Pastor Marshall Ochs | April 5, 2026

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 14. In this chapter, Paul teaches that believers will have differing convictions on non-essential issues, and these differences should not lead to judgment or division, but to mutual respect shaped by faith. Each person must act according to their conscience, as violating it is considered sin, while also seeking not to cause others to stumble. Ultimately, this posture is grounded in the truth of the resurrection—Jesus alone is Lord, and every believer answers to Him, not to one another.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 13. In this chapter, Paul teaches that a Christian’s outward life should be marked by willingly submitting to governing authorities as an act of submission to God, while still prioritizing obedience to Christ above all. It emphasizes that believers carry an ongoing “debt” of love toward others, fulfilling God’s law through love rather than obligation. Finally, Paul urges Christians to live with urgency in light of Christ’s return—“putting on Christ” and rejecting sinful behavior so that their actions align with their identity in Him.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 12. In this chapter, Paul transitions from deep theology to practical application, urging believers to live as “living sacrifices” by allowing God to transform them from the inside out rather than conforming to the world. This transformation is expressed through using spiritual gifts to serve others and through a life marked by genuine love, humility, perseverance, and even kindness toward enemies. Ultimately, Paul emphasizes that true worship is a Spirit-led life that reflects God’s love in everyday actions.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 11. In this chapter, Paul explains that God has not rejected Israel. A faithful remnant of believing Jews still exists, just as it has throughout history. Paul teaches that Israel’s unbelief opened the door for Gentiles to receive the Gospel, and God will ultimately use Gentile faith to stir many Jews to believe in Christ as part of His larger redemptive plan. The chapter concludes by emphasizing God’s sovereign control over history and calling believers to respond to His wisdom and mercy with humble worship.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 10. In this chapter, Paul explains that God’s promises to Israel have not failed; rather, salvation has always been based on faith, not ethnic identity or good works. Paul grieves that many Jews have rejected the Gospel even though God made His word clear and near to them, while Gentiles are coming to faith because the message is being preached and believed. The chapter emphasizes that salvation comes through hearing and believing the gospel and calls believers to pray for the lost and participate in sharing the message of Christ.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 9. In this chapter, Paul starts by expressing deep sorrow over Israel’s unbelief and clarifies that God’s promises have not failed, because “true Israel” has always been defined by faith rather than ethnicity. Paul explains that God chooses nations, individuals, and roles for His purposes in history, but people are responsible for how they respond in faith. Ultimately, salvation is not about heritage but belief—anyone, Jew or Gentile, who trusts in Jesus is part of God’s true people and will not be put to shame.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 8. In this chapter, Paul contrasts the frustration of life under the law in Romans 7 with the freedom and new life found in Christ through the Holy Spirit, who dwells in believers and enables them to walk in obedience. Paul explains that believers are no longer slaves to sin but adopted children of God, called to live by the Spirit, persevere through suffering, and trust that present pain cannot compare to future glory. The chapter culminates in the assurance that God is working all things for His purposes and that nothing can separate believers from the love of Christ.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 7. In this chapter, Paul teaches that believers are no longer bound to the law but are made alive in Christ, moving from slavery to sin and death into freedom through the Spirit. Paul explains that the law itself is good but exposes and even provokes sin, revealing humanity’s need for Jesus to bring true freedom and power to obey. The chapter concludes by emphasizing that Christians now live under the “law of Christ”—loving God and others—and are empowered by the Spirit rather than trapped in the cycle of sin.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 6. In this chapter, Paul teaches that God’s grace is not permission to continue sinning but the power to live a new life, because believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection and are therefore “dead to sin” and alive to God. Paul explains that Christians are no longer slaves to sin but are now called to live in obedience and righteousness, using the truth of their identity in Christ—especially verses like Romans 6:11—as a practical weapon against temptation.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | February 1, 2026

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 5. In this chapter, Paul explains the results of being justified by faith: believers now have peace with God, access to sustaining grace, hope, and a new purpose even in suffering, all made possible through Christ’s saving work while we were still sinners. Paul highlights reconciliation as the greatest outcome—full restoration to God—and contrasts Adam’s disobedience, which brought death, with Christ’s obedience, which brings life and righteousness. Christ’s work calls all believers to live a new life that reflects this gift.
