Before you believed in Christ, you deserved the judgment of God for your sins. But, once you place your faith in Christ, who died to take the punishment for your sins, you’re no longer sentenced to that judgment. You’re no longer condemned to death. Today, Pastor John will explain how this forgiveness isn’t partial or conditional. It won’t expire or wear out. After forgiving you, God isn’t angry or holding a grudge. He sees you as His beloved child. You can’t lose Him. What an incredible truth this is!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 8 as he continues his message No Condemnation.

The apostle Paul has made it clear that we’re all sinners. We’re all wretched and frail. Yet, Paul didn’t end his letter with this despair. He described the hope of life in Christ. Today, Pastor John will explain the beautiful truth of our salvation. You’re no longer condemned for your sin if you have faith in Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross! You’re no longer destined for death and eternal separation from God; instead, you’re given eternal life with God in Heaven! God deeply loves you and completely forgives you!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 8 as he begins his message No Condemnation.

The apostle Paul taught that you’re saved by the grace of God through faith and not through obeying God’s law. Through His grace and mercy, God forgives sin and saves the sinner. Yet, it can be then wrongly taught you can dismiss God’s law and do what you like if you have faith because God will forgive you. Today, Pastor John will explain how important the law actually is because it reveals your sin and points to the life God desires of you. When you recognize your sin, then you can confess and live differently.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 7 as he continues his message Who Shall Deliver Me.

When you understand that you’re saved by the grace of God through trusting in Jesus, a miracle happens. God saves you! But you may think you must keep your salvation and make yourself holy like Jesus through good works. You vow to work hard and determine to be perfect. Yet, as Pastor John teaches today, in this, you’ve taken your eyes off of your Savior and put them on yourself, trying to do the impossible. Instead, focus on Jesus. Trust Him to fulfill His promise to change you and perfect you.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 7 as he begins his message Who Shall Deliver Me.

The false freedom sin offers people promises enjoyment and independence. Yet, the life the world promotes, the sin it endorses, is a relentless and ruthless master. Today, Pastor John teaches you that sin is empty and deceitful. It’ll never fulfill you. What comes from sin is fear, shame, and despair. Instead, when you trust Jesus as your master, you will find the freedom and joy you seek. Jesus is a good and kind master. And what He has for you is good. Give your life completely to Him.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 6 as he continues his message Whose Slave Are You.

The world will tell you that you’re free only when you get to do whatever you want and live however you want. However, as Pastor John explains today, willful choices are sinful, and sin leads to bondage. You’re never free from bondage to sin when you choose to live however you want. Sin and bondage lead you to death, despair, and separation from God forever. Instead, recognize that you’re now under Jesus - and bondage to Him is true, beautiful freedom. From this comes joy, hope, and eternal life with God.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 6 as he begins his message Whose Slave Are You.

God declares that the moment you believe in Him, you’re now free from the power of sin. But, sometimes, when you hear this, you could begin to despair because you still sin. Yet, as Pastor John teaches today, you’ll never reach the goal of perfect, holy sinlessness until you are with God in Heaven. But, your life begins to grow closer toward this holiness once you’ve placed your faith in Jesus. Day by day, with the Spirit in you, you become more like Him. You’ll begin to sin less and less as you grow in faith.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 6 as he continues his message Shall We Continue in Sin.

When you come to understand that you’re saved by grace alone through your faith in Jesus, and your good works mean nothing to your salvation, it can be tempting to then live however you want, relying on grace. Today, Pastor John will explain the apostle Paul’s rebuttal of this thought. He explains that if you’re truly saved by grace through faith, your life should now be different. You should begin to live a life that honors and glorifies God, not one that’s still full of sin and evil. You should daily desire to be like Jesus!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 6 as he begins his message Shall We Continue in Sin.

The United States is a special country. It was founded on the principles of God. And in many ways, God has blessed our country. Our systems of government, society, and family are based on Christian principles. Yet, as a nation, we’ve strayed from God’s design. We’re growing farther from God through our sins and rejection of Him. Pastor John will challenge each of us today to turn with our whole hearts back to the Lord. As a nation, we need to return to the Lord and His word.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Isaiah chapter 5 for his message One Nation, Under God?

Adam represents sin – sadly, that’s the narrative he’s best known for. Under this first man’s tenure, sin came into the world. Death came – injustice and hatred and evil. And all of that is experienced now by every human being forevermore. But Pastor John explains today how Jesus counteracts all of this. He came to be light in the world, to display love and justice, with humility and joy. He came to save those who were sinful – meaning, He came to save all of us! And all we need to do is believe!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 5 as he continues his message, Grace Abounding.
