<p>We are a people who by nature operate in hostility to God. Sometime that hostility is through moralistic pretending, sometimes it's through flat out rebellion, but either one operates out of what The Bible calls our "flesh" or "sinful nature". Jeff Norris teaches from Romans 8:5-13, sharing how real, inward, life-giving, peace-saturated spiritual transformation is available through Christ.</p>

<p>This week Randy Pope begins a new series called Romans VIII: Acceptance. He digs into Romans 8:1-4 (NASB). This week Randy looks at the testimony of God's Word, and how we are in Christ Jesus and have been freed form the power of sin and death.</p>

<p>Randy Pope concludes the series, "The Lovable Law," teaching from Exodus 20:17 (NASB). There are three brakes: 1) Trust - What ARE needs? How do you trust?  2) Thankfulness - What IS thankfulness? What does God owe me? What do I deserve? Look at the condition of your heart.  3) Priorities - to set temporal things as a priority, or to set eternal things as a priority. </p>

<p>Randy tackles Exodus 20:16 in his message, "To Tell The Truth". What is the meaning of the prohibition in Exodus 20:16? Are little white lies really okay? Look at how we need to tell the truth, to tell the whole truth, and to tell nothing but the truth. After investigating the meaning, Randy looks at the motive for the prohibition. Why does God make such a big deal about it?</p>

<p>This week Jeff Norris looks at the eighth commandment - "You shall not steal" - from Exodus 20:15 (ESV). Stealing is a byproduct of selfishness ... and our hearts are flooded with selfishness. Stealing is one small action step away from selfishness. Stealing is an offense to God because it's the antithesis of the heart of God.</p>

<p>Randy continues with "Marriage Malignancies: Part Two", studying Exodus 20:14 (NASB). God gave us the law "You shall not commit adultery" to protect the beauty and sanctity of marriage. This week Randy looks at why should we follow this law and how it applies to pre-marital sex, and imaginary sex (lust).</p>

<p>The seventh commandment tells us "You shall not commit adultery". But to what does adultery really refer? Randy Pope begins his message "Marriage Malignancies" with Part One with the first of three areas, investigating Exodus 20:14 and extra-marital sex. Why does God forbid it? Are there some things we should do to affair-proof our marriages? </p>

<p>Randy continues his series, "The Lovable Law", with the message "Murder Weapons", based on Exodus 20:13. The sixth command is "You shall not murder", but covers a lot more than you might think. This message digs into what murder really is, as well as some interesting questions: Who is innocent of murder? Who wants to defend themselves in the court of God?</p>

<p>Randy concludes his three part mini-series on the Lord's Day. We return to Exodus 20:8-11 and how God designed us to spend one day a week regulating the future. He also share five important truths regarding the Lord's Day. What are two important words for us to remember? Rest and perspective.</p>

<p>Randy continues looking at Exodus 20:8-11 and the points that God designed us to spend one day a week remembering the past, and reevaluating the present. Randy encourages us to move away from selective obedience and to embrace God's Law in every respect.</p>

<p>Randy continues the series "The Lovable Law" with this message from Exodus 20:8-11, part one of three messages on this topic looking at the importance of keeping a single day's rest in our lives. God's pattern was six days of labor and one day of rest. Why shouldn't we do the same? Randy also looks at three exceptions - works of piety, works of mercy, and works of necessity.</p>

<p>Caleb Click continues "The Lovable Law" series with a message on Exodus 20:12 entitled "The Commandment With A Promise". Join Caleb as he takes a look at why honoring our parents is so serious to God and what does it even mean?</p>

<p>The Test of Sincerity<br><br></p>

<p>Why did God give the second commandment? Join Randy Pope as he digs into Exodus 20:4-6 and the second commandment. This message, "When A Picture Says Less Than Words", shows us how idols and images subtract from our relationship with God. Randy also looks at how we see God as He is and how our view of God will shape our way of live. We see God in nature and in His Word. God wants us to truly know Him and not something that represents Him.</p>

<p>God never gives laws arbitrarily; all give are for our benefit, for our good. Join Randy as he looks at the first of the Ten Commandments in his message "Falling In Love With Mannequins". Randy uses Exodus 20:1-3 to answer the questions "What does the first commandment mean?" and "Why did God give us the first commandment?" Finally, he walks through four modern, American gods - search your heart to see if they are gods/idols in your life.</p>

<p>Randy starts Love Stipulations, Part 2 with the question "What happens when you hear 'The Law of God'"? He reviews the giving of the Law then turns to two reasons for the Law that are found in Exodus 20:18-20: to test man's love and to enhance man's love. The final part of the message looks at three responses to God's Law. Would you allow God to test you and your love through the Law?</p>

<p>Randy looks at Romans 7:24-25, continuing his study of how we are free to struggle. We are in a daily fight and struggle. This week we look at how every Christian has only one hope for deliverance. Our answer in the midst of the struggle is our Deliverer, Jesus Christ. We can find freedom even now! </p>

<p>Every Christian lives with an enemy within. Randy investigates this enemy as he looks at Romans 7:14-25. Robert Louis Stevenson's book, <u>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</u>, is used to illustrate this enemy within us. Although our mind is renewed as we become Christians, there is still a struggle in our flesh. We live with a very real enemy - and we can have victory, but only with help.</p>

<p>Randy continues with "Free From The Law" with part two, as he walks through Romans 7:7-13. Part Two is "How the believer is indebted to the Law". Randy looks at two questions: 1) Is the Law sin? and 2) Does the Law cause death? The more we embrace the Law, the more we see our sin. The Law exposes, provokes, and condemns sin.</p>

<p>The Law is an expression of God and is as beautiful as grace. Join Randy as he walks through Romans 7:1-6 (NASB) and how the believer is released (separated) from the Law.</p>

<p>There are four truths that summarize the teachings of Romans 6:15-23. These truths are critically necessary to understand our salvation and the freedom that goes with it. They also help us understand the great logic to the surrendered heart.</p>

<p>Randy continues digging into Romans 6:11-14 and <em>Know - Consider - Present</em> and how we must remember our identity with Jesus.</p>

<p>Take a look at Romans 6:1-14 as we investigate what freedom requires, the three ways we are baptized with Christ, and two critical terms - the old self and body of sin. We begin with "know"-ing.</p>

<p>Living in those circumstances that are bringing the pain, heartache, and issues is the safest place you could possibly be given certain conditions.</p>

<p>Randy Pope digs into Daniel 5 which includes the mysterious writing on the wall. What does it mean?</p>

<p>Look at the consequences of bowing as seen in the life of Nebuchadnezzar.</p>

<p>What do you think when someone tells you to hold firm your convictions? Randy Pope takes a look at how the story in Daniel 3 applies to us today as we see requirements for holding firm your convictions, along with assurances when we are unwilling to compromise our convictions. There is always victory for God's people!</p>

<p>Is God sovereign over all things? Over people, circumstances, and the events of history?</p>

<p>Does God determine all things? What exactly IS the sovereignty of God and how does it impact those of us here on earth?</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>There are two cities in this world - Babylon and Zion. Do you acknowledge that there are two cities? If so, where is your allegiance?  </p> <p>The significance of winning is all around us. Why is it that winning seems to cause us to act more responsibly? The problems arise when we have the wrong priorities for our winning. Who do you think appears to be winning today?</p> <p> </p>
