In this episode we wrap up our review of the White/Flowers debate on John 6:44. This is where the debate really gets heated, and especially Dr. Flowers kind of loses his cool and he departs substantially from the topic of the debate and wanders off into subjects to toss choice red meat to his base. Enjoy!

In this episode we continue our study of the book of Romans. We looked at the concept of being set free from sin and becoming a slave of righteousness in Romans 6:15-23...and we discover that Paul's autobiographical description in Romans 7:14-25 fits this description. We talk about true repentance and other related issues.

In this episode, we continue our study of what Paul means when he says we "died to sin". To do this I show how Paul explains the indicatives of 6:1-14 in 7:1-13. We go over the marraige analogy that Paul works from and we see Paul's own experience of dying to sin.

In this new episode of our study of the book of Romans, we introduce a very important but very difficult section of Romans: chapters 6 and 7. Here we lay the groundwork for future episodes, by talking about the relationship of these two chapters, looking at Paul's understanding of the role of the Law, and talking about the difference between the indicative and the imperative.

In this episode ,we continue our verse by verse study of the book of Romans and we look at the controversial question of what it means that death spread to all men, "because all sinned".

Tune in and find out!

In this special live episode, Pastor Steve Vinay from Abiding Grace Church joins us to walk through James 2 and Romans 4, to discuss how James and Paul are actually standing back to back fighting against 2 different issues, rather than seeing them as contradicting each other.
