Every one of us feels it at some point: the sinking weight of failure. Falling short of what we know God desires. Falling short of who we want to be. That quiet sense of condemnation can creep in and pull us down.

But praise God… the apostle Paul knew that struggle too.

In the opening chapters of Romans, Paul writes a Spirit inspired declaration that has brought hope to millions across the centuries:

“There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

What a statement.

What a promise.

What a life altering truth.

In this powerful message, Pastor John Grams walks us through the depth and beauty of this incredible verse and reminds us of the grace that has been fully secured through Jesus Christ. Because of Him, the accusations against us no longer have the final word.

If you have ever wrestled with guilt, shame, or the fear that you are not enough, this message will encourage and strengthen your faith as we explore the freedom found in Christ and the life changing reality of "No Condemnation"

We are a Bible-Based, Jesus Only small community church located in rural South-East Minnesota. Our building was originally constructed in 1861 and is the oldest protestant church building in continuous use in our county.

Many people have come and gone throughout the generations, but our goal will always remain: To Serve Jesus only, and learn from His Living Word, the Scriptures.

Our small church body are all admittedly sinners, that openly strive to improve our walk daily, but also understand that we are Redeemed by the shed blood of Christ Jesus and declared innocent in God’s eyes due to Grace Alone!

There is no act of baptism, charity or observation of communion that deems us worthy. No amount of following the law of Moses, or the ever-popular observation of legalism in many churches today that will save us. That is us believing in ourselves, rather than what Christ did for us completely.

If you struggle with understanding the concept of salvation or are plagued by false teachings of following traditions rather than Christ alone, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to help!

Please watch our archive of messages on a variety of topics. Please like and share our content with others that can benefit from what God has inspired our array of speakers to bring to the body.

Most importantly, be sure you are secure in your relationship with God and Christ Jesus. It is so simple. Do not wait. Tomorrow may be too late…
