Looking at Pauls teaching in Eph. 4:17-24 in conjunction with his etter to the Romans

If God's plan, even as far back as Ruth, included outsiders, then we too can do a better job and how we treat others who appear to us to be outsiders. Christians are notorious for judging and ostracizing others, rather than being open to learn from others as well as impart to them as well. This message wreaks for GRACE in its purest form. Take a listen!

Pastor Orban asks what do you do when God does the unthinkable.

Paul's letter the the Ephesians is absolutely magnifcent! The Lord gave him amazing insight into the redemption heart of God. And revealed to the apostle the mystery that was hidden for ages: Christ broke down the dividing wall the separated Jew (God's people) from Gentile and made both Jews and Gentiles one in Christ. What was that dividing wall and how did Christ break it? Christ also abolished the law of commandments expressed in ordinances. What is that all about? Come with the Grace United crew as we take a deep dive into the riches of God's grace toward both Jew and Gentile in Christ.

v.1 For what reason? For the purpose of building God’s church, as mentioned in the previous verses. Paul identifies himself as a prisoner of Christ for the gentiles. He was specifically referring to his imprisonment in Rome, which was because of his ministry to the gentiles. Paul was imprisoned for His…

Romans 11 reveals God's intricate and sovereign plan for both Jews and Gentiles, emphasizing the necessity of faith and warning against the peril of boasting.

Do you ever doubt whether you are worthy of God's mercy in your life? As we celebrate Epiphany Sunday, we remember God's grace is for all people - not just Israelites. God tells Isaiah to tell eunuchs and foreigners that it's not your background, but your faithfulness that matters to Him. Pastor Andrew preaches from Isaiah 56:1-8.

When the All-worthy of all praise Christ came, Gentile Magi rejoiced and worshiped, Jews disbelieved and the King plotted His death. Mathew 2 reveals more reasons we too should fall down in adoration of the Christ. How does your heart respond to Him?

Follow Paul's reflection on how God has chosen to bring people to unity through the gospel - through the mutual experience of undeserved and unmeasurable mercy to the disobedient. Then proceed with Paul in his spontaneous doxology!

In this 2nd of 2 parts, we take in Paul's warning against jumping to wrong conclusions about God's people Israel, and his warning to Gentiles against pride for having been grafted in to the kingdom of God.

There probably haven’t been a lot of sermons preached on this particular passage, seeing it is short and acts as a transition from the healing ministry of Jesus to His teaching ministry. This does not mean that He didn’t teach before, but it seems that His teaching was interrupted by the great needs…

In the beginning, the Christian Church was almost exclusively Jewish. Controversially, the apostles took the Gospel of the Jewish Jesus to non-Jews. Peter goes to Cornelius. Christians scattered by persecution head to Antioch preaching “to Greeks also.” And Paul: apostle to the Gentiles. Over time, the…

By Pastor Glenn Pease Paul is the most traveled man in the New Testament. He covered much of the known world of his day, and his ambition was to go to the end of the world. The furthest point West that man could then go was Spain. Spain is only mentioned twice in the New Testament, and both times by…

By Pastor Glenn Pease A professor of math once said that if his life depended upon solving a problem in 15 minutes he would spend 10 minutes trying to understand the problem. Understanding is so essential if any problem is going to be brought to a satisfactory solution. Misunderstanding of a problem,…

Our Gospel gives us a classic example of what Paul talked about in Romans 4 - that God justifies the wicked and “calls things that are not as though they were.” - for in John 4 we meet a woman behind the eight ball. First, she’s a woman. That doesn’t make her less human, but there were taboos about men…

By Pastor Glenn Pease Earl M. Finch became one of the most popular bachelors in Hawaii because he had the gift of hospitality. It all started in Hattiesberg, Mississippi when he saw a Japanese soldier reading the menu on the window of a drugstore. He felt the impulse to go over to the G I and say, "Are…

In Isaiah 56, the Lord tells his people, Israel, to keep on keepin’ on: “Maintain justice and do what is right.” He goes on in verse 2, and says, “Blessed is the man who does this, the man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.” Nothing…
