Romans - Week 23: Romans 13:8-14 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week Pastor Mel preached Romans 13:8-14, where Paul turns from governing authority to the people inside the church. His call to a divided church is love — not a starry-eyed feeling but a sacrificial practice. It's the only debt worth carrying. Paul sums up the commandments against adultery, murder, stealing, and coveting in one line from Leviticus 19:18, "Love your neighbor as yourself," and Mel shows why love is the antidote: it is hard to sin against someone you truly love. He is clear th
BACK40 E130 - One Side of Hell, Wielding Power (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode we start with hell: whether part of its suffering will be the final realization of how much God loved us, why hell is better understood as the natural end we were all headed toward than as a punishment God adds, and why a good God is the one who stepped in to save us from it. Next we talk about power. If God grants us authority over other people, what is the most God honoring way to use it? We look at Jesus' words in Matthew 20, why the higher you go the more you have to serve, a
Romans - Week 22: Romans 13:1-7 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor Mel preached Romans 13:1-7, the passage on how a Christian relates to governing authority. He makes the case that believers are called to submit to the authorities God places over them — even the ones they did not vote for. Submission to authority is godly, wise, and fair. But he is equally clear that the state's authority is not absolute: there is a place for civil disobedience when a government commands what God forbids or forbids what God commands. Our conscience both compels obedience
Bible Study E14 - Genesis 6:1-10 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This study moves into Genesis 6:1-10 and the events leading up to the Flood. As humanity multiplies, so does its corruption — the sons of God (Seth's godly line) take wives from the daughters of man (the apostate line of Cain), and godliness mixes with godlessness. We examine why the Lord declares that His Spirit will not strive with man forever, limiting human life to 120 years as both a judgment and a merciful reprieve. We learn about the Nephilim — the "mighty men of renown" who reveal what u
Romans - Week 21: Romans 12:9-21 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor Mel preached Romans 12:9-21, the final movement of Romans chapter 12. After eleven chapters of doctrine, Paul turns to the practical shape of life in a divided church. His prescription for unity is genuine love — costly, sacrificial, and possible only by the power of the Holy Spirit. Mel walks the passage command by command: really love rather than pretend, and hate what is wrong; take delight in honoring one another; never be lazy but serve the Lord enthusiastically, confronting what he
