We Overwhelmingly Conquer

    Romans 8:31–39

    Airs: July 29 - August 2

    For all who claim Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, there isn’t a more significant biblical passage to embrace than Romans 8:31-39. It is, indeed, the Mount Everest of the sacred writings. Its doctrine lifts us high above all other literary scenes.

    As we stand and gaze across the snow-capped peaks, we are enraptured by the majestic hymn of triumph that envelops us. It quiets our troubled hearts. It calms our fears. It reaches out to the fallen, comforts the grieving, encourages the broken, and inspires the defeated as its mighty truths echo through the ages, bringing hope and reassurance to all God’s people.

    • July 29 - August 2 We Overwhelmingly Conquer

      For all who claim Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, there isn’t a more significant biblical passage to embrace than Romans 8:31-39. It is, indeed, the Mount Everest of the sacred writings. Its doctrine lifts us high above all other literary scenes.

    • August 3 - August 4 Three Faces of God

      Romans 9-11 focuses on a special area of importance: how the gospel relates to God’s chosen people, the Jews.

      While Paul’s treatment of this subject is both daring and dogmatic, it is—as you would expect with Paul—completely logical. As we begin this section, let’s step back and see the whole scene that lies before us, somewhat like we do when we map out a long road trip. It helps to get an overview of where we’re going.

    • August 5 - August 9 Straight Talk about Predestination

      Few topics have sparked as many theological debates as the subject of divine predestination. Unfortunately, all those debates have generated a lot more heat than light. In fact, this doctrine is still one of the most misunderstood and misapplied truths among God’s people. Human opinion and horizontal logic have eclipsed the clear and forthright teaching of the Scriptures. Some have gone to dogmatic extremes in their position; many others have pulled back, choosing to ignore the issues entirely.

    • August 10 - August 12 Straight Talk about Responsibility

      Romans 9 addresses God’s sovereignty, specifically regarding predestination. One popular, albeit extreme, response to that truth sounds like this: since God is sovereign—since He is the Potter and I’m only clay—then I’m not really responsible for my actions or reactions. If I’m a disobedient believer, that’s God’s fault, not mine. If I’m lost and not a part of His family, that’s His fault, not mine. I’m just clay!

      In response to this position, Romans 10 shouts, “No way!”

    • August 13 - August 17 The Jews: Forgotten or Set Aside?

      Paul never forgot his Jewish roots. No matter where he was, what he was doing, or how he was treated, his love for his own people never faded. And so, as he wrote about God’s plan for those who believe in His Son for eternal life, Paul’s heart was touched by the reality that relatively few Jews had accepted Jesus as their Messiah. The vast majority were conspicuous by their absence from the universal body of Christ.
