Here, the apostle Paul gives us a catalog of 21 vices that depict man at his worst. These vices characterize the man who has rejected God. They also give us clarity into why people are the way they are and why the world is the way that it is. In the end, the only One who can redeem man from such depravity is Jesus. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 1:28-32.

WCSK series six is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans. In this episode, Reverend Sadaphal discusses further the effects of man's suppression of truth and God's subsequent expression of wrath. Accordingly, idolatry begets immorality, specifically manifested as homosexual acts of fornication.

Our Scripture focus will be Romans 1:26-27.

WCSK series six is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans. In this episode, Reverend Sadaphal begins to discuss the effects of man's suppression of truth and God's expression of wrath. Accordingly, the main focus in this episode is on the idea of judicial abandonment. That is, how God's wrath is expressed is that He "gives over" a man to his own sin. Some men reject and don't want God, so in such cases, God gives them exactly what they want. The bad news is that what a sinner wants neither satisfies him nor gives him what he expects in the end. The argument being made here ultimately points to Christ, the only One who saves us from the wrath of God. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 1:24-25.

WCSK series six is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans.

If how God reveals His righteousness is by faith, what is faith and who do we have faith in? Dr. Sadaphal also expounds the "chief article" upon which the Church stands: justification by faith alone. Every other major doctrine of the Christian faith flows from this, so it is critically important to know. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 1:16-17.

WCSK series six is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans. In this episode, Reverend Sadaphal begins to explain the gospel or the good news. The gospel is good news because there is bad news. So what is the bad news? If God is good then how can He justly forgive sinners? How can a man who is not right with God "get right" with the Lord? If the gospel is "good news" for all people then why are so many ashamed of it? This episode provides clarity and meaningful answers. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 1:16-17.

Our Scripture focus will be Romans 1:13-15.

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Jesus says many things that blow your mind and throw you for a loop. He describes forgiveness (c.f. Matthew 18:21-35) as a response to what God has done for us. So, because God forgives His own, we are now free to forgive. But let's face reality: oftentimes forgiveness is hard because we may not feel like it. So how do we forgive and what are the benefits of forgiveness? This episode provides clarity and meaningful answers. In the end forgiveness is better because it is God's way and His way is the way of life and freedom. Our Scripture focus will be Matthew 6:14-15.

The Reformers (of the Protestant Reformation) lived by the mantra, "Sola Scriptura" which means "Scripture alone."

He seems to suggest in Matthew 6 that human unforgiveness leads to being forsaken by God. This begs the question: if unforgiveness is so dangerous, then why is it so popular? If unforgiveness is in fact spiritual suicide, then why do so many people believe the lie that unforgiveness is beneficial? Our Scripture focus will be Matthew 6:14-15.

Our Scripture focus will be Matthew 6:14-15.
