Romans Part 4 (Romans 8:10 - 16:27) 
God is to be Glorified in Us 
May 20, 1997 
Zane C. Hodges 
 
God has visited us with His wonderful mercy. We have been justified by faith. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are to experience resurrection life. In experiencing resurrection life, we are to work out the will of God. The bottom line of everything is that God is to be glorified in us. There is an extended discussion on Romans 8:22-23, Romans 8:16, and Romans 10:9. Zane answers the question of "What about those who have never heard the Gospel?" Other passages mentioned include: Genesis 27, Hebrews 12:16-17, Malachi 1:2,3, 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16; Joel 2; John 5:24; 1 Corinthians 4:5; Matthew 11:22-24; Genesis 18:25; Genesis 1:2-3; and 2 Corinthians 4:6.

Judges 4:1-24; 5:24-27 
Can You Do It Alone? 
Zane C. Hodges 
January 25, 1998 
Other than God, who are we relying on, in order to live a successful Christian life? In this passage regarding Barak, the Israeli commander, and Deborah, the prophetess and judge, we learn that a successful Christian life is possible without the protection and assistance of others, when we have complete confidence in God to see us through.

Hard Pressed on Every Side, Yet Not Crushed! 
Zane C. Hodges 
December 28, 1997 
Have you ever felt that you cannot relate to the amazing stories in the Bible, because you are just an average person? The story of Shamgar illustrates for us that God has the capacity to reach into the most obscure places and touch the most unknown and insignificant people and pull them out and use them for His glory.  You don’t need to be somebody to become somebody for God.  If you have the capacity to trust God, God knows where you are, and God can pull you out of your obscurity and use you to accomplish victories for Him.  All believers have a weapon to fight the battles of life, which is the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  In order to be triumphant when you are hard pressed on every side, you need to know how to use God’s word and apply it to your life and situation.  When we win our own personal victories, those victories can be used for the benefit and deliverance of other people. Zane also relates his brush with danger in his encounter with a youth gang. Other passages mentioned include: 2 Corinthians 4:8-9; Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 5:25.

Judges 2:20-3:4 
What Have You Learned from Your Troubles? (July 13, 1997) 
Zane C. Hodges 
When we do not follow the Lord and invite His anger, we are asking for trouble. God uses troubles to teach use spiritual warfare. The troubles that come into our lives because of disobedience, are troubles that can teach us to fight the good fight of faith so that we can learn that God can give us victory over anything. Faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Other passages mentioned include: Ephesians 6:12 and 2 Timothy 4:7.

Is Your God a Stranger? (June 22 1997) 
Zane C. Hodges 
In this message given the day after Zane’s 65-year-old birthday party, Zane looks at the nation of Israel and their turning away from the Lord after the times of Joshua and various judges. Zane applies this as an illustration and warning for our own Christian lives. A Christian can drift so far from God that God is a stranger to such Christian. The surest evidence that we as Christians are not having intimate fellowship with God is disobedience to His commandments. Are we committed to God and walking in His ways, so that God will not be a stranger? Other passages mentioned include: John 17:3-4; 1 John 2:3-4; Proverbs 3:11-12; Hebrews 10:30-31; Hebrews 12:28-29

Judges 1:16-20 
The Enemy Has Iron Chariots (April 13, 1997) 
Zane C. Hodges 
Iron chariots were not a problem for the Almighty God, but they were a problem for the tribe of Judah.  Do we have problems in our lives, like the iron chariots, that we think there is no hope? When the iron chariots of the enemy appear in our lives, with God on your side, it is always too soon to quit. The iron chariots were too big and too strong for the whole tribe of Judah, but the sons of a giant are too small and too weak to resist a man of faith like Caleb. God can use the iron chariots and giants in our lives to bring us deliverance and victory. What we need to do, is to trust Him to do it. Victory is ours through Jesus Christ our Lord. Other passages mentioned include: Numbers 13:1-14:9; John 6:47.

What kind of spouse would we choose for our children and what can we do about it? What do our children need that is as important as food on the table and clothes on their backs?

Spiritual Victory, What Does It Really Mean? (January 19, 1997) 
Zane C. Hodges 
In this introduction to the Book of Judges, we discover that Judges is a manual and primer on Christian warfare.  The greatest and mightiest military leader that we can possibly follow is our Captain Jesus Christ.  If we follow Him into battle trusting in His power, He can lead us to victory.  Other passages mentioned include: Exodus 21-24-25; 1 Peter 2:11-12; Numbers 13:22, 28, 32-33; Joshua 15:13-14; 2 Timothy 1-6-7.

Zechariah 12:8-13:9 
The Spirit's Work of Repentance (March 9, 2003) 
Zane C. Hodges 
 
Zane examines the work of the Holy Spirit in the national repentance of Israel during the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. True and deeply felt repentance is always a work of God, whenever it occurs. All of us need the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts to produce the kind of spiritual repentance that God desires. The history of the nation of Israel is the history of the human heart written large. Other passages mentioned include: Matthew 26:31; 1 John 1:9; 2 Samuel 16:6-8; 1 Kings 22:5-9; John 20:24-29; John 1:10-11; Matthew 27:25; and Psalm 90:12.

The church needs faith, courage, kindness, compassion and courtesy. When we have the courage to speak up for God, it is amazing what God can do with our simple words. There may be a limit on what you can give to God financially, but there is no limit on kindness, compassion and courtesy to others. Other passages mentioned include: 1 Samuel 16:7; Ephesians 4:32; and 1 Peter 3:8.

The Uniqueness of the Christian Church 
Psalms 45 and Philippians 3:8-10 
Zane C. Hodges 
 
Was the new birth unknown before the day of Pentecost? Were Old Testament saints indwelt with the Holy Spirit? What is the distinction between the work of the Holy Spirit in regenerating people in giving them new life and the work of the Holy Spirit in baptizing them into the body of Christ? If the uniqueness of the Christian Church is not that we are born again, not that we are children of God, and not that we are God’s family, then what is it? The uniqueness of the Christian church is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, being baptized by the Holy Spirit, being members of the body of Christ, and being the bride of Christ. Believers in the church age have the special privilege of an intimate relationship with their Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
Other passages mentioned include: John 3:3, 10; John 7:39; John 14:17; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 5:30-32, Hebrews 1:8-9; Psalm 110:1; Revelation 6:2; Matthew 25:1-13; Mark 13:31; Colossians 3:1-4

1 Kings 6:1-13 
Solomon's Temple 
Zane C. Hodges 
Every Christian is a walking temple of God. As we look at this passage about Solomon’s temple in Jerusalem, we will learn principles that are applicable to ourselves, because we are a walking temple of God. God is concerned with small things, very frequently surprising us by bypassing big things to deal with small things. God works frequently and effectively through small groups and objects. We, as creatures, do not have the liberty to decide in what way we are to worship the Creator. We are to worship the Creator in spirit and in truth. When God made a temple out of us, He gave us everything, spiritually speaking, that we would ever need, to live for Him, to serve Him, to worship Him, and to honor Him. Silence in the presence of God is a very significant spiritual discipline that all of us need to cultivate. God’s children should know how to climb to get to His resources. Can people and God smell the Lord Jesus Christ in us? We need to re-double our commitment to God and to continue to be obedient to Him, so that we may experience His presence and that God may be at home in our lives, and then all the privileges and benefits of being a temple of God will be experienced by ourselves. Other passages discussed include: 1 Corinthians 6:19, Zechariah 4:6,9-10, John 4:20-24, Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3, Habakkuk 2:20, Psalm 46:10, Matthew 18:20, Ephesians 5:2, 2 Corinthians 2:14, and John 14:23.

Preparation for Comfort 
Zane C. Hodges (1980) 
Isaiah 40:1-5 and Luke 3:1-6, 10-14 
“Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God.”  What do you really know about the comfort of God?  Do you understand God’s comfort in your own life and are you able to share it with other people?  Our hearts and lives are not ready for the blessings with which God desires to comfort us until we know something about comforting other people in their need.  When God’s people pursue equity, honesty and kindness, then God’s glory can be seen in the midst of His people and other men will also see it there.  Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that God is looking for geniuses, orators or superstars, but what God is really looking for are people who have a genuine concern for the needs of other people, who are scrupulously honest, and who really know something about the art of kindness and consideration and gentleness towards all.  When God finds an individual like that, He can build the kind of life which can be filled with the blessings and mercies of God, which are the only true comfort of the human heart.  God is always eager to comfort His people if we are prepared to receive it.  Other passages mentioned include: 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, James 1:27, 1 John 3:17, Ephesians 4:32, Matthew 5:7, Philippians 4:5 and John 13:35.
