The Good News You Don't Want to Hear

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

Christian Lee (2026 June 21, Sunday, Storyline Church) What if the key to overcoming sin isn't focusing on rules or trying harder to be holy, but beholding the new identity Christ has granted you? The greatest challenge in the Christian life is not behaving and becoming a new person. It is believing God has already made you new and living in light of this new identity. Scripture: Romans 6:1-11 #Romans5 #storylineseoul #pastorchristianlee

When Grace Reigns

Erin Lee (2026 June 14, Sunday, Storyline Church) What comes to mind when you hear the word grace? Many of us think of grace as a pardon or a second chance when we've failed. While all of those are true, Romans 5 reveals that grace is far more than a moment of forgiveness or the event that brought us salvation. Discover what it means for God's grace to reign through righteousness in the lives of believers. Where sin increases, the word of God says that grace super abounds!

Another Adam

Christian Lee (2026 June 7, Sunday, Storyline Church) Why do we suffer the consequences of a decision we never made? Paul takes us back to Adam and reveals a truth that challenges our modern individualism: death entered the world through one man, the God-designated representative for humanity. Yet what initially sounds like bad news becomes the foundation of the gospel itself. If Adam's sin could bring condemnation and death to all, then Jesus Christ—the greater Adam—can bring justification and life to all who receive Him. Discover how the obedience of Christ is far greater than the failure of Adam and how this good news liberates us from our storylines of self-pity, despair and hopelessness we feel stuck in.

While We Were His Enemies

Christian Lee (2026 May 31, Sunday, Storyline Church) Many pastors today, some of them incredibly popular with millions of followers, refuse to say anything unpleasant about the sinful nature of humanity. It's mentioned in passing, “No one is perfect, we all sin and fall short.” The argument goes, “People are already so discouraged and beaten down in their lives, they do not need to be told they are sinful.” Romans 5:5-11 describes the love God has for us. Yet Paul’s teaching on the greatness of God’s love is placed against the black backdrop of human sin. In order to appreciate or even understand the greatness of God’s love, we must look at the evil nature of those whom God has set his love upon. Only against this contrasting background are we able to form a true picture of how great God’s love is. Scripture: Romans 5:5-11 #Romans5 #storylineseoul #pastorchristianlee

Boasting in Our Sufferings

Christian Lee (2026 May 24, Sunday, Storyline Church) Romans 5 confronts one of the hardest questions every Christian eventually faces: What happens to our faith when life falls apart? In this message, we explore how suffering does not diminish the benefits of justification by grace—it can actually deepen them. Paul shows us that pain can produce perseverance, character, and an unshakable hope when our confidence is rooted in Christ instead of ourselves. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of disappointment, grief, anxiety, or hardship, this message will help you see suffering through the lens of the gospel.
