Don't Believe in Vain - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Don't Believe in Vain - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

In this message from our Redemption series, Paul brings the church back to what is “of first importance.” The gospel is not just something we once believed — it is the daily ground we must stand on. Through 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, we are challenged to examine whether we are truly holding fast to Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection… or quietly building our confidence on performance, approval, control, or comfort. Many of us know the right words, yet our hearts often reveal we are living as if the resurrection doesn’t change everything. This sermon calls us to stop drifting and put our full weight on the gospel we received — because the same Christ who commands us to hold fast is the One who holds us fast by His grace.

Christ’s Triumph - Colossians 2:13-15

In this sermon from Colossians 2:13–15, we see the glorious victory of Christ at the cross. Though we were dead in our trespasses and separated from God, God made us alive together with Christ, forgiving all our sins and cancelling the record of debt that stood against us. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus not only paid our debt but also disarmed the rulers and authorities, putting Satan and the powers of darkness to open shame. Because Christ has triumphed, Christians do not need to live under condemnation, fear, or the lies of the enemy. Our hope is not in our ability to measure up, but in the finished work of Jesus. When we feel weak, guilty, or distant from God, we are called to look to the cross, run to Christ, and rest in His victory.

Justified by Faith - Romans 3:21-26

In Romans 3:21–26, we see the heart of the gospel: guilty sinners are justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We cannot earn the righteousness God requires, but in Christ, God provides it fully. At the cross, justice and mercy meet—our sin is judged, our debt is paid, and all who believe are declared righteous before God.

By Grace Alone - Ephesians 2:8-10

In this sermon on Ephesians 2:8–10, we see the heart of the gospel: salvation is entirely by God’s grace, received through faith, and not based on our works or performance. Paul reminds us that we have nothing to boast in except Christ, because salvation is God’s gift from beginning to end. But grace does not leave us unchanged. The same grace that saves us also makes us new, creating us in Christ Jesus for good works prepared by God. We are not saved by good works, but we are saved for good works.

The Immeasurable Riches of Grace - Ephesians 2:4-7

What does it mean to be saved by grace? In this sermon on Ephesians 2:4–7, we explore the powerful words, “But God…”—how God, rich in mercy and overflowing in love, makes spiritually dead sinners alive in Christ. Discover the beauty of salvation, the riches of God’s grace, and why all glory belongs to Him alone. We were dead in sin… but God raised us to new life through Jesus Christ.
