This sermon tackles the theme of God's divine righteousness in contrast to human shortcomings. While we celebrate the 'Good News' of divine grace, the Apostle Paul reminds us that we can't fully appreciate this gift without first acknowledging our own imperfections. Much like the first step in a recovery program asks us to admit our flaws, admitting our shortcomings allows us to fully experience God's transformative grace. The Good News becomes truly Great News when viewed against the dark backdrop of our own failures.
