Romans 7 teaches that following Jesus isn’t about obeying God out of pressure — it’s about loving God out of freedom. Paul uses the picture of a marriage covenant to show that when we died with Christ, we were released from the law and united to Him in new life. Instead of producing a harvest of rebellion, our union with Jesus now produces a harvest of good fruit. This message explores the difference betwe...

Series: "The Epistle of Paul to the Romans" 

This world is divided by so much right now. We must remember that there is much which unites us as humans. We are all united by our sinful desires, but also in our need for a savior. To become united as God's people, we cannot be slaves to sin, but rather slaves to righteousness through Jesus Christ.

Series: "The Epistle of Paul to the Romans" 

Romans 6 is a call to live like the resurrection actually changed us. Paul reminds believers that sin’s power is broken — we’re no longer slaves, no longer controlled by what once ruled us. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, we have the freedom to live new lives, not by our own strength but by grace. Sanctification means dying to sin and coming alive to righteousness — a d...

Series: "The Epistle of Paul to the Romans" 

In Romans 5, Paul parallels the transgression of Adam with the obedience of Jesus, not to compare two humans, but to highlight a new form of humanity.  This new humanity has a new kind of life - not just longer, and not just sinless in a moral sense - but it shares in the abundant overflowing overjoying nature of God's own life.

Scripture:
Romans 5:12-21

Series: "The Epistle of Paul to the Romans" 

Life’s hardest moments aren’t wasted—they’re where God builds endurance, character, and hope. Romans 5 reminds us that even in pain, we have peace, purpose, and proof of God’s love through Jesus. You’re not just surviving the struggle—you’re being shaped by it.

Scripture:
Romans 5:1-11

This message addresses how followers of Jesus can process a week filled with tragedy, violence, and confusion. While culture spins stories and social media fuels division, Scripture reminds us that we are living in a spiritual battle far deeper than politics or headlines. The enemy is actively working to blind, divide, and derail—but Jesus remains victorious, sovereign, and present. In this sermon, we’ll look at how to view cultura...

We all face moments when identity struggles, unmet expectations, and anxiety seem unshakable—even after we’ve tried every “Christian” answer we know. The problem isn’t that Scripture isn’t enough; it’s that we sometimes use it like a band-aid instead of seeing the deeper truth it points to. In Exodus 3–4, God meets Moses in his insecurity, not by inflating his ego, but by shifting his focus from his own limitations to God’s suffici...

This week, we will be going over Romans 4:1-12, to better understand what Paul is saying in his thorough presentation of God's gospel in Christ Jesus. Paul describes Abraham's righteousness as not stemming from the works of the law (as the law hadn't been given to Israel at that point), but through belief in God (obedience, love, faith and trust). This would have been unfamiliar to many of the Jewish believers at the...

In a world where we're constantly trying to prove ourselves—morally, spiritually, even socially—Romans 3:19-31 offers good news: we can stop striving and start trusting. This passage confronts the futility of earning righteousness through the law and reveals the heart of the gospel—God makes us right with Him not through our performance, but through faith in Jesus. Whether you feel burdened by guilt or prideful in your goodnes...

In Romans 3:21-30 Paul says God's righteousness has been revealed. Jesus Christ has been put forward as the new mercy seat, establishing the sacred, tabernacling presence of God on planet earth once again and empowering the formation of a just community. This is no arbitrary venting of wrath - this is the restoration of the human vocation so that God's purposes can be fulfilled... and that is what we call justice.
