Romans 13:1-14
The First Century Church Leadership and Service Hasbrouck Heights VFW (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ) Carr, Jerry 11/16/2007 11/16/2007
In Romans Chapter 13, God speaks about the role and function of the gift ministers in the Church of the Body of Christ. This teaching also expands on that theme from Ephesians 4 and then shows the heart a minister is to have toward God’s people from Romans 1.
Romans 12:1-8
Renewed Mind Cinardo Home (Rutherford, NJ) Daggon, Jim 11/15/2007 11/15/2007
This teaching covers the beginning of Romans 12, which is the beginning of the practical side of Romans. God wants us to live for Him by renewing our minds to His word. This section handles thinking soberly of ourselves and the other believers. Another theme in this section is that another way we can fulfill our logical divine service to God is by believing to function as a integral member of the Body of Christ.
Romans 9:1 – 11:36
Believing Cinardo Home (Rutherford, NJ) Zolezzi, Steve 11/09/2007 11/09/2007
These chapters cover in detail man’s freedom of will to believe and God’s freedom of will to have mercy on whoever He chooses to have mercy upon. It tracks man’s freedom of will to accept the righteousness of God and free will choice to believe and obtain salvation. Not all those of Abraham’s see chose to believe, so only a remnant of the children of Israel will be saved.
Romans 8:1-39
The New Birth Sonship Rights Cinardo Home (Rutherford, NJ) Gilmore, Michael 11/09/2007 11/09/2007
In this chapter that closes out the doctrinal side of the Book of Romans, we see that every man is dead in trespasses and sins but God reveals how the saved sinner is justified. The old man is reckoned dead. There is no judgment for the believer. There is no separation from God. Man starts in Romans in a state of ruin. Then he is dead with Christ and risen with him, made an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ.
Romans 6:1 – 7:25
The New Birth Renewed Mind Sonship Rights Daggon Home (Budd Lake, NJ) Cinardo, Nick 11/02/2007 11/02/2007
This teaching covers the conflict the born-again believer has on the inside due to being dead to sin by the new birth and yet still having sin in him due to the old man nature. This section of Romans deals with how to walk in newness of life, enjoying freedom from sin by believing and rendering paralyzed the old man nature.
Romans 5:1-21
Sonship Rights Cinardo Home (Rutherford, NJ) Zolezzi, Steve 11/02/2007 11/02/2007
This teaching handles Romans Chapter 5, showing the justice of God in giving His son Jesus Christ as the perfect substitute for mans plight. It handles why we need to be reconciled back to God and how we received our reconciliation. A comparison is made between the “first Adam” and the “second Adam” – Jesus Christ. The first Adam brought sin nature and spiritual death, while the second Adam brought the new nature of justification, spiritual and eternal life. The sharing closes with believing God’s Word about ourselves and others in order to really live the Mystery and love and help each other.
