  • The Remnant in the Book of Romans

    This episode explores the movement from a personal faith experience to a corporate calling—how God’s “election” isn’t about privilege, but purpose and mission.

    From caring for our own burdens to embracing a mission for our communities and the world, the message highlights the biblical concept of the remnant and the church’s role in proclaiming the powerful, hope-filled gospel.

    Through real-life stories of transformation, it reminds us that the good news of Jesus is meant to be lived, shared, and embodied in authentic, compassionate community.

  • Condemnation in the Book of Romans

    Romans 7 pulls back the curtain on the Christian life in a way that’s uncomfortable—but honest. It speaks to the tension, frustration, and disappointment that come even after surrendering your life to Jesus. The desire to do right is there… but so is the struggle.

    In this message, we walk through Paul’s personal battle and discover that this isn’t the story of a godless person—but of a surrendered believer caught in the middle of a real conflict. From the echoes of Genesis to the voice of the accuser, we unpack the difference between conviction and condemnation, and why the struggle itself points us back to our need for Christ.

    But the story doesn’t end in Romans 7.

    Because in Romans 8, the gospel breaks through with powerful clarity: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” No matter the frustration, the failure, or the internal battle—you are not condemned. God condemns sin, not you.

    This message is a reminder that while the fight is ongoing, so is God’s grace—and in Christ, there is cleansing, victory, and hope.

  • An Introduction to Romans 7

    This episode dives into the raw tension of the Christian life through Romans 7, where Paul honestly wrestles with the struggle between old habits and new life in Christ.

    It acknowledges the frustration, discouragement, and inner conflict that often accompany spiritual growth—but doesn’t leave us there. Anchored in Romans 7:25 and the beauty of grace (charis), the message reminds us that our response to God’s grace is gratitude, dependence, and continual surrender—because where sin abounds, grace abounds even more.

    Transformation is possible, but it comes with struggle—so lean into grace.

  • Holiness and Sanctification in the Book of Romans

    This message explores what it truly means to live a “new life” in Christ—not as a checklist of external behaviors, but as a Spirit-led transformation of the heart, mind, and body.

    It challenges the misuse of terms like holiness and sanctification when they become tools for comparison, judgment, or spiritual pride, and instead reframes them as a relational, ongoing process rooted in love, sincerity, and alignment with God.

    Grounded in Romans 6, the sermon calls believers to pursue righteousness expressed through healthy relationships, peace, and joy—emphasizing transformation over performance.

  • The Old Self in the Book of Romans

    This episode walks through Romans chapters 5–7, showing how faith is the key that gives us access to a transformed life.

    Using powerful metaphors—baptism as death and resurrection, the old self versus the new, crucifixion of the sinful nature, and slavery to sin—Paul paints a picture of what life looks like after surrendering to Christ.

    The focus shifts from mind to body, calling believers to “reckon” themselves dead to sin, reclaim control through Christ, and live in righteousness, not self-righteousness.

    Ultimately, this message is about reversal—where sin once ruled, Jesus restores order, renews the mind, and empowers a new way of living. It’s a call to honesty, humility, and hope: though we’ve fallen, we are forgiven, redeemed, and given new life through grace. Salvation isn’t something we fully solve—it’s something we receive by faith, saying yes to Jesus again.

  • Faith in the Book of Romans

    Is there a contradiction between the law and the cross of Christ?

    In this episode, we explore the “healthy tension” Paul presents in Romans: salvation is by grace through faith alone, yet obedience still matters. Far from canceling the law, faith establishes it, revealing a dynamic relationship between belief, trust, and action.

    We unpack what faith really means—more than intellectual assent, it’s a growing trust in God built over time through experience, much like any relationship. From Abraham’s example to everyday illustrations of trust, this message challenges us to move beyond simply believing in God to fully trusting Him—leading to a life of obedience, peace, and confidence.

    Ultimately, the call is simple yet profound: believe God, trust God, and obey God—even when you don’t fully understand.

  • Love in the Book of Romans

    In this episode, we walk through Romans chapter 5 as the powerful turning point of Paul’s message—from wrath revealed to love demonstrated. What changed between Romans 1:18 and Romans 5:8? At the cross, God didn’t just promise love—He proved it.

    Discover how, at just the right time, Christ stepped in for us in our weakness, offering justification, reconciliation, and new life. This episode explores the depth of a love that acts, a love that sacrifices, and a love that calls us simply to receive.

    Through the lens of family, loss, and the bond between parent and child, we reflect on a truth that changes everything: nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38–39). A love stronger than sin. Stronger than shame. Even stronger than death.

    This is the good news—will you receive it?

  • Atonement in the Book of Romans

    In this episode, Pastor Jonathan Peinado explores how the biblical idea of atonement grows out of the broader theme of propitiation described in the book of Romans. While propitiation restores our relationship with God, atonement moves outward—calling us to repair what has been broken in our relationships with others.

    Atonement involves more than simply saying “sorry.” It includes restoration, reconciliation, and making things right when harm has been done.

    Drawing from practical examples this message highlights how the gospel reshapes our relationships.

    Because Christ has served us and supplied what we could never repay, we are called to reflect that same spirit toward others—working to rebuild trust, restore dignity, and repair what sin has damaged. The grace we receive from God becomes the grace we extend to the people around us. ✝️

  • Propitiation in the Book of Romans

    In this episode, Pastor Jonathan Peinado continues his series on the book of Romans, exploring the third key word that Paul uses in Romans chapter 3 to describe God’s solution to the problem of sin: propitiation.

    This message looks at how Paul draws from the imagery of the Ark of the Covenant and the Mercy Seat to explain the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice.

    What does propitiation really mean? Is it about appeasing God’s wrath, as in pagan religion, or about God Himself providing mercy and atonement? By tracing the connection between the Old Testament sanctuary, the Day of Atonement, and Paul’s language in Epistle to the Hebrews, this episode shows how everything in the sanctuary system ultimately points to Jesus.

    The cross reveals that Christ is both the place of atonement and the sacrifice itself. Through His blood, Jesus provides mercy, covering, cleansing, and forgiveness—while also dealing decisively with the reality and penalty of sin. In the end, propitiation reminds us that salvation is God’s work from beginning to end, offered freely by grace and received through faith. ✨✝️

  • Redemption in the Book of Romans

    This episode explores the biblical meaning of "redemption" and the price of human freedom.

    Drawing from Romans 3:23, the sermon explains and examines the ancient meaning of redemption as the purchasing of a slave’s freedom.

    Through the lens of the great controversy, it presents the cross as the ultimate ransom—where Jesus gives His own life to free humanity from the bondage of sin and expose the true character of evil.
