Descripción

Why do we keep doing the very things we hate? In Romans 7, Paul exposes the war within us: the struggle between our desire to obey God and the power of sin still at work in our flesh. The Law reveals our sin, but only Jesus can rescue us from it. This message explores the Christian’s battle against sin, (as well as a pre-conversion interpretation of Romans 7), the hope of the gospel, and why our cry of desperation can become a song of praise: “Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Jesus Changes Everything! Hope, Healing, and Resurrection Power

In this powerful message, we journey through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, exploring how He left the glory of heaven to bring the kingdom of God near to us here on earth. We see Jesus’ healing power, His call to follow Him with full commitment, and the hope He offers through His resurrection, which conquers death and promises eternal life. The sermon reminds us that Jesus willingly laid down His life for our sins and rose again, becoming the firstborn of many, and that through the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to live in readiness for His return. We are encouraged to store up treasures in heaven, remain connected to Jesus as the true vine, and live with hope and joy, knowing that one day all things will be made new in the new heaven and new earth. This message calls us to trust in God’s grace, embrace our identity as His handiwork, and stand boldly in the hope of the cross and the promise of eternal life.

Romans - Part 16 - Declare that Jesus is Lord

What happens when religious passion points us in the wrong direction? In this episode, we dive into Romans 10 to explore the tension between human effort and divine grace. While the religious leaders of Paul’s day had immense zeal for God, their focus on rule-keeping blinded them to the ultimate purpose of the Law: Jesus Christ. We unpack the powerful theological parallel between God’s sovereignty and our personal agency. Scripture is clear that we are chosen by God, yet we must also choose Him. Salvation is open to everyone who calls on the name of the Lord—requiring us to surrender our own attempts at righteousness and rely fully on Jesus. Finally, we look at the mechanics of evangelism and our responsibility to share the Gospel. Faith comes by hearing, and someone must be sent to speak. Are you ready to move past a dysfunctional, performance-based faith and choose to follow Jesus on His terms today?

Romans - Part 15 - God's Choice

In this episode of our Romans series, we dive into Chapter 9 to explore Paul’s deep anguish for his Jewish brothers and sisters who, despite their rich spiritual heritage, are missing salvation by trying to earn it through the Law. Just as physical descent from Abraham does not automatically guarantee inclusion in God's family, Paul reminds us that we cannot rely on a "Christian-by-default" identity or our own religious performance to save us. Salvation is entirely a work of God’s sovereign initiative, mercy, and grace—a truth that demands our deepest reverence. Ultimately, we are challenged to stop trying to navigate the spiritual map through our own exhausting efforts and instead place our absolute, humbling trust in Jesus, the true rock of our salvation who promises that anyone who relies on Him will never be disgraced.
