Join us as Pastor McNair continues our series through the book of Romans.

This powerful exploration of Romans 8 invites us into one of the most liberating truths of the Christian faith: there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. When we truly experience God's grace, we don't exploit it; we respond to it with gratitude and a changed life. The core teaching walks us through the intersection of guilt and grace, showing how Christ didn't just forgive our sins but actually transferred us from one jurisdiction to another. We no longer live under the law of condemnation but under the rule of grace. What makes this message particularly compelling is its emphasis on the Holy Spirit as the down payment of our future resurrection life—we're not waiting for heaven to experience God's power; the Spirit is actively working in us now. The distinction between living according to the flesh versus living according to the Spirit challenges us to examine what truly drives our daily decisions. Are we consumed with self-promotion and comfort like the world, or are we kingdom-minded, living with the awareness that we belong to God's covenant family? This isn't about earning our salvation through good works; it's about living worthy of the grace that has already reached us. The intimate language of calling God 'Abba' or 'Papa' reminds us that we're not just forgiven criminals but adopted children with full access to our Heavenly Father. When life feels chaotic, we're encouraged to shift our perspective and recognize that God is building something beautiful in us, even when we can't see the finished product yet.

This powerful exploration of Romans 7 confronts a universal truth we all experience: the internal war between who we want to be and who we actually are. We've all been there—making resolutions to pray more, be more patient, eat healthier, control our anger—only to find ourselves back at square one within days. It feels like two people live inside us: one who loves God and one who sabotages every good intention. The Apostle Paul doesn't shy away from this reality. In a raw moment of honesty, he confesses: 'I don't really understand myself. I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate.' This isn't Paul at his worst; this is Paul at his most transparent. The message here is liberating: if we're struggling, that struggle itself is proof that grace is working in our lives. The law reveals our sin like an X-ray shows a broken bone, but it has no power to heal us. Only Jesus can break sin's power. We discover that we're not fighting for victory because Jesus already won it. We're fighting from a position of victory, standing in His righteousness. The breakthrough comes in Romans 8:1: 'There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' This means no accusation and no punishment waiting, none, not any, never. We're completely free to live for Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit, no longer enslaved to guilt but walking in the freedom of grace.

This powerful exploration of Romans 6 challenges us to move beyond the surface understanding that 'God loves me just the way I am' to embrace a deeper truth: God loves us too much to leave us where we are. While grace begins with acceptance—meeting us in our brokenness and sin—it doesn't end there. The message unpacks how God's grace isn't merely about forgiveness; it's about transformation. Using the Exodus story as a framework, we're reminded that just as Israel passed through the Red Sea leaving slavery behind to become a new nation, our baptism symbolizes our passage from death to life, from slavery to sin to freedom in Christ. The central question becomes: who owns us now? If we truly belong to Jesus, we're no longer slaves to our old master—sin no longer has authority over our lives. This isn't about rule-keeping or earning God's favor, nor is it permission to abuse grace by continuing in sin. Instead, it's about recognizing that the Holy Spirit now empowers us to actually want to obey God, to live differently, to answer a higher calling. The resurrection life isn't just a future promise—it's breaking into our present reality right now, inviting us to step into newness of life and live with the freedom and dignity that grace provides.

Join us as Pastor Herrell continues our series through Romans and teaches on what it means to be part of God's family.

In this powerful exploration of Romans 4, Pastor Herrell delves into the true meaning of God's covenant family. The central message revolves around Abraham's faith and how it defines our spiritual lineage. We learn that it's not bloodlines, rituals, or ethnicity that make us part of God's family, but our faith in Him. This revelation challenges us to rethink our understanding of who truly belongs to God's people. The beautiful truth is that anyone who believes, regardless of background, is welcomed into this global family of faith. We're encouraged to see ourselves as part of a grand story that began with Abraham and continues through us today. This perspective transforms how we view our place in God's plan and inspires us to live out our faith boldly, knowing we're part of something far greater than we often realize.

Join us as Pastor Herrell introduces our new series through the book of Romans.

In our exploration of 2 Corinthians, we uncover a profound truth: God's power is most active in our weakness. This paradoxical insight challenges our worldly notions of strength and success. The Apostle Paul's 'thorn in the flesh' becomes a powerful metaphor for our own struggles and limitations. Yet, it's precisely in these moments of vulnerability that we experience God's grace most profoundly. This message encourages us to embrace our weaknesses, not as failures, but as opportunities for God's strength to shine through. As we face our own 'thorns,' whether they be physical ailments, emotional struggles, or spiritual battles, we're reminded that these challenges don't disqualify us from serving God. Instead, they become the very stage where His power is displayed. This perspective shift invites us to reexamine our lives, asking whether we're seeking comfort and ease or truly following in Christ's footsteps of sacrificial love and service.

In life's unexpected journeys, Pastor Hadley reminded us of the power of faith, hope, and love. This message explores how to navigate paths we didn't choose, drawing inspiration from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. We're challenged to rejoice always and give thanks in everything, even amidst pain and loss. The resurrection of Christ stands as our cornerstone, offering a living hope that sustains us through life's darkest valleys. As we face our own unexpected moments, we're encouraged to know deeply who God is, to lean on our faith community, and to rest assured in our eternal destination. Through it all, we learn to trust in Jesus and depend on His word, finding strength in the promise that God's love endures forever.
