Romans 5:12-21

In Adam or In Christ

Paul continues to explain the way the gospel works by showing us how all of humanity is represented by one of two men: Adam or Christ. In Adam there is sin, condemnation and death. But in Christ, there is grace, justification and eternal life. Which one represents you?

Unshakeable Confidence

How can you be sure God loves you? How can you be certain that when you die you will enter straight into heaven? How can you be sure suffering will not destroy you along the way? This passage answers all of these questions (and more), and the answers centre on one thing: justification by faith.

Psalm 126

Sowing Tears, Reaping Joy

What is the Christian life supposed to feel like? Sometimes it can feel like a dream come true. Yet there are also times of persistent spiritual dryness and deep sorrow. In these times, the hope of the gospel enables us to sow our tears in such a way that we will reap an abundance of joy.

John 20:24-31

Romans 3:21-26

Righteousness from God

This passage has been described by many as the most important passage in the whole Bible.

Romans 3:1-20

All Under Sin

This is a very confronting passage showing the pervasiveness of sin in humanity. It includes some outrageous statements like, "No one seeks God" and "No one does good". How can the Apostle Paul say such a thing? What about all the people who seem to be seeking God? What about all the good things unbelievers do?
