Dear Beloved Listener,

Greetings to you on this beautiful 1st day of December! We are so grateful to have you join us as we journey through the final month of the year. As always, it is a blessing to spend time in the Word with you every day.

Episode Highlights:

Host: Hunter

Scripture Focus: Romans 5-8

In today's episode, Hunter delves into one of the most profound and theologically rich sections of the Bible—the book of Romans, chapters 5 through 8. These chapters offer us a powerful reminder of God's incredible grace and the transformative power of Christ’s love and sacrifice.

Key Takeaways:

Romans 5: We have peace with God through our faith in Jesus Christ. This chapter emphasizes the hope we have, even in suffering, because of God’s endless love and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 6: As we are united with Christ in His death and resurrection, we are called to live new lives, free from the power of sin.

Romans 7: The struggle with sin is real, but the law makes us aware of our need for Jesus, who rescues us from the power of sin and death.

Romans 8: There is no condemnation for those in Christ. We are now led by the Holy Spirit, called to be God's children. Nothing can separate us from God's love.

Join Us in Prayer:

Here are the prayers Hunter offered during the episode. Feel free to meditate on these or share them with someone in need of encouragement:

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.

Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen

And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
