Romans 5:1-11 part 1

June 28, 2019

Having wrapped up chapter four last time, we now move into chapter five, and underscore The Blessings of Justification. Justification is a central tenet of the Christian faith. We have been justified through the blood of Christ, and we can have certainty that we indeed will be in eternity in heaven with our wonderful savior!

It's the absolute foundational truth of our salvation. We are sabved by faith and faith alone, through God's grace. Nothing we "do" can save us. We are justified through the death of Christ on the cross. Join us in Romans, chapter four, as we seek to understand Justification by Faith.

Many people are under the impression that good works save us.  And maybe that’s what you believe today. We invite you to join us for The Dwelling Place, as we look into this whole matter of justification.  We can’t afford to get this wrong, so let’s join pastor Al Pittman and turn to the truth of God’s Word for the right answer, in Romans chapter four.

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. While you may understand that, your neighbor down the street likely doesn’t.  And they desperately need to hear it. We’re in the midst of a study through Romans and we’ll complete our look at chapter three today, as we join pastor Al and see Paul’s defense of Justification.

Stress is an every day fact of life for many people. Doctor’s offices are filled with people needing help to deal with stress. So what’s the solution for a stressed out life? I thin you know where I’m going with this! Pastor Al is taking us through the book of Romans right now, and today we stop again in chapter three, for a message titled “A Reason to Live Out Loud”.

Pastor Al Pittman is taking us verse by verse through Paul's epistle to the Romans, and today we highlight the first eighteen verses of the third chapter. So, who do you really trust. Saying we completely trust God with our lives is one thing. Living like we believe it is quite another.

Many religions around the world have traditions and rituals. According to the apostle Paul, in his letter to the Romans, these traditions have a tendency to lure people into a false sense of security concerning their salvation. It’s the ages old debate about whether we are saved by grace, or simply by faith. Paul explains here, once and for all, that we are saved by grace, not by works. As we’ll see today, this wasn’t an easy pill to swallow for the religious people of Paul’s day.

In his letter to the Romans, Paul was adamant about our position in Christ. We are saved by grace and grace alone. He declared that our status here on earth - social or otherwise - has absolutely no bearing on our position in heaven. This was a hard lesson for the Jews to grasp, as they were taught to regard their status as higher than the lowly Gentiles around them. Having an air of superiority is a completely inappropriate thing for a Christian. We know that we are sinners saved by grace!

Pastor Al Pittman has been  steadily making his way through the Book of Romans in verse by verse fashion. We pick up today in chapter two, where Paul addresses the attitudes of some of the Jews, who felt a sense of superiority over others. As we’ll see today, this kind of attitude is very common today as well, although it has no place in the life of a believer.

We can probably all think of  someone who claims to be a believer, but their life resembles the unbelieving world, and they bear no fruit.  In fact, can we each examine our own life and consider that we may be guilty of the same thing? What are we to make of this? Pastor Al encourages us to be fruit inspectors of our own lives, in a message titled “Hypocrisy Revealed”.
June 17, 2019
There is no place for hypocrisy in the life of a believer. On today’s broadcast, we’ll see what the apostle Paul has to say on the matter of hypocrisy. Think hypocrisy is no big deal, because everyone does it? Think again! We’ll be looking at the second chapter of Romans today and we encourage you to follow along with us.

In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
