Father, as we approach Your Word, we are mindful of our need for the Holy Spirit to be our primary teacher and to guide us into all truth.

Okay, we are still in Romans. Romans chapter 10, and this morning depending upon how quick I can talk and how fast you can listen, my goal is to look at verses 9 through 13. And I would love to be able to take that in if it is possible. So, Romans 10 verses 9 through 13. The title of this lesson is “Jesus is Lord.” And I don’t know that I can come up with a better title for any study than “Jesus is Lord.”

Read More… from Jesus is Lord – Romans 10:9-13

Father, as we come now to the study of Your Word, we recognize we are totally, completely dependent upon the Holy Spirit to guide and direct us into the understanding of Your Word, as well as to be challenged by the Spirit to put it into practice in our own lives. I pray that You will use me really just as a secondary teacher to help explain this text, but we pray the Spirit would be the great Illuminator and Enlightener. Open our eyes that we may behold Your Word. Lord, I thank you for these men. I pray that you will, this summer, just continue to mature them in the Lord and grow them in the grace and knowledge of Christ. I pray that You would now fill me with Your Spirit and stir up within me the gift you’ve put within me so that we can dig into this text and understand and apply what it says. Father, we pray this in Christ’s name. Amen.

We are in Romans 10. Romans 10. So, I invite you to take your Bible, turn with me, and I want to start as I always start by reading the passage that we are going to be looking at.

Read More… from Prayer for the Lost – Romans 10:1-3

Father, as we now look into Your Word, we approach it with reverence and awe. We desire to clothe ourselves with humility. We desire to be slow to speak and quick to hear. We desire for the seed of the Word to find fertile soil in our hearts. We desire that You would cause the Word to bear much fruit in our lives. We are all at different places in our walk with You. Draw from this one passage of Scripture, Lord, and meet each one of us exactly where we are. I pray that the practical relevance of even this text would be very clear as we try to teach sound doctrine. So, I thank You for these men. I thank you for those who are watching all around the world, even the ladies who are joining us by livestream. Bless this study now in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Read More… from The Tragedy of Unbelief – Romans 9:30-33

Father, as we begin this study today, we ask now that You would be our teacher, that You would illumine our understanding and likeness into Your Word. We are totally dependent upon Your Holy Spirit to guide us into all the truth. I think of what Jesus said to Peter, “Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.” So Father in heaven, please make known to us with greater insight and clarity the truth of Your Word and also help us to live it that we can put it into practice. We pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Read More… from The Chosen Remnant – Romans 9:27-29

We are in Romans 9 and I need to begin in a word of prayer. So, let me pray: Father, as we begin this study, we ask that You would open our eyes to see and behold the truths in Your Word. We pray that You would work it into our hearts and into our souls that we would be affected both even in our emotions but even in the challenge to our will as a result of these words. And I pray that as we leave in a bit that we will be transformed, that we will leave different even than when we came in. I thank You for these men who are here. I thank You for all who are watching by livestream, I pray Your blessing upon them. And I ask now that You would fill me with Your Spirit and use me to teach Your Word. So, Father, we commit this hour to You in Christ’s name. Amen.

Read More… from Divine Certainty – Romans 9:25-26

Father, as we look now into Your Word, I pray that You would instruct us and teach us regarding who You are and how You deal with humanity. Lord, we see that You are sovereign and we gladly acknowledge that, that You are supreme in Your authority over all the earth and You have appointed the eternal destiny of every man. And so, Father, enlarge our understanding today, and more than that, enlarge our heart for You and deepen our humility before You. Use this even to mature us and to develop us further into men of God. We pray this in Christ’s name. Amen
