Milk (The Law) For Infants Or Solid Food (Grace) For Adults

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 28, 2014

The Jews were very troubled with grace, because they needed laws to follow; particularly as the message of the New Testament suggested that they were above the law. They were very confused just like many Christians today. So let us put Grace into context.

Free From The Law: The First Question Of Romans 7 Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 21, 2004

Our sanctification (being set apart for God as holy) does not occur through human efforts to keep the law, but through the power of the Spirit animating, motivating, and empowering us to do God’s will. It is a matter of motives and means.

30. Romans Chapter 7 Verses 7-14 - Messages In Romans – Gentiles Are Not Part Of Chapter 7 – Not The Battle Of The Two Natures - Message 30 Part 2 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025

The Law is examined here – the Law is holy and it is spiritual. Romans 7 is about a man under the Law trying to meet the standards of the Law but is defeated by his own sinfulness. Our verses bring this out. It has nothing to do with the Christian and his new nature fighting the old nature.

God Accepts You As Gentiles, In Christ (So Don't Become Jewish Christians; Ephesians 2:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 23, 2022

What is faith? Also, "works" and "good works" are not the same thing. "Works" are works of the Mosaic covenant, specifically food laws, circumcision, holy days (inc. Sabbath).

Today's sermon is on Ephesians 2:1-10. But I want to start by reading all of chapter 2. We often make a mess of chapter 2, especially in verses 8-10, and the reason we make that mess is because we ignore Paul's larger argument. Paul is writing to Gentiles, explaining to them that they are ...read more

Sermon # 33 - God's Unchanging Laws Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 31, 2023

We are indeed saved by grace, but does that mean that the laws of God given in the Old Testament are no longer applicable to us? God’s word gives us clarity, and helps us to understand how God’s grace and God’s laws apply to us today.

In Romans 3:31, Paul writes, “Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.” (GNB) There is a lot of teaching on the grace of God and faith that we must place in Him. Grace and faith are fundamental for our walk with God, but it is important ...read more

Life After Death: Law, Eternity, And The Changed Mind

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

There are two pieces, at least two parts of the human experience that every human will partake of: being born, and dying. That's right. The death rate for humans is 100%. I don't think people like to be reminded of that. It's a shocking thing to consider in fact.
