We are jumping back into the book for Romans where we left off. Romans 10 is good news, no two ways about it.

Beginnings and Endings
It’s that time of year; we just help ourselves thinking about how one year ends and another begins. The end of anything is often the beginning something else and would you look at that? “New year, new you” just became a sermon illustration for the Epiphany.
Peace on Earth
It’s the fourth Sunday of Advent. We light the Angels candle and look at their proclamation, “Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men.”
The Joy of the Gospel
The shepherds heard good news, shared good news, then gave God glory and praise for sending them good news.

Hope from the Prophets
Today begins the Advent season as we prepare to celebrate Christmas. That means different things to different people but the incarnation is about the Son of God coming into our world as Messiah.

The Flesh and the Faith (pt 2)
As we finish Romans 9 we see once again that it takes faith to please God. The children of Israel were given the law, the promises, the prophets and ultimately God’s Son who is the Christ. That last one they did not accept. Law keeping is a work of the flesh, and does produce the righteousness God requires.
The Flesh and the Faith (pt 1)
Israel was given many blessings, including the law, the promises and eventually the Christ. After the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus being from the nation of Israel did not necessarily mean one was a child of God. Paul laments that many of his kinsmen did not accept Jesus as the Christ.

Future Glory
This sermon, based on Romans 8:18-30, should come after Heirs with Christ and before If God is for Us. I didn’t realize until posting If God is for Us to the website that this sermon was never uploaded. There are four sermons from Romans 8 and this is number 3 of 4.
