Empty Thoughts and Darkened Hearts
Romans 1:21-23
As we continue our study of Paul’s letter to the church in Rome today we have to remember where we have been so far in our study. If you will remember, our last few studies have focused on our current situation, we are living life under the wrath of God. The wrath of God is [...]
The Power of God
Romans 1:16-17
When we began our study of Paul’s letter to the church in Rome I told you that this letter has been used by God to transform countless lives and spark revivals across the globe. One of the revivals, or maybe I should say, “reformations,” that came about because of the letter to the Romans is [...]
We Have An Obligation To Fulfill
Romans 1:8-15
Paul had the heart of a missionary. He had a love for people that he did not know, he had a desire to go to places where he had never visited, and all of this was rooted in a deep sense of obligation that he felt towards all people. When we think of the word, [...]
My Help!
Romans 8:24-27
What is the one thing that we all need, but that we are so reluctant to ask for? I’m sure you could come up with many answers to that question, but the first thing that comes to my mind is “help.” When we find ourselves in a quandary, we need to ask for help. When [...]
Out With the Old and in With the New
Ephesians 4:25-32
We are in the middle of the year so the thought of New Year’s resolutions are the farthest thing from our minds. As the weeks and months rock along the thoughts of “change” will begin to creep in. It happens every year. You and I will watch the evening news and they will talk about [...]
No More…
Ephesians 4:17-19
What we were is not what we are. That is Paul’s consistent message to those who are “in Christ.” What were we before we came to know Christ? Well, we were just like everyone else who does not know Christ. That may catch some of you off guard at first glance because we live in [...]
Pain and the Presence of God
Amos 4:6-13
Last week we began our study of Amos 4, but we didn’t cover the second half of the chapter so that we could devote our full attention to those verses this morning. I want us to use our Scripture this morning as a launching pad to discuss one of the most unsettling questions that people [...]
Love for the Family of Faith
Romans 12:9-13
Love. We are bombarded by the word aren�t we? We talk about who we love, what we love, why we love, how much we love, and the nature of our love. We even have a day set aside to demonstrate our love to those we love. You can�t turn on the radio or listen to [...]
“Therefore…”
Romans 12:1
It has taken us 57 lessons to get through the first eleven chapters of Paul�s letter to the church in Rome. I hope that you have taken advantage of these 57 lessons, all of which are on our website at brittonchurch.com. You can read them online, print them off and study them on your own, [...]
Will You Turn Away From His Outstretched Hands?
Romans 10:11-21
There is nothing more painful, more heartbreaking, than the turning away. We have read stories about it, and for far too many of us, weve experienced the turning away ourselves. Truth be known, we may have even been the one who did the turning. If you arent following me then let me paint a picture [...]
Questioning The Justice of God
Romans 9:14-24
Justice, defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is the establishment or determination of rights according to the rules of law or equity. It is also described as the quality of being just or impartial. We often hear the cry for justice ringing out across the globe. People who feel that they are being treated unjustly protest [...]
