Conforming to the Body of Christ (Romans 12:1-8)

In this, the eleventh part of our "Theology for Ministry" series, we look at how we can become part of the body of Christ. Paul uses the illustration of the human body with its many parts, and just as the many parts of the human body work in concert with each other, so we as the body of Christ work together to build the Kingdom of God here on earth, and we each have a part.

The Place of Israel, Part 2 (Romans 10:5-15)

Jesus told the woman at the well that "Salvation is of the Jews." Of course, that was before he gave his own life for the sins of the world. In today's message, the apostle Paul tells us that salvation is available to anyone who wants it, and that God has made it very simple for us, according to his abundant grace. But what does it mean to confess with our mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead? It is a simple thing God requires of us, but it is not easy.

The Place of Israel, Part 1 (Romans 9:1-5)

In chapter nine of his leter to the Romans, Paul takes a departure from speaking on God's grace and our salvation, and turns his attention to the people of Israel. The apostle Paul was born a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin. So it would stand to reason that he would have great concern over his people and their salvation. This week we begin a two-part subseries to our Theology for Ministry series called The Place of Israel, and we will look at how the Jews receive God's grace, even today.
