God chose Israel to bring the Messiah to the earth. What began as a call to bless others with that blessing soon became an object of pride for that nation. The fall that followed made it look like God had rejected His people, breaking His promises. Pastor Wade teaches on the riches that came from that apparent rejection: God's emphasis of salvation by grace through faith.

Some people think life is a rat-race, like a rodent on a wheel chasing cheese he will never catch. God calls our life a race- but not a rat race. Yes, there are difficulties- no one can deny. But God calls us to run the race of our life with endurance. Here's how.

Some people think that following Christ is way too simple to be believed. But when you explain salvation in depth they say it is too difficult to be grasped. What does the Bible say? This word of faith is not far away, but right at hand. Pastor Wade explains assurance of salvation from Romans 10:5-13.

September 27, 2009- Right with God (Romans 9:30-10:4)

So many of the Apostle Paul's Jewish brethren were not right with God, yet many of the Gentiles (non-Jews of the day whom the Jews despised) were right with God. Something seemed wrong, and they had to ask themselves the question: "Am I right with God?" Pastor Wade gives you what is necessary to answer that question for yourself in this week's message.

ryan@iamanoffering.com (Living Word Free Lutheran Church) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:43:48 -0400

As the Apostle Paul told the Romans about God's mercy and compassion, he taught on a subject that has (unnecessarily) split almost every church body since the resurrection: Election. Go too far looking into God's mystery and you'll drive yourself mad. But here is a glimpse at the amazing mercy of the Sovereign God. Note: The diagram referred to in the message is available upon request. Also, listening to prior messages will be helpful.
