WATCH FAITHFUL BIBLICAL TEACHING ON KEY CULTURAL ISSUES This fall, Cedarville welcomed Dr. Christopher Yuan to provide a biblical view on relationships and sexuality. Dr. Yuan traced the roots of LGBTQ+ ideology and combatted the lies of our culture with biblical truth. Do you need a refresher on this important issue? You can watch sessions from Dr. Yuan online at cedarville.edu/chapel! JESUS WINS The following is an excerpt from an August 21, 2025, Fall Bible Conference presentation from Dr. Jimmy Scroggins. Listen to his full message at cedarville.edu/ScrogginsAugust2025. Open your Bibles to Romans 8. First, I want you to see that Jesus is for you. Paul says, “You want to know that Jesus is for you? He was crucified for you.” And not only was He crucified for us, but He was raised from the dead. God has already called you and declared you justified because of your faith in Christ. Satan brings up all your sins against God. I can picture Satan saying, “God, why do you care so much about this guy? He doesn't look anything like you. Why don't you just let this one go?" And I can imagine God saying, “That one belongs to me. All of the sins that you can bring up have been put under the blood of my Son. I've declared them righteous with my own voice.” Number two: Jesus is with you. Paul asks this rhetorical question: “Who can separate us from the love of Christ?” And he lists all the things that might separate us from the love of Christ: death, distance, danger. And yet, Paul says, none of these things are big enough to overcome the absolute, unconditional, sacrificial, selfless love that Christ has put on display for you. Sin separates us from God. But Jesus dealt with that separation at the cross. Third idea: Jesus loves you. There's a lot of places in Scripture that say God loves you, but this is one of the few places where it specifically says Jesus loves you. Jesus, God the Son, loves you in His own person. Last idea, number four: Jesus wins. If you are in Christ, that means life is a fight. And you will win because Christ has already won. He's been crucified on the cross. He's been buried. God raised Him from the dead. And then Jesus ascended to heaven. From there, He will return to judge the living and the dead. At the end of the day, you are more than a conqueror because Jesus wins. That is the message of the entire Bible. At the end of it all, Jesus wins. Dr. Jimmy Scroggins is the lead pastor at Family Church in West Palm Beach, Florida. 35
