Romans 2:17-3:8 Part 2

In his letter to the Romans, Paul was adamant about our position in Christ - that we are saved by grace and grace alone. He declared that our status here on earth - social or otherwise - has absolutely no bearing on our position in heaven. This was a hard lesson for the Jews to grasp, as they were taught to regard their status as higher than the lowly Gentiles around them.

Romans 2:1-16 Part 2

Maybe you’ve noticed, we’re pretty good at making excuses to justify our bad behavior. But we’re all too quick to come down hard on others who do the very same thing.

Pastor Matt VanerVen is in the early stages of a new series in Romans. And it’s been emphasizing that we’re made right with God by faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
