After all the guilt, brokenness, and human striving laid out in the first chapters of Romans, Romans 3:21-24 brings a breathtaking shift: “But now…”

This episode is all about that turning point—where God steps in with grace, not based on our performance but on Christ’s finished work. We are made right with God, not by earning, but by believing.

Tune in as we explore how grace changes everything—our identity, our standing, and our future.

The law was never meant to be the end—it was meant to reveal God’s heart. In this episode, we unpack Romans 2:17-23and explore how the law given to Moses was intended to show the Jews how to live in relationship with God and reflect His character.

But rules alone couldn’t transform hearts. Without inner change, they were left with outward obedience but no inward renewal.

This episode reminds us: God is still after your heart. Not just your behavior, but deep, Spirit-led transformation from the inside out.

When we build our identity on religious performance or outward appearance, we risk missing the very heart of the gospel. In Romans 2:17-23, Paul exposes an identity crisis—where people boast in knowing God but dishonor Him in how they live.

This episode calls us to examine where we truly place our confidence. Is it in what we do for God—or who we are in Christ?

Join us as we uncover the dangers of misplaced identity and the invitation to root our lives in the truth of the gospel.

Rituals, labels, and appearances can never substitute for a transformed heart. In Romans 2:25-29, Paul shifts the focus from outward religion to inward reality, reminding us that true belonging in God’s family is marked by a circumcision of the heart, done by the Spirit—not by the letter of the law.

This episode challenges us to examine our faith beyond surface-level practices and ask: Is my heart truly set apart for God?

Tune in as Pastor Jesse helps us uncover why, with God, the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart.

Knowing the truth isn’t enough—living it is what matters. In Romans 2:17-23, Paul confronts the danger of relying on religious identity while living in contradiction to God’s ways. It’s a warning against hypocrisy—when we teach others but fail to examine our own hearts.

This episode invites us to ask: Am I trusting in my knowledge of God, or am I truly walking in His truth?

Tune in as we explore how to escape the trap of hypocrisy and pursue a life of authentic faith and integrity.

This Easter Sunday, we celebrate the risen King—the One who doesn’t just rule the universe, but reigns in the hearts of those who believe. In Romans 10:9-11, Paul lays it out clearly: "If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord... you will be saved."

Salvation isn’t earned—it’s received through a heart that believes and a mouth that declares Jesus as King of Hearts.

Join us this Resurrection Sunday as we remember the victory of Jesus and what it means to trust Him with your whole heart.

God’s judgment is not based on appearances, background, or status—but on the truth of our hearts and actions. In this episode, we dive into Romans 2:5-16, where Paul introduces God as the impartial judge who sees beyond what we do to why we do it.

Whether Jew or Gentile, insider or outsider, no one is exempt. The real question is: What is the condition of your heart?

Join us as we explore what it means to live with integrity before the God who judges justly—and graciously.

In this episode, we step into Romans 2:1–4—where the apostle Paul turns the mirror on the moralist and religious person. After exposing the brokenness of the world in Romans 1, Paul now reveals that comparison won’t save us, and religion without repentance will not heal us.This is where the gospel becomes personal.This is where grace invites us not just to clean behavior, but to return with the heart.“Do you not know that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?” — Romans 2:4About The Series: The Roman RoadThis teaching journey through the book of Romans explores the gospel in its deepest clarity and power—exposing sin, exalting grace, and calling us to live by faith.The Heart of the Matter (Romans 2:1–29) confronts the illusions of external righteousness and leads us to real, Spirit-led transformation.Subscribe, comment, and join the journey on The Roman Road.

After 11 powerful episodes walking through Romans 1, we pause to reflect, respond, and wrestle with what it all means. What is the gospel—and why did Paul say he was unashamed of it? In this special recap and conversation, we revisit the key themes of Romans 1 and respond to real questions from our church family. From God’s righteousness to human rebellion, from faith to formation—this is the gospel that changes everything.

What would life look like without God? In a society that seeks to define itself apart from Him, the result is moral collapse, brokenness, and even death. Romans 1:28-32 reveals the consequences of a world that rejects God—where minds are darkened, and hearts are hardened.

But the real problem isn’t just society—it’s the human heart. The solution? Delighting in the Lord and restoring a deep reverence for God. Only then can we see ourselves as He sees us and live on mission to bring others back to Him.

Join us as we uncover the dangers of a world without God and the call to revival.
