What did the apostles believe about God's Law. Surely, the people who spent the most time with Jesus would know what Jesus taught and believed about the Law both prior to and after His death and resurrection. What did they teach about God's Law? Did they contradict one another, or did they believe the same thing? This week we take a look at the writings of Paul, Peter, James, John and Jude in an effort to understand what the apostles believed about the relationship between the Law and Salvation. We will compare their teachings with the teachings of many churches today.

Is there a role the law still plays? What did Paul mean when he said that sin takes advantage of the law? We explore these questions in this week's study.

What is the difference between God's Law and Christ's Law? Does Christ's Law trump the law of God? Are Christians under a completely different set of rules today, rather than God's Ten Commandments?

This week we explore the relationship between God's Law and Christ's Law. We will also clear up common misconceptions held by many today in regard to the binding nature of God's Law.

What does the Bible mean when it says that Christ is the "end" of the Law? Is the Law done away with? Is it still binding on Christians today? What was the purpose of Jesus' mission?

This week we tackle these questions that may shed light on some things that many have wondered about.

In this week's study we explore an unfamiliar aspect of the sermon on the mount. Jesus had a lot to say about law. But was He for or against it?

This week we'll explore how Jesus put the law in it's proper place.

There are many different traditions that exist in our world today. What is the relationship between faith and tradition? Does tradition always contradict faith? How did Jesus feel about tradition?
