Jesus fulfilled the law’s impossible task, freeing us from condemnation. This truth is essential for leading spirit-directed lives. The Spirit gives us life and direction, enabling us to join God’s family. As adopted children, we enjoy security, intimacy, and God’s presence. Now, we are called to carry on our Father’s mission.  Key Verses: Romans 8:1, 11-17

In Romans, Paul has been building a case for real lasting life change to happen for the followers of Jesus. He is proclaiming the Good News of a free mercy offered through Jesus that can lead to renewal on this earth and an eternity spent with Him. Yet, within this message of hope there is also a warning to not trust in our own abilities to keep doing good. We are split creatures, full of desires to do good and desires to do evil. Jesus is then the only answer in this world and it is the promise of His indwelling Spirit that gives us hope.   Key Verses: Romans 7:14-25

If God gives us unlimited grace, does it really matter how we live? In this sermon, we see how grace challenges us to leave our former sinful ways and to embrace a new, deeper freedom in God’s free gift of love. Key Verses: Romans 6:15-23

This week, we will continue our study in the book of Romans by taking a closer look at the peace with God that is available to us through the work of Jesus Christ. Christ died for us while we were still sinners, so anyone who puts their faith in Jesus is no longer under God’s condemnation. This truth ushers in the reality of peace with God, which leads us to experience joy: in our waiting, in our trials, and in our relationship with God.  Key Verses: Romans 5:1-11

Paul focuses most of his message to the Romans on the gospel. He explains the gospel, who it is for, and how it should change everything about us. We tend to think we know the gospel and then, in turn, miss the mysteries that it reveals for us. The gospel is meant to be the good news that becomes our eternal meditation. Every day, we should meditate on the gospel and allow it to transform how we see God, ourselves, and our purpose in life. Reflect today on the gospel and what it shows us about God, ourselves, and our purpose in life. Key Verses: Romans 3:21-31

The Bible makes an astounding claim: no one is righteous — not one. What does this mean? How can we accept this truth about the world and ourselves? In this sermon, we explore how Paul shows us what it means to believe this key insight into our lives, and the the hope that we have in Jesus. Key Verses: Romans 3:9-20

How do we have a right relationship with God? Paul tells us that it does not come from being perfect or from coming from the right circumstances, but instead because of a changed heart. In this sermon, we look at why we need our hearts to be changed, how God does it, and what he gives us through his process of changing us. Key Verses: Romans 2:25-29

As Paul builds the case for the Good News of Jesus being available to everyone, he points his readers towards the righteous judgement of God. God will come to bring justice and none can excuse themselves from his judgement; neither the morally corrupt or the self-righteous rule followers. Our only hope for repentance comes when we are drawn towards God because of his wonderful kindness, tolerance, and patience. His kindness towards sinners shows itself through his retraint and patience.

As Paul begins his argument for our need of God’s salvation, he tells us an uncomfortable truth: that we have no excuses for not being aware of who God is. In this sermon, we look at how God sends each of us a message of his presence, why we often ignore it, and how he responds. Key Verses: Romans 1:18-23

Paul’s letter to the church in Rome, written thousands of years ago, still stands as the fullest exploration of what it means to be saved by God’s grace. In this sermon, we begin our series in this letter by looking at what Paul teaches about grace and the power it can bring into our lives today.  Key Verses: Romans 1:1-5, 16-17

Paul calls us to imitate Christ in all we do. This is a lifelong call that all Christians should regularly be living for, but one of the places we miss in how to accomplish this is in righteous play. Living for Christ and reflecting Him in our lives should involve the regular work of righteous play. In this sermon, we look at why God values play in His kingdom and how we can begin to imitate Christ through the work of righteous play. Key Verses: Ephesians 5:1-16
