My Testimony My Story. Read 1 Peter 3:15. As we have just finished the Roman Road, I decided it would only make sense to take a few moments and share the story of my journey of faith. You see, I look around the world these days and I see so many people searching for purpose and seeking validation from others. I know how strong this pull can be, yet I also know that I don’t have to give in to the temptation to chase that. When I look at why that is, it all goes back to when I was a kid. I grew up in a home that spoke…

The Roman Road, Day 5 Step 5: The confirmation. Read Romans 10:13. How often do you save the confirmation emails? You know, those emails or texts that you receive when you order something or schedule something. I like to keep them at just in case something comes up, or a question is asked later about what I ordered or what I set up. Those confirmation emails come in very handy if there’s ever a question about whether or not I actually did something. God gives us the same assurance. We saw yesterday that it comes down to a decision we need to make and a choice that we have. Once…

The Roman Road, Day 4 Step 4: Personal Decision. Read Romans 10:9. We all have to face that moment. We can watch and study and learn all we want, but no matter what we have spent our time and energy learning, there will always come a moment when we have to take the step and take action ourselves. On the Roman Road we’ve been studying, today is that day. We may have heard who God is. We may have understood that we were sinners. We may even know the story of God’s love for us, but each and every one of us must come to the place where we make…

The Roman Road, Day 3 Step 3: God’s amazing love. We talk a lot about love in today’s culture. We encourage people to be loving toward others, and we want to see people act lovingly toward us. However, the truest demonstration of what love actually is came from God and it was demonstrated 2000 years ago by Jesus Christ. As we learned in the previous two days, we are not worthy of love. We are sinners. The only thing we have earned as a result of our sin is death. That is what we deserve, and that is all we have ever earned. However, God made the decision that he…

The Roman Road, Day 2 Step 2: We have earned death. Read Romans 6:23. My daughter recently changed jobs, and while it wasn’t the entire reason, part of the reason why she changed is she moved to a job that pays her more money. Her wages have increased. The new job believes the value that she brings is higher, so they are paying her more. Often we like to think of things in terms of what we are owed. We feel that we are entitled or have earned certain things like a specific amount of salary or a certain amount of benefits. What we need to understand is that we…

The Roman Road, Day 1 Step 1: we are all sinners. Read Romans 3:23. For the next 5 days, we’re gonna walk through a message that has been referred to as the Roman road. In praying about where we should study next, I was struck by the importance of the gospel message. We all need to have a strong understanding of exactly what is the gospel? Why did Jesus come, and why does it matter? While many different evangelism tools have been created through the years, one of the first methods that I learned in order to share my faith was the “Roman Road.” The Roman Road is a grouping…

The Coming Savior, Day 1 We have spent the last several weeks and months looking at difficulties and challenges and in suffering in the Christian life. Now we are going to move to the idea of salvation. Read Exodus chapter 1. While it wasn’t originally intended to be so, the Israelites moving to Egypt resulted in profound suffering for them. There came a point where all the good and amazing deeds that the Israelites had done for the Egyptians were forgotten. Scripture never says that the Israelites started being a problem for the Egyptians, the Egyptian’s just perceived the potential of an issue. The Israelites never did anything wrong. However,…
