Your Religion is Killing You

We continue our study of the Book of Romans in the Christian New Testament section of the Bible. This is a two-part message based on chapters 9,10, and 11. The 2nd part will be preached on May 17, 2026. Religion is good, it is following the tenets of someone, and in our case, God and Jesus Christ. But the religion is merely the following of the tenets or the works of our faith. We must be sure we do not think our religion is our salvation. Our salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone. Follow as we look at how we can fall into the trap of thinking our religion is sufficient.

Freedom by the Spirit

We continue our series on the Book of Romans this week with chapter. In this chapter, Paul begins to address the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

The Hope of Resurrection - April 5, 2026

The Power of Hope Mar 29 2026

In our life we face many, many challenges. We have the skills, abilities, and knowledge to face these challenges, but sometimes the challenge overwhelms us and demands more than we can offer. How do we continue to face the challenge? One of the most powerful mechanisms we have to help with pressing on is the hope that an answer will come or a solution will present itself. Having hope is critical. Having hope properly based is a must for a good outcome. When our faith and hope are placed in Jesus Christ and our Father Creator, we can rest assured that all things will turn out for the best.

Living or Dying: What's Your Choice?

In chapter 6 of the Book of Romans, the Apostle Paul addresses some erroneous thoughts about justification and the Law. He gives good reasoning why the ideas are wrong and encourages his reader to choose the victory in Christ that all Christians have available to them, but they must choose life in following Christ for their souls, not death by following the world's ways.

The Basis of Justification - Mar 15 2026

From Romans 5:12-21 - In this passage, the Apostle Paul explains how Adam's act of disobedience led to sin being imputed to all mankind. The comparison also draws on the idea that Jesus' act of redemption justifies all mankind's sins.

The Blessings of Justification

Besides receiving the joy of justification we gain from Christ's redemption, we receive seven other blessings.
