The letter of Romans strengthened the ancient church, brought reformation to the dark ages, has brought hope for 2000 years, and can change your life!

This week Pastor Joel continues his message series, Romans Bold Faith That Saves. We look at why is Jesus such a big deal, and why is the cross and Jesus’ resurrection the only way? Absolutely nothing about your relationship with God is earned, none is credited to your effort. Absolutely everything about your relationship with God is because of Jesus own righteous perfection in your place and through your life!

This is a special four part series that will span the year of 2025.

This week Pastor Joel continues his message series, Romans Bold Faith That Saves. Love rejoices in the truth. We've already heard about the power of the gospel and how Paul was changed by it. But the next two weeks, love is going to demonstrate for us the dire need that every human being that has or ever will live has for this story. Moreover, for this person, the Lord Jesus. Wrapped in God’s love, we have what the Bible would refer to as a spiritual disease described in this term that we have used so much now that it's almost lost all of its meaning, that we are sinners. This is a special four part series that will span the year of 2025.
