week will feature a new, fresh video teaching. I will also work to make notes available for download so you can follow along just like you are here with us.

So, stay tuned and if you want to be alerted when this new content is published  be sure to sign up for our email list.

Characteristics of a Godly Watchman Pt. 1: Vigilance

It may be something as mundane as the alarm clock every morning that tells us it is time to get up and get ready for work, or it may be something as frightening as a fire alarm. No matter what the specific purpose of the alarm they all share one common theme: they are meant to alert people and warn them of impending danger.   In Joel 2:1 the Lord commands the prophet to; Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain because the day of the Lord is coming. That is, God’s judgment is coming upon Israel for their sinfulness. Further along in the chapter, in verse 15, Joel is again commanded to blow a trumpet but this time it is to call the assembly of the people together so that they can, consecrate a fast . This tells us two important things about the role, or the duty, of the prophet of God. First, it tells us that the prophet is to act as an alarm to warn the people of God’s coming judgment. Seco

Characteristics of a Godly Watchman Pt. 2: Listening.

In this short phrase I believe we find the second crucial characteristic of a godly watchman: listening. If we understand our duty to be warning God’s people and acting as “voices crying out in the wilderness” then it only makes sense that we must take time to listen for the message that God is trying to get across. For me, as a preacher, this is sometimes difficult because I love to talk. However, if I am faithfully going to communicate the message God has for His people then I must discipline myself to be still before God and hear His voice.             One of my hobbies is amateur radio and with that I am able to talk to peo

Characteristics of a Godly Watchman Part 3: Holy Anger.

When we look at the pantheon of Christian virtues holy anger is probably one that most people miss, or have a hard time placing alongside things like meekness, love, generosity, patience and peace. I freely admit that the Bible is full of admonitions to not be angry. Ephesians 4:26 tells us not to let the sun go down on our anger. Colossians 3:8 tells us to put it aside, and James 1:19 explains that we should be slow to anger. However, I firmly believe that anger coming from the right place, in the right time, for the right purpose is a powerful characteristic of a godly watchman. Look again at Ephesians 4:26 it says, Be angry, and yet do not sin ; do not let the sun go down on your anger. Equally as clear as the instruction to deal with anger before the sun goes down is the statement, "Be angr
