Romans Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church

Pastor John Perling and Executive Director Ron Hinchman are in Romans Chapter 2 today, verses 1-5.
2 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

Pastor John Perling and Executive Director Ron Hinchman get back on the Romans road after a summer break.
Today they pick up in Chapter 2 where Paul is reminding us that we all fall under the judgement of God. We are all accountable. None of us are better or less sinful than another.

Pastor John Perling and Executive Director Ron Hinchman continue to walk through the Book of Romans together with you. Today's session asks the question of how God responds and how our enemies may respond in the face of our sin.

Pastor John Perling and Executive Director Ron Hinchman dive into the 'why' of what Jesus has done.
What is wrong with God's creation and people that requires His intervention? Paul lays out how sin has gotten so embedded into the world that it's hard to even see the light of day anymore. Jesus is the solution to the problem of sin.

Pastor John Perling and Executive Director Ron Hinchman continue their walk through Romans.
Today they are in Romans 1:18 which marks a new section of Romans. One aspect of hearing the Gospel is recognizing the need for it. Paul describes the human condition apart from Christ and what it is to live in a world apart from the love of God in Jesus Christ.

Pastor John Perling and Executive Director Ron Hinchman continue their walk through the book of Romans. Today's conversation expands on God accomplishing His work by speaking Gospel good news words to us and how that changes everything for us. Pastor John and Ron focus on Christian Education, specifically confirmation class, which provides 'body armor' to withstand the assaults and temptations of the evil one and prepares us to take on responsibilities in the church.
