ROMANS 1-4: What Makes a Man a Believer

The Story of Abraham’s Faith

You probably know someone who has trouble putting their faith in God. Why is that? Maybe they have lived a particularly sinful life and just can’t get over their past. Perhaps they have a scientific mind and struggle to trust a God they can’t prove. Maybe they’re a relatively decent person and feel like their good deeds are enough to earn salvation. Possibly they do believe but don’t feel like faith is enough and so they strive to show they are worthy. It’s likely some have received poor teaching and misunderstand the gospel of salvation. We want to equip you to clear up that confusion!

Join Patrick Morley and learn or be reminded through Abraham’s story about the beautiful doctrine of justification (salvation) by faith alone. By the end, you’ll be much more confident to help someone you deeply care about who is wavering.

The Most Important Decision You Will Ever Make

Close your eyes for a moment and reminisce about what you were like just before and after becoming a Christian. Can you recall the emotions, the confusion, the frustration, the ache within? It’s good to remember, isn’t it?

Remembering makes us thankful. Remembering helps us realize how far we’ve come. Perhaps most of all, remembering can make us ache for other men who right now are going through what we went through then.

As you read these words, there are countless men in your orbit feeling those same emotions—feeling like life has no meaning, there’s no purpose, anger, defeat, loneliness, rage, resignation, depression, or unloved. Join Patrick Morley and learn or be reminded how God makes men right with Himself—and consider how God wants you to respond.

Learning About Sin the Hard Way

Can you name even one area of your life that has escaped the effects of sin? Even our best relationships have periodic misunderstandings. The healthiest habits can’t prevent all disease or injury. People who always seem patient still get angry sometimes. Why is that?

Understanding the nature of sin will help you understand the power of God’s grace. Join Brett Clemmer as we look at the power of the law, the pervasiveness of sin, and God’s plan to save us. The deeper we go in Romans, the more we learn about ourselves and God.

The Advantages of Faithfulness

Are there truly any benefits to being faithful? Can we all agree that remaining faithful can get frustrating? That frustration leads us to not being fully committed or bargaining to make things fit our personal standards.

Join Khayree Pender as he helps us answer the question: What haven’t we been faithful in? And then encourages us to give it another try.

Discipling Religious Men

Here’s the situation. There are men around you who know the right things to say, but they have a hard time putting them into practice. You may be in the same boat yourself. What’s going on? In today’s passage, Paul helps us understand and tackle the underlying problem. By the end of our time together, you will have a clear grasp on why it’s not enough to be outwardly religious.

Join Patrick Morley and learn a practical idea for you and the men you disciple to not only get right but stay right with God on a daily basis.

A Disciple Maker’s Understanding of Judgment and Law

A quick reading of today’s text may leave you scratching your head and wondering, “What in the world is Paul talking about?” The obvious subjects are judgment (9 references) and law (10 references). But isn’t this the 21st century? How are these old-fashioned sounding concepts still relevant in a culture where people just don’t want anyone telling them what to do?

Now that’s a problem worth trying to solve! Join Patrick Morley as we do a deep dive into the passage and discover two or three nuggets that can really help you in a big way both as a disciple and a disciple maker.

What’s Wrong With Us?

Things are not OK. The world seems full of the “foolish, faithless, heartless and ruthless.” How did it come to this? How can a world that holds up values like equality, human rights and justice be so full of bigotry, hate and lawlessness? What is wrong with us?

Perhaps God has given up on us… Well, of course not. But, God has given some people up to following their own best thinking. He has allowed people to reject His evident truth for specious lies. And the effects are devastating.

God’s wrath is not what you think it is. Join Brett Clemmer as he continues our study in Romans and shows us how the wrath of God is not against people. It’s directed at what causes mankind to default to misery.
