Romans, JT Patton
After spending almost an entire chapter helping us understand who we are in Christ, God lays out the unbelievable implications of being his child. If only we could let these truths sink into us and drive our everyday lives. Join us as Pastor JT explains from the Bible what new life looks like.

Romans, JT Patton
In the early church, the Christians suffered greatly under emperor Nero and the Roman Empire. Paul’s response to that suffering, God is working it all out for good for those who love him. Not only that, but God choose them before time began to be in his family so that they could be conformed into the image of Christ, and one day be fully glorified with him in heaven. In our times of struggle, doubt, or hardship we must remember, God loved and choose us first. If that is true, if he planned all of that from eternity past just so we could be in his family as his redeemed children, then maybe we can trust him through whatever this world throws at us.

Romans, JT Patton
One of the themes that runs through Romans is the theme of weakness. Jesus saved us from our weakness (sin), Jesus continues to help us in that weakness (desires of the flesh vs walking in the Spirit), and he helps us in the weakness that comes with suffering. In Romans 8:26-28 that theme continues, but this time it’s our weakness in prayer. Like with our other weaknesses, we are not alone in our struggles with prayer.

Stand Alone, Denny Reeves
In Matthew 25 we find Jesus painting 2 portraits. The first portrait is of what a person's life should look like here on Earth. The second portrait is of the afterlife when we are before our creator and judge. Pastor Denny walks us through both portraits to help us understand the Gospel of Christ in a deep and meaningful way today for eternity.

Romans, JT Patton
God tells us that we are his children, his heirs, and will share in the glory of Christ – provided we suffer with him. It seems like such a strange thing to add to this encouraging passage until we realize, suffering makes us more like Christ. Although suffering as our savior suffered helps to conform us to his image, there is still something about suffering that doesn’t feel right. All of creation is declaring with us that it shouldn’t be this way. The promise is that one day it won’t be. When we are redeemed and fully glorified, when we truly understand the full implications of being God’s adopted children, we will finally understand what God was doing through our suffering, and we will finally understand, our struggles now aren’t worth comparing to the glory we will experience with our God in eternity.

Romans, JT Patton
So often we have preconceived notions about what it means to “walk in the Spirit”. This section of Romans makes it clear that walking in the Spirit is remembering who you are in Christ, because of what God has done for you. Romans 8:14-17

Romans, JT Patton
Walking not in the flesh, but in the Spirit really comes down to having your mind and heart in the right place. It seems simple, but in real life, it is not. In the end, it really comes down to two things. Remembering who God is and what he has done, and remembering who you are in Christ. Romans 8 is a proclamation of those two things, empowering us to be people of and who walk in the Spirit.
