The impulse behind all our sin is the desire for a tangible deity. Deep within us is the need to worship, but because of our weakness, we want a God we can touch. The root of our trouble, in order words, is idolatry. If that's so, then what is the solution? “The Human Heart is a Factory of Idols" is the fifth sermon in a series on Romans 1-5 titled That Grace Might Reign: The Gospel from Adam to Christ. With Paul's epistle as our guide, we are exploring both the realities of sin and the ramifications of redemption. Visit us online at www.graceforsiouxfalls.org.

The way you see the problem always shapes your search for a solution. If unbelief is just a question of reason and willpower, then salvation doesn't need to go any deeper than that. But what if the problem is spiritual? What if there is much more evidence than we realize, only something prevents us from seeing it? “For Those Who Have Eyes to See" is the fourth sermon in a series on Romans 1-5 titled That Grace Might Reign: The Gospel from Adam to Christ. With Paul's epistle as our guide, we are exploring both the realities of sin and the ramifications of redemption. Visit us online at www.graceforsiouxfalls.org.

Israelite culture divided the world into two camps, Jews vs. Gentile. Hellenistic culture divided the world up, too: Greek vs. Barbarian. We do the same thing ourselves, us vs. them. But the Gospel declares that when it comes to sin -- and salvation -- we are all in this together. We are together in our condemnation, and there is only one way to be saved: Jesus Christ. “We Are All In This Together" is the third sermon in a series on Romans 1-5 titled That Grace Might Reign: The Gospel from Adam to Christ. With Paul's epistle as our guide, we are exploring both the realities of sin and the ramifications of redemption. Visit us online at www.graceforsiouxfalls.org.

When you're in Rome, it feels like the center of the world. But from the standpoint of Jerusalem, it's the ends of the earth. Paul was called to reach the Gentiles -- but not to think like them. There is plenty for us to learn from his longing for Rome. “The Gospel at the Ends of the Earth" is the second sermon in a series on Romans 1-5 titled That Grace Might Reign: The Gospel from Adam to Christ. With Paul's epistle as our guide, we are exploring both the realities of sin and the ramifications of redemption. Visit us online at www.graceforsiouxfalls.org.

The Epistle to the Romans is a companion for your pilgrimage. Like the Christians to whom this letter was first written, the work of the Spirit in our lives has far outstripped our understanding. The call to belong to Christ is a call to a new life, and this letter explains that life and how to live it. “The Call to Belong" is the first sermon in a series on Romans 1-5 titled That Grace Might Reign: The Gospel from Adam to Christ. With Paul's epistle as our guide, we are exploring both the realities of sin and the ramifications of redemption. Visit us online at www.graceforsiouxfalls.org.

The strangest thing about Christ's baptism is that he needs to be baptized at all. Those who think of baptism as a kind of sacred magic -- an act that washes away original sin or regenerates the heart -- face the challenge that, for sinless Jesus, it is a solution to a problem he does not have. Those who imagine that baptism has no efficacy at all, and is simply a metaphor symbolizing the inner change of the repentant believer, wonder why Jesus -- who never had to "repent and believe" -- would go through the motions of receiving such a sign. So, what does Christ's baptism mean? What can it teach us about our own? “To Fulfill All Righteousness" is a sermon on Matthew 3.15 and John 1.32-34 about Christ's baptism and what it signifies for those who have faith in him.
