The Ministry of Faith - Benevolence part 2

September 12, 2019

Bible scholars consistently rank Romans in the top three or four most significant books in the bible, and one of the reason is it’s practicality. These words were written two millenniums ago, yet are spot on for Christian living in 2019. As we again look at the ways our faith can minister to others, pastor Al will talk about benevolence - being kind and generous to others. What a great witness that is! 

References: Romans 15:25-29

Today we continue our look at Romans fifteen. Pastor Al will spend the next four broadcasts discussing the ways we can use our faith to minister to others. First of all, we can be benevolent. That’s a word that isn’t used a lot these days, but the dictionary defines benevolence as being “well-meaning and kindly”. How does that translate to a demonstration of our faith? Let’s find out!

We are definitely nearing the finish line in our series through this wonderful book, and today we will be in chapter fifteen, verses twenty-two through twenty-five. The providence of God is the topic, and we certainly live in a world where God’s all encompassing power is questioned and rejected by many people. Well, the fact is, mankind’s opinion about God’s providence has nothing to do with the fact that God is in control of everything!

Planning is a good idea in the Christian life, as we’ll  see today on The Dwelling Place.  As we open Romans fifteen, the apostle Paul is about to lay out his plans for future ministry . Pastor Al Pittman has noticed a few principles we can glean from God’s providence in our lives, and he’ll share those momentarily.  We’re getting close to the finish line here in our study of Romans.  No travel guide is needed for this trip, just an open Bible and an open heart to allow the Spirit to lead.

Miracles, signs and wonders are sought after - but too often not the greatest of miracles - and that is a saved and changed life - a wasted life changed into a new and fruitful life is even a greater work!! So how is that accomplished? We’ll find out today on The Dwelling Place. Today’s message is titled “Life Pertaining To God”.

You can focus on a lot of different things and meet a lot of different needs - but what is man’s greatest need? Shouldn’t that be our focus?  Today we’ll be reminded that all ministry is by grace and is to be centered in the gospel. As we’ve seen so many times in recent years, straying from the truth is a commonplace occurrence.

Al Pittman is currently teaching verse by verse through the New Testament book of Romans. Today’s message is all about confidence. Not the bragging kind of confidence we see on display almost everywhere, but the confidence of knowing that God will do what he says he will do.  Again, to have that confidence, we need constant reminders.

As believers, we can have confidence in what God has promised, because we know that God never makes a promise He won’t keep. Pastor Al Pittman encourages us to discover and exploit the goodness of God in our lives as His people. We'll be in Romans fifteen.

We are nearing the end of a verse by verse journey through one of the greatest books in the bible - Paul’s letter to the Romans. Challenging is an understatement when it comes to the words we read here. Romans has been described as the Magna Carta of the Christian faith. Today we’ll continue in chapter fifteen, and a message all about abounding  hope!

Today on The Dwelling Place,  we continue studying one of the most amazing chapters in the bible - Romans fifteen. In Romans fifteen, verses eight through thirteen, we discover that we are to place our hope in the Lord, and not in man. The result will be everlasting peace.

No doubt you’ve experienced hope that tends to decay over time.  But in sharp contrast, the passing of time should only makes a Christian’s hope all the more glorious and strong. Hope is our subject on today’s broadcast, and our text is Romans fifteen verses one through seven.
