Pastor Chris delivers our final message in the book of Romans! In chapter 16, Paul concludes the letter by greeting gospel partners and identifying gospel opponents of the Church, and praising God for motivating the Church through the gospel.

Patrick Lewis helps us look at three important takeaways from Romans 6, 8 and 12 to remember and to pass on to others.

Because of God’s love for us, we are motivated to worship him through accepting one another, and participating in building his kingdom. “Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.” (Rom. 15:7).Click here to view / download today's sermon notes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YDkp_h6Keo81RD_MixvxuQWRmaY1-20o/view?usp=drive_link

One of the primary marks of Christian maturity is the ability to love people with whom we disagree. In Romans 14 and 15, Paul calls those who have experienced the grace of God to show it to others by refraining from passing judgement, laying down their freedom for the sake of others and graciously welcoming others.

Pastor Dave explores the relationship a Christian should have to the government and authorities from Romans 13.

We continue our series Onward Together with the sermon “Genuine Love in a Grace-Changed Church” from Romans 12:9-21.

Marvel with us as Pastor Dave explores the grafting in of Gentiles and Jews into the same vine from Romans 11:11-36.

Ruling Elder Dave Strausbaugh preaches the message “God's Grace and a Faithful Remnant” from Romans 11:1-10. "I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! ... God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew … So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.” (vv. 1-2, 5).

Romans 10 indicates three essentials to saving faith: preaching, hearing and sending. Pastor Dave continues our series Onward Together with the message, "Never Beyond Hope" (Romans 10:14-21) "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ" (Romans 10:17).

On this Easter Sunday, we celebrate the risen Lord – defender and friend to all who receive him, who believe in his name, who are welcomed into his family. 

Palm Sunday marks Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, six days before he was crucified. The crowd’s acclamation of Jesus with palm waving was a revolutionary event, signaling the purpose for which he came, creating a pattern of living for his followers and proclaiming great hope for the world.

God assures us of his love by applying Jesus’s past to our present, and his presence to our suffering. “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? ... For I am sure that neither death nor life ... will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom. 8:32, 38-39). 

In Romans 8:18-30, the apostle Paul focuses on the hope and glory believers have in Christ despite present sufferings. “For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies." (Romans 8:22-23).

The new way of the Spirit is to be born again and accepted into God’s family. “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." (Romans 8:14-16). 

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death." Join us as Pastor Dave shares from the beginning of Romans chapter 8 with the message, "Life in the Spirit: No Condemnation."
