Romans

INTRODUCTION:

INTRODUCTION:

            Last Sunday we returned to Romans 12 after a month of examining the incarnation of Jesus Christ from four different passages of Scripture.  We only got through one verse, so we return to the passage we began going through last week, verses 9-13, the first half of a new section in this chapter.  In this final section Paul gives us some 25 exhortations that should be exemplified in the life of a disciplined, Spirit-controlled, obedient Christian.

INTRODUCTION:

            This morning as promised we return to where we left off in the book of Romans.  Before December we had made it through Romans 12:8, so this morning we will pick up in Romans 12:9.

INTRODUCTION:

            This morning I plan to finish up the first section of Romans 12, verses 1-8.  Then for the next two weeks Dr. Vern Wilkinson will be here doing a two-part series from the book of Philippians.  Then we will be into the first week of December and I will be doing some messages on the first advent of Jesus Christ and His incarnation for the month of December.  Then in January we will return again to Romans and finish up chapter 12 and continue on towards the end of the book.

            This morning is our fourth Sunday in this section, and I promise we will finish it this morning.  We have three more verses to go.  Next week we will begin the third and final section of Romans 11 which when we finish will bring us to the end of the three chapters that Paul has devoted to the nation of Israel and her place and part in God’s plan of redemption.
