An Outline of Romans—From Faith To Faith

I've recently picked up studying Romans again and found this old outline that I had scratched down maybe 15 years ago. It was refreshing for me to see and was not something that I had seen in a commentary or heard in a message.

An Outline of Romans

the gospel's salvation is powerful—from faith to faith

The Individual or Specific View of the Gospel

from faith (Romans 1:18-5:11)

to faith (Romans 5:12-8:39)

The Corporate or General View of the Gospel

from faith: (Romans 9:1-11:36)

to faith: (Romans 12:1-16:27)

The phrase "from faith to faith" comes from Romans 1:17, depending on your translation. Combining that verse with the previous one, you learn how the gospel is God's power to save everyone, and they are saved on the principle of faith to faith. There is always a beginning experience, and then there is the maturing experience. This outline heavily leans on that concept. The unique feature for me is in splitting the book into two halves for the individual and for the group.

Crave the word

So glad for this verse today: as newborn babes desire earnestly [crave] the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation - 1 Peter 2:2 Try reading 10 chapters by the choice of craving and then read some more by the reactive desire of it. How often are my 5 or 10 second moments spent checking some other happiness than Christ? In 5 seconds I can check notifications or I can chew on my manna for the day. In 10 seconds I can check for new emails or rehearse that verse I've been trying to memorize. I can spend just 5 minutes listening to the news or I can spend it finishing a daily Bible reading portion. Mother's milk is the best thing for the newborn baby. The milk of the word is the best source of joy all through the day. "crave ... the word ... if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good."

The mystery of Israel: a conversation about prophecies and modern events

This is not a message, it is more of a discussion that I’ve been having with several people by phone call or email or chat or in person. This only includes some notes on it but I wanted to share a more comprehensive view all at once.

God Has Spoken Series

Question: Where can I get the audio messages of Stephen Kaung's God Has Spoken series? If I could recommend only one book or series by Stephen Kaung it would be his God Has Spoken series. He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on. Below are links to each of the original messages. Old Testament Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-...
