Included | Romans 12 - His Body, Our Body (Andrew Allison
St. Paul's Leaskdale Audio Podcast
Romans 12 is the description of what happens when God’s mercy overflows in a church’s life. Lifelong attitudes change, love becomes genuine, mocking enemies are not met with equal and opposite force but, quite the opposite, with peace and gentleness. Be praying even now for how God will speak uniquely to your small group.

Included | Romans 11:25-36 - Israel And Us (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Audio Podcast
All along, we’ve been saying that God’s heart is to see us INCLUDED. That’s why Jesus came, and that’s the subject of Paul’s letter to the Romans. At times, Christians forget God’s radical inclusion of them and go back to the old patterns of competing and comparing. Sadly, that was happening in the Roman Church. Paul has one powerful dose for that sickness.

Included | Romans 10:8-15 - Included Together (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Audio Podcast
I love it when people have the gift of communicating clearly. Paul, following Moses in the second half of Deuteronomy 30, does exactly that: communicates clearly. Here’s what it means to become and be a Christian: it means believing the Resurrection and not keeping that good news to yourself! Clear, but not easy! This is something you’ll do for the rest of your life!

Included | Romans 9 - By God's Choice (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Audio Podcast
The word “predestination” tends to get the hair on the back of people’s necks standing on end! Nobody likes the idea of God choosing who is ‘in’ and who is ‘out’. Paul doesn’t really mean to tackle that question in this passage but he does intend to talk about what God’s plan is for humanity and how we are included in carrying that plan.

Included | Romans 8:18-39 - Included in Suffering (Lynnita Weber)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Audio Podcast
The world is broken and in pain, and so are we. All of us suffer, including (maybe especially) followers of Jesus. But Jesus gives us resources for walking through suffering: a perspective shaped by hope, prayer to process pain and grief, and the promise of his forever, unlimited love.

Included | Romans 8:1-17 - Children of God (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Audio Podcast
One of the struggles with Christianity is knowing how it really works. We can feel shame because we do something wrong or we're not doing enough. We re-dedicate ourselves hoping the next time is a charm. Or we think the point of life is to ‘go to heaven and take as many people with us as possible’. Is that what Jesus intended? How can we know what Jesus intends? Romans 8 is a power-packed, super-condensed explanation of how Christianity works.

Included | Romans 7:14-25 - Following The Rules (Lynnita Weber)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Audio Podcast
Paul is really getting to the heart of the matter! Many of us who read the Old Testament come away scratching our heads. Why didn’t these people, God’s Chosen People, do what they were told? Why are the early Scriptures so full of failure and frustration? They had everything going for them. God was on their side, yet they experienced failure after failure. Perhaps you identify! Paul looks into the reasons why this happened and the only solution for rescue.

Included | Romans 5:1-11 - Poured His Love (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Audio Podcast
One of the modern struggles for those who trust Jesus is what to do with suffering? How can a loving God allow suffering? That question did not trouble Paul in the least. He knew that suffering, at least for now, is a universal human experience. The real question for Paul was: How does the cross of Christ redeem suffering? He dives into that, and, not surprisingly, it gives him one more reason to talk about the fantastic love of God expressed in the death of Jesus.

Included | Romans 4:18-25 - Against All Hope (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Audio Podcast
What does it mean, and what does it look like to ’trust God’? It’s one thing to talk about theories or doctrine; it’s another to actually do it! Enter Abraham and Sarah, two people staring down the barrel of a hopeless situation. Faith may not look like what you think.
