Understanding God's divine choices can be difficult. Though the Scriptures give us a great deal of information about God, 

there is much we can never know. However, God has revealed Himself to be holy, just, separate from sin, and always wise. 

In Romans 9:19-24, Pastor David explains that God's perfect character and omniscience combine to accomplish His glory. 

We are vessels made by the Master Potter. 

From Romans 9:1-20, the Scriptures teach us about God's divine choices that called Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to experience Hi divines blessings. God sovereignly and wisely directed the plan whereby He would be honored and glorified. 

Is there anything that can separate a believer from the love of God? 

No. Nothing can do that. By His covenant with us, the commitment God made with

those who put their faith in Christ endures forever.

Are the things that happen to a believer simply random events that have no purpose and no explanation? The Bible declares that to be untrue. God wisely works in order to use each circumstance that comes into a believer's life for the purpose of shaping us to be like His Son. Though some of those things may bring pain, they work together in order to accomplish God's master work.

God is at work in the lives of those who trust Him and believe in His Son, the Savior, Jesus Christ. At the same time, 

through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, God is working to bring about a radical transformation of our lives and character

to reflect His glory. All three members of the Trinity are actively engaged in our lives to accomplish His perfect purpose in us.

Our Associate Pastor, Thomas Smith, brought a message from 1 Peter to help us understand how

God uses suffering to accomplish His goal in believers. As Peter writes, "in this we rejoice."

Romans 5:12-21 presents a vivid contrast. It is the difference in what mankind received by birth from Adam compared to what we have through the new birth by faith in Christ. Connecting this passage to the observation of Memorial Day, Pastor David explained that Christ willingly sacrificed Himself to save those who were cursed by Adam's fall.

Celebrating 154 years of God's blessings, Flemings Chapel held our annual Homecoming service on May 21, 2023.  Special music, graduate and military recognitions, and a message from the book of Romans 12:1-2 were all part of the service. Pastor David compared the current cultural slide to the commands of Scripture for how believers should live.

God is at work in the lives of believers to grow them into the image of Christ. He uses trials to bring about perseverance. He uses that perseverance to establish character that stands the test. That renewed character helps is to have confidence (hope) in the Lord.  But how do we know God loves us enough to be able to trust Him?  Because He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for us though we were miserably lost in sin. Therefore, we can celebrate that great love and trust God in all things.

With nothing we can do to earn God's favor, God grants it to us as a gift when we look to Him in faith.  The faith that saves causes God to declare us righteous (completely holy and acceptable to Him). And He gives us peace because we stand in His grace (instead of in our own guilt). What a great God!

The value of faith is in view in Romans 4:16-25,  Faith, a response to the Word of God,

is what God honors. Just as Abraham was declared righteous based on his faith, so the believer today

is in right standing based on faith, not works.

Romans 2:17-29 gives a picture of hypocrisy. The Apostle Paul calls out the descendants of Abraham for relying on

tradition instead of transformation through their faith.  It would be easy to read this passage and think, "That's for someone else." The passage is actually a call to self-examination.  It deserves careful consideration so that we live by faith and in obedience.

God sees us for who we are and all that we do.  His judgment is always just because it comes in holiness and

without partiality.  In Romans 2:1-6 Paul urges the readers to recognize the truth of God as a call to obedience.

In Paul's message in Romans 1:18-32, he describes God's response to sin. Often people focus on the

sins they find most objectionable while excusing their own guilty behavior.  The passage provides the

opportunity for a moving message on the need to be right with God, taking all sin seriously.

Unashamed of the Gospel!  Why?  Because, it is the power of God. 

It portrays God's righteousness. It transforms lives.

In this introductory message to the Book of Romans, Pastor David reveals some of the background and history of the book. 

Even more, he describes the transformation that occurred in Paul the apostle who was called to be God's servant!
