Session 41 – Romans; Romans 9:19-24; Mark Lanier, 09/20/26 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the Greco-Roman world, a mortal who talked back to a god got obliterated—turned into a spider, a weeping stone, or skinned alive. But when Paul's audience expects a thunderbolt, God gives them a potter at his wheel—because God interrogates, He doesn't incinerate.
Session 40 – Romans; Romans 9: Mark Lanier, 09/13/26 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This teaching on Romans 9 traces Paul's retelling of Israel's story — from the patriarchs through the Exodus and prophets — to show that God's Word has never failed. Using the metaphor of the potter and the clay, it demonstrates that God's shaping of history, including hardship, is proof of His reliability, not a philosophical argument about predestination.
Special Event – Summer Series: The Ten Commandments; Pastor Brent Johnson, 09/06/26 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This message explores the Ten Commandments through the lenses of Moses, Jesus, and Paul to reveal that God's law was never meant to save us through rule-keeping, but to show us our need for a Savior. By tracing examples from Genesis through the New Testament, we see how the law acts as a tutor that drives us toward abundant life found only in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Session 39 – Romans; Romans 9:14-18: Mark Lanier, 08/30/26 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
God's word came through a real first century teacher, Paul, teaching the way the best teachers of his century taught. Mercy is never owed — it doesn't depend on human will or exertion, but on God who has mercy.
Session 38 – Romans; Romans 9, Has God’s Word Failed?: Mark Lanier, 08/23/26 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this teaching on Romans 9, Mark Lanier uses his background as a biblical languages scholar and trial lawyer to show that God's promises have never failed, tracing Israel's story through Isaac and Jacob to demonstrate that membership in God's family has always been by grace, not race. The lesson ends with a teaser for next week: whether the election of Jacob over Esau refers to their historical roles as nations, individual salvation, or both.
