The Book of Romans 5:1-5

In this week’s sermon, we continue our journey through Romans by looking at Romans 5:1 to 5. Paul begins with the good news that, because we have been justified through faith, we now have peace with God through Jesus Christ. That peace changes how we understand everything else, including suffering. In this passage, Paul gives us a progression that is both difficult and deeply hopeful. Suffering produces perseverance. Perseverance produces character. Character produces hope. None of us naturally want suffering, and Scripture does not ask us to pretend pain is good. But Paul shows us that, for those who belong to Christ, suffering does not have to be wasted. This message looks at the different ways suffering enters our lives, how God can use suffering to build endurance and character, and why Christian hope is stronger than our circumstances. Our hope is not just that things may get better someday. Our hope is that God is with us now, and Christ will one day make all things new. So as you listen, consider where you may be in that process. Are you suffering? Are you persevering? Is God shaping your character? Are you learning to hold onto hope? Romans 5 reminds us that because of Jesus, hope does not put us to shame.

The Book of Romans: Chapter 4

Welcome to the Celina First sermon podcast. Today we continue our walk through Romans with Romans 4, where Paul points back to Abraham to show that salvation by faith is not a new idea. God has always made people right with Himself by faith, and righteousness is credited, not achieved. In this message, we look at why that matters for both the original Roman church and for us today. Faith is not just mental agreement. Real faith receives the gift of grace and then walks with the God who gives life. Here is this week’s message from Romans 4.

The Book of Romans 3:21-31

This week in Romans 3:21–31 we arrived at the heart of the gospel message. After spending several chapters showing that all people have sinned and fall short of God’s standard, Paul now points us to the cure found in Jesus Christ. In this sermon we walk through what the cross actually accomplished. Christ redeemed us from sin and death, offered salvation freely by grace, and atoned for our sins through His sacrifice on the cross. We also looked at how the cross satisfied God’s justice, revealed Jesus as the only path to salvation, and removed every reason for human boasting. The gospel is not about earning our way to God. It is about trusting what Christ has already done for us. The diagnosis was worse than we thought, but thanks be to God, the cure was greater than we imagined.

The Book of Roman 3:1-24

Welcome to the Celina First podcast. This week we continue our verse by verse walk through the book of Romans as we come to one of the most important truths in the entire Christian faith: all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. In Romans 3, Paul brings both the “good kids” and the obvious sinners into the same boat. Religious people, irreligious people, moral people, broken people, all stand in need of the same Savior. But this passage is not meant to leave us hopeless. It is meant to help us understand just how powerful and beautiful the Gospel really is. In today’s message we wrestle with the universality of sin, the danger of pride, the purpose of God’s Word, and the incredible grace freely offered through Jesus Christ.

The Book of Romans Chapter 2

This week’s message continues our walk through the book of Romans as we move into chapter 2. After looking at the brokenness of culture in chapter 1, Paul turns the focus inward and addresses those who know the truth but are not always living it out. In this sermon, we explore how knowledge of the gospel was never meant to produce pride or judgment, but obedience, humility, and a deep gratitude for God’s grace. It is a direct and honest look at the tension between knowing better and actually doing better. If you have ever wrestled with that gap in your own life, this message will meet you there and point you forward to the hope we will see more clearly in the weeks ahead.

The Book of Romans 1:16-32

Welcome to the sermon podcast of Celina First Church of God. This week we continue through Romans by looking at Paul’s argument in Romans 1:16–32. Paul declares that the gospel is powerful enough to save both Jew and Gentile, then explains how the brokenness of culture can actually be evidence of God giving people over to their own desires. We also address why this passage speaks about sexual sin alongside envy, greed, gossip, and pride, and why the answer to every form of bondage is still the same: the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thanks for listening.
