The common view today is that most of us are basically good, and unless you’re very bad, we’ll all eventually get to heaven. Yet, as Pastor John will teach you today, we’re all sinners and condemned to judgment. We can’t save ourselves with good deeds or moral behavior. We need to be rescued. And as unpleasant as it is, it’s essential to speak of sin. Understanding we’re under God’s judgment and need Jesus is essential. It was the reason He came and died on the cross. Faith in Him saves you from deserved judgment.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 1 as he begins his message The Heathen Without Excuse.

Do you ever hesitate to share the gospel of Christ with others out of fear or worry about their reaction? Do you wonder if your friends or loved ones will abandon you when they hear the good news? Well, today, Pastor John will challenge you to be bold about the truth. Don’t be ashamed of the gospel. Don’t be ashamed of Jesus! He offers forgiveness, salvation, peace, and abundant life. The gospel really is good news. Everyone ought to know about it! Be courageous and bold today!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 1 as he continues his message The Good News.

Sometimes, it can be easy to receive salvation through faith in Jesus and then coast through life knowing you’re saved. Yet, there is so much more to your new life than that. Today, Pastor John will challenge you to recognize that, as a saved believer, you should long for others to know and love and be saved by Jesus as well. Share the good news of the gospel with others in your life. Don’t hide the gospel in your life. Live it out in your life and share it with anyone and everyone you can as often as you can.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 1 as he begins his message The Good News.

The apostle Paul had a servant’s heart. He was humble, thankful, prayerful, and obedient. That’s the markings of a true servant of God. Today, Pastor John will encourage you to look at Paul’s life and seek to emulate him as he lived out God’s call on his life. He served God from his heart, not because he felt obligated to. He was incredibly thankful to God for leading him in this life.  He prayed often and sought God’s direction and help. And he was willing to do hard work to build up believers and glorify God.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 1 as he continues his message A Pastor’s Heart.

Do you ever wonder what God’s will is for your life? If, by God’s grace, you’re a believer in Him, then God has a call, plan, and purpose for your life. Today, Pastor John will explain how, like the apostle Paul, God gives spiritual gifts to His children, calls each to a particular life, and equips and enables each one to live as He wills. There’s no better life than that! If you don’t know yet what God’s will and call are for your life, seek Him in earnest prayer and just start serving Him and see where He leads you.
