Summary Before we turn to today’s passage, perhaps I should remind you of what Paul has been teaching us in this wonderful letter. He began with the bad news that, in our natural state, we’re all sinners who are justly liable to God’s condemnation and wrath. There is no difference between us, he said, for … Continue reading Romans 08(05–13)

John 14(18–31)
Introduction We’ve been working our way through John chapters 13 and 14 for a few weeks now. The Lord and his disciples gathered together for what is known as the Last Supper.

Romans 08(01–04)
Introduction Last week we were studying verses 7 to 25 of Romans 7. And I said at the beginning that in the past I’ve always interpreted that passage as Paul describing his own experience as a believer, struggling with sin. So, as a believer, he loves God’s law and wants to keep it. He wants … Continue reading Romans 08(01–04)
Romans 07(07–25)
Introduction This is not the first time I’ve preached or spoken about this passage. And every time I’ve preached or spoken about it, I’m always said that Paul is writing about the inner conflict he experienced and which every believer experiences in our daily lives. We love God’s law and we want to do God’s … Continue reading Romans 07(07–25)
Romans 07(01–06)
Introduction This is now our sixteenth week on Paul’s letter to the Romans. And Paul has so much to say about our salvation that we need to keep going back over what he has said to keep track of it all.

Romans 05(12–21)
Review We’ve been going through Paul’s letter to the Romans since March. And his letter began with the bad news that there’s no difference between us, because all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. And so, all of us are justly liable to suffer God’s wrath against sinners in … Continue reading Romans 05(12–21)
Romans 06(15–23)
Introduction Paul has been teaching us that sin and death came into the world because of Adam; and justification and life came into the world because of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the beginning, Adam disobeyed God’s clear command concerning the forbidden fruit. And by disobeying God, it’s as if he opened a door that … Continue reading Romans 06(15–23)
John 14(07–17)
Introduction We’re getting closer and closer to the time when the Lord Jesus will be arrested and taken away to be tried and then crucified on the cross as the true Passover Lamb who died so that all who believe will be spared from the wrath of God and live for ever. We’re getting closer … Continue reading John 14(07–17)
John 13(31)–14(06)
Introduction We spent our time last week on the first thirty verses of John 13 when the Lord Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. And we saw how washing their feet and taking his place afterwards is a picture of his mission to save us from our sins, because just as he got up … Continue reading John 13(31)–14(06)
Romans 05(01–05)
Introduction I hardly need to remind you that Paul began his letter with the bad news that there’s no difference between us, because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory God. And we are therefore justly liable to suffer God’s wrath against sinners. However, after the bad news, there’s the good news, which … Continue reading Romans 05(01–05)
