Romans
God Speaks
This week we’re excitedly honored to host J.R. Favela, the Planting Pastor at Citylight Church Amarillo! J.R. returns to Citylight Manayunk to deliver the BIG IDEA that “God Speaks.” Working through Psalm 19, J.R. shows us that God is specifically telling us to:
- Listen
- Cherish
- Turn
Christ The Savior Is Born.
Join us for our Ch1ristmas Eve service as Pastor Matt unpacks the BIG IDEA of both our passage and our final Christmas Carol (Silent Night):
Christ the Savior is born!
1.He is the humble Savior
2.He is the glorious Savior
3.He brings us peace
Don’t reject the grace of God.
This week, Pastor Matt encourages us with the Big Idea: Don’t reject the grace of God. What does that look like?
1. Don’t reject those God has welcomed (2:11-14)
2. Remember that you were justified by faith alone, not works (2:15-16)
3. Live by faith (2:17-21)

Hope in the Glory That Awaits You
This week, Pastor Paul teaches us how to Hope in the Glory that Awaits You.
How?
1. Groan longingly in suffering
2. Wait expectantly for glory

God Is For You
Over the last two weeks in Romans 8, we’ve learned that God says to us sufferers, “your present suffering is nothing compared to the glory that I’m going to reveal to you and, while you wait for glory, I’m working in all of the waiting for your ultimate good.” But in today’s passage, the Apostle Paul flips the question from “what does God say?” to “what do you say?”
This morning’s passage shows us that we can say “God is for you.” We know this because the passage explains that God gave his son for you, God justifies you, and nothing will separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God is Working in Our Waiting
God is working in our waiting:
- Through the Spirit
- For Good
- For Christians
Future Glory
What does God say to sufferers? He doesn’t avoid suffering; He speaks right into it, but with hope: Your present sufferings are nothing compared to your future glory.

The Gospel Isn’t Therapy
The gospel isn’t therapy because the gospel deals with our biggest problem: rebellion; the gospel provides our greatest need: peace with; and because the gospel secures the destiny we were made for.
The End of the Matter
Fear God and live and die well
