What might change in your life if you truly believed you were already home in His love? We pray that as you listen, your heart awakens to the beauty of the place God has prepared for you to live—right here, right now—in His grace.

How can I know I am forgiven of my sins and right with God? In this inspiring message, Pastor Chris Schansberg shares how our forgiveness and acceptance by God are not based on what we do, but on our acceptance and trust in God’s Word.

How are we to see our sin, God’s grace, and our future in light of this? Don’t miss this impactful and thought-provoking message from Pastor Chris Schansberg. This sermon begins by facing the reality of our sinfulness and our inability to make ourselves right, then moves to the life-changing news that God has made a way through Jesus Christ. The gift of righteousness is not something we earn but something freely given, transforming the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Who God says we are—redeemed, forgiven, and free—is foundational to how we live out our faith each day.

Mercy only matters when you realize how much you need it. In this eye-opening message from Romans 2, part of our ongoing series through the book of Romans, Pastor Chris Schansberg challenges us to confront the quiet pride that can grow in religious hearts—especially when we forget our own desperate need for grace. He reminds us that knowing God’s truth doesn’t excuse us from judgment—it actually holds us more accountable. We’re warned against playing the role of judge while ignoring the mercy that saved us. What happens when we stop seeing ourselves through the lens of God’s kindness and start measuring others instead? What becomes possible when we return to a posture of gratitude and humility before God? This message will stir your heart to let go of spiritual superiority and remember the mercy that’s still sustaining you today.

But rather than leaving us in guilt or shame, God offers us something radical: righteousness by faith, freely given through Jesus. Discover how the cross, once a symbol of horror, becomes the ultimate display of love and victory. Be reminded that God's solution to our sin is not condemnation but a new life, empowered by grace and anchored in truth. Step into the joy and freedom of the Gospel that changes everything—even when it starts with the worst.
