God didn’t oppose Samson’s strength; He opposed Samson’s self-reliance.

God didn’t oppose Samson’s strength; He opposed Samson’s self-reliance.

When most people think about Samson in the Bible, they picture someone with raw muscle and superhuman strength, a man who could tear a lion apart with his bare hands, lift city gates onto his...

Sometimes it feels like there are two competing forces within us: one that wants to honor God and one that pulls us back into old ways of living, reacting, and succumbing to temptations. Galatians 5 addresses this struggle directly.

Each of us knows what it feels like to wrestle between who we are and who we want to be in Christ. We are aware of the differences between our intentions and our actions; between the character we...

The story of Judges 3 reminds us that God’s mercy is greater than our rebellion. He continues to pursue His people through the ages, culminating in the cross of Christ, where divine justice and mercy meet.

The third chapter of Judges introduces the recurring cycle that defines the entire book, a tragic yet redemptive cycle of sin, suffering, supplication, and salvation. Israel quickly drifts from...

From Genesis to Revelation, God consistently calls ordinary, imperfect, and even unlikely individuals to accomplish His extraordinary will.

Anyone who has read the Bible will recognize that God is unique in countless ways. One of His most extraordinary qualities is the people He chooses to carry out His divine purposes on earth. From...

As Paul moves into chapter 15, he continues this theme by urging the strong to bear with the failings of the weak and to follow Christ’s example.

In Romans 14, Paul addresses the tension between believers who differ on secondary matters of conviction—specifically, what they eat, drink, or days of observance. He calls them the “weak” and...

n Romans 14:17 - 19, Paul shifts from practical matters to the larger doctrine of the Kingdom of God. He argues that whenever the strong insist on using their liberty to eat whatever they like, even at the expense of the weak, they are guilty of misplaced priorities. They are overestimating the importance of diet (which is trivial) and underestimating the importance of the kingdom (which is central).

Paul’s teaching in Romans 13 reminded believers that government authority, though imperfect, is permitted by God and should be honored as far as conscience allows. Writing to Christians with no...

We all have gifts—unique, diverse, and given to us entirely by the grace of God.

We all have gifts—unique, diverse, and given to us entirely by the grace of God.

Introduction Last week, we looked at Romans 12:1–2 and saw how Paul sets the stage for all that follows in the chapter. After unfolding in the first 11 chapters God’s mercy, His saving grace,...

In a culture that urges us to conform, Paul calls us to be transformed. In a world that glorifies self, Paul calls us to glorify God.

Introduction Last week, we looked at Romans 10 and saw how Paul demonstrated that Israel’s story is one of great zeal for God, yet a zeal that was not grounded in knowledge. From the return from...

Zeal alone cannot make one right with God. Sincerity does not equal salvation.

As we turn the page into Romans 9, the tone shifts dramatically from the heights of hope to the depths of sorrow.

Introduction At the close of Romans 8, Paul leaves us with one of the most triumphant declarations in all of Scripture: nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ...

Starting this week, I have added seven discussion questions at the end of the study titled, Responding to the Word: Romans In Real Life, that are designed for personal reflection or small group discussion. They are intended to be thoughtful questions to help you process what you’ve read and to spark meaningful conversations.
