  1. God's Kindness and Our Need for Repentance

    1d ago

    God's Kindness and Our Need for Repentance

    In Romans 2:4–6, Paul confronts one of the most dangerous deceptions of the human heart: mistaking God's patience for His approval. Many assume that because judgment has not yet come, they must be safe. Yet God's kindness, forbearance, and patience are not signs of innocence, they are an invitation to repentance. This message exposes the false security of self-righteousness, the reality of storing up wrath through an unrepentant heart, and the certainty of God's righteous judgment. Ultimately, it points us to the only hope for sinners: Jesus Christ, who bore God's wrath and offers His perfect righteousness to all who repent and believe.

  2. The Trap Springs on the Moralist

    The Trap Springs on the Moralist

    In Romans 2:1–3, Paul turns from the openly immoral sinner to the respectable moralist. Those who condemn the sins of others often assume they stand in a safer position before God, yet Paul dismantles that illusion. Our judgments reveal that we know God's standards, leaving us without excuse before Him. God's judgment is not based on appearances, religious credentials, or comparisons with others, but according to truth. This sermon explores the futility of self-righteousness, the certainty of divine judgment, and the glorious hope found in Jesus Christ. The moralist's greatest need is not more morality but the perfect righteousness of Christ imputed to all who repent and believe. Scripture: Romans 2:1–3

    When God Gives Men Over

    What does it mean when Paul says, "God gave them over"? In this verse-by-verse exposition of Romans, we examine God's judgment against humanity's rebellion, the reality of total depravity, and the urgent need for the Gospel. This message calls believers to stand on the authority of Scripture while finding hope in Christ, the only refuge for sinners.

  4. Apart from Grace, Their Heart Is Our Heart | Romans 1:21–23

    May 25

    Apart from Grace, Their Heart Is Our Heart | Romans 1:21–23

    In this sermon from Romans 1:21–23, we reflect on the condition of the human heart apart from the grace of God. Paul shows how humanity, though knowing about God through His revelation, refused to honor Him or give thanks. The result was spiritual darkness, futile thinking, and idolatry. Yet this passage also humbles us, reminding us that apart from God’s grace, their heart is our heart. Join us as we consider the seriousness of sin, the danger of rejecting God’s truth, and our desperate need for the mercy and saving grace found in Jesus Christ.

  5. The Wrath We Deserve, the Grace We Need

    May 17

    The Wrath We Deserve, the Grace We Need

    In this sermon from Romans 1:18–20, we begin one of the most serious and foundational sections in Paul’s letter to the Romans. After revealing the righteousness of God in the Gospel, Paul now confronts humanity with the reality of God’s holy wrath against sin. What is the wrath of God? Why is it necessary? And why can humanity not claim ignorance before God? This message explores humanity’s suppression of divine truth, the clarity of God’s revelation in creation, and the universal guilt of mankind before a holy Creator. Yet this passage ultimately prepares us to see the beauty of the Gospel more clearly, because only when we understand the seriousness of sin and the justice of God can we truly treasure the grace revealed in Jesus Christ. At the cross, God’s wrath against sin and God’s love for sinners meet perfectly together. Text: Romans 1:18–20

  6. From Faith to Faith

    May 10

    From Faith to Faith

    In this sermon on Romans 1:15–17, we explore why Paul was unashamed of the gospel and why he called it “the power of God unto salvation.” This message unpacks the righteousness of God revealed through faith alone, the saving power of Christ, and what it means for believers to live “from faith to faith.” A call to stop trusting in ourselves and rest fully in the grace and righteousness of Christ.

    Romans 1:8-15 -Together in the Gospel: Strengthened by Mutual Faith

    In this sermon from Romans 1:8–15, we see that the Gospel does more than save individuals—it creates a people. The apostle Paul, though strong in faith and ministry, expresses a deep longing to be with the church. Why? Because God strengthens His people through the mutual encouragement of faith. Christianity is not a solo journey, it is a shared life, where believers build one another up through the truth of the Gospel. This message explores four key marks of a Gospel-shaped life: A genuine love for the churchA desire to strengthen others through the WordA commitment to mutual encouragementA sense of urgency and responsibility for the GospelIf you’ve ever been tempted to live the Christian life alone, this message will challenge and encourage you to rediscover the beauty and necessity of Gospel community. You were not saved to stand alone, you were saved to belong, to build, and to be built up

  8. Romans 1:7 - Blessed, equipped and ready to go!

    Romans 1:7 - Blessed, equipped and ready to go!

    In this message from Romans 1:7, we come to the final words of Paul’s introduction and discover a powerful truth about the Christian life: before we are called to do anything, we are first told who we are. Paul reminds the church that believers are loved by God, called to be saints, and living under grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. This sermon explores these truths through a Reformed, expositional lens, showing that our identity is rooted not in our performance, but in God’s sovereign love, effectual calling, and sustaining grace. As we understand who we are in Christ, we are not only blessed, we are equipped and ready to go, living lives of holiness and confidence, grounded in the Gospel.

  9. Romans 1:5-6 The Call that changes everything

    Romans 1:5-6 The Call that changes everything

    In this sermon from Romans 1:1–7 (focusing on verse 5 and 6), we see that the gospel of God does not merely inform us, it calls us. After unfolding the gospel as promised in the Scriptures and declared in power through the resurrection, and after establishing the weight of Christ’s Lordship and our identity as His servants, Paul now turns to us: “including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.” We will also see how this call produces the obedience of faith, for the sake of Christ’s name, among all nations, including us today.

  10. Romans 1:1 Belonging to Christ: Living Under His Lordship

    Apr 13

    Romans 1:1 Belonging to Christ: Living Under His Lordship

    Preached on April 12th, 2026, this sermon continues our journey through Romans by focusing on one central truth: Jesus Christ is Lord. In a world where “lord” often means little more than respect, Scripture presents something far greater, authority, ownership, and total allegiance. Looking at Romans 1:1–7, we see how Paul understood his identity as a servant (slave) of Christ, and how the resurrection declares Jesus’ rightful rule over our lives.. This episode invites you to wrestle with an important question: Are you simply calling Him Lord… or living under His Lordship?
