Does being a member of a local church matter? The Bible is not silent on this issue. In this week's sermon, Pastor Dave explores what the New Testament has to say about church membership.

Have you ever visited a church where you felt you didn't belong? Many churches can be cold and unwelcoming toward outsiders. However, Romans 16 shows us how the Gospel should impact our interactions with others. 

What does it mean to be a Christian? Your answer to this question is vital. 
Romans answers this question with the Gospel. In chapter 15, we learn how the Gospel impacts our lives through the example of Paul. Listen to Pastor Dave's sermon - "The Gospel in Everday Life": 

Why does the church have conflict? According to Scripture, strife comes from our sinful hearts. We love our pleasures and opinions more than God and others. In this week's message, Pastor Dave explains from Romans 15 that the Gospel is most clearly displayed in everyday life when Christians live in unity.

Christians disagree with one another. We all have different opinions, convictions, and values. However, the Church should have unity despite our differences. Romans 14 explains how the Gospel calls us to unity through love.

Society has an awful definition of love resulting in broken relationships and heartache. But the Gospel calls us to love like Jesus. Pastor Dave explains from Romans 13:8-14 how the Gospel affects our relationships. 

How are Christians supposed to interact with human government? The Gospel requires us to submit to and honor our governing leaders because  God has appointed them. Listen to what Romans 13 has to say about the Gospel and Government.

Living in a wicked culture that hates God is not a new thing. The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Romans in a hostile setting. In this week's message, Pastor Christian explains how the Gospel requires that we love like Christ in this evil world.

If we are to offer our whole lives as a sacrifice to God, then why are so many churches filled with consumers? Romans 12:3-8 teaches us that the local church is a place to give, not just to get. God has uniquely gifted every believer to serve Christ's church. Learn more in this week's message by Pastor Christian.

So what? The Apostle Paul has analyzed the Gospel of Jesus Christ for eleven chapters, but how does this truth change our daily lives? Pastor Christian explains from Romans 12:1-2 the necessary response to the Gospel.
