"RIGHT IN HIS SIGHT"

   Getting Right With God

Expositional Studies In The Book of Romans

1. Right In His Sight  - Overview of the Book of Romans

Romans is one of the most, if not the most powerful book ever written.   In it Paul lays out the theology of redemption in Jesus Christ.   God has used the book to transform such men as St. Augustine who became a powerful theologian and leader in the fourth century,  Martin Luther the Augustinian monk who revolutionized the church in the 15th century, and John Wesley the Methodist preacher used of God to move the world in revival in the 18th century.   The truth of Salvation through grace alone continues to transform lives today.

2. The Right Attitude -  Romans 1:1 What's It Going To Take Part 1 

Paul's desire and calling was to take the good news of Jesus Christ into all the world.   Jesus has called us to be part of that Great Commission agenda but what's it going to take to see that become a reality.   This first of three messages from Romans 1 on "What's It Going To Take" focuses on having the right attitude as servants of God.

3. The Right Message - Romans 1:3-7  What's It Going To Take Part 2

Unless we are clear on what the Good News of the Gospel is, we will never be prepared to share it with a waiting world.   Paul outlines the Message of the Gospel.

4. The Right Passion   - Romans 1:8-17   What's It Going To Take Part 3

What are you passionate about?  God calls us to be passionate about Him and His Great Commission Agenda.  In this message Pastor Rick helps us discover  A Passion for People, A Passion for Action and A Passion for the Gospel.

5.  Now For The Bad News   Romans 1:18-32  

We will never fully appreciate how good the Good News is until we understand how bad the Bad News is.

6.  I'm Not Okay, You're Not Okay   Romans 1:18-3:26

Like a guilty prisoner before a judge,  we all stand guilty before God and under just condemnation.  Apart from Christ,  none of us stand Right In His Sight.

7.  The Leap Of Faith   Romans 4:1-25

Without faith it is impossible to please God.  He has done everything to provide for your salvation and right standing with God;  all there is for you to do is take the Leap of Faith.

8. The Security Of Grace   - Part 1    Romans 5:1-11

One of the most important issues a believer must settle is the issue of security.    A proper understanding of the fact that Salvation is all a work of God which we receive solely on the basis of faith, will bring a proper sense of security to the believers life.    In Romans 5:1-11 Paul out lines a number of blessings we have that give us that sense of security.

9. The Security of Grace  - Part 2   Romans 5:1-11

10.  The Triumph of Grace     Romans 5:12-21

How did sin ever come into this world and why do people die?   Sooner or later we must all encounter the reality of sin and death.   In this message,  Pastor Rick helps us understand the reality of sin and death and how God's amazing grace triumphs over them.

11. Free At Last     Romans 6:1-14

12. Who's The Boss   Romans 6:14-23

Everyone serves someone or something.  The real question is who will be your master.   Everyone will either be serve either sin or Christ.   There are no other options.

13. Four Keys To Victory    Romans 7:1-25

 Every sincere Christian knows the struggle with sin that takes place in their lives.   They know what its like to want to do right but somehow don't find the strength to do it.   And they certainly know what its like to want to avoid sin but somehow finding its power to great to resist.   The good news is that God understands the struggle and will use it display his wondrous grace.

14. Ya Gotta Believe     Romans 8:1-4

We all know what its like to have that heavy feeling of condemnation and guilt.   As believers,  we try to live right but know that deep inside and out,  we sometimes fail and we feel miserable.   In this message we learn that because we are in Christ, there is no condemnation.
