Romans in Review: Sin and Salvation (Romans 1-3)Download this sermon
We have a problem. Our biggest problem is that we don’t recognize that we have a problem. Counselors will tell us that the first step to helping anyone is to help him see that he has a problem. Our problem is not financial, political or cultural. It goes much deeper that these. Our problem is with sin. Only when one understands this can he begin to see the beauty of the cross. Join us as we examine the grace of Jesus Christ.
It Always Ends with Praise (Romans 16:25-27)Download this sermon
Praise is central in the Christian life. We have wrestled with some of the most challenging passages in the entire Bible. We have plumbed the depths of theology and the practical Christian life. It is fitting that Paul wraps up the book or Romans highlighting several themes found within this majestic letter and turning them back into an opportunity to praise. May this message turn your eyes upon Jesus.
The Things that Matter Most (Romans 16:1-24)Download this sermon
We can read through this chapter and our eyes might glaze over as we see a seemingly unending list of names. But we could miss some of the most important truths if we neglect this passage. Two truths are a central focus. First, people matter to God. Secondly, truth matters to God. Very few things are going to last for eternity but people and the Word of God are going to last forever and they need to be our focus as well. Join us as we are inspired by this chapter.
The Heart of a Missionary (Romans 15:14-33)Download this sermon
In this passage the Apostle Paul shares the details of his missionary journey and his longing to personally spend time with the believers at Rome. As we examine the details of his potential journey we uncover the heart of a missionary and also discover the fact that things don’t always go as we planned. Join in listening to this encouraging message.
A Matter of Conscience Part 3 (Romans 15:1-13)Download this sermon
What do we do when we differ on matters of conscience? How do we treat others who have a different perspective on issues? As Paul concludes dealing with these sensitive issues he points to Jesus as our example of how to treat others in a way that builds them up and glorifies God. Please listen to the third installment in this three part series on your conscience.
A Matter of Conscience Part 2 (Romans 14:13-23)Download this sermon
We continue our study of the role of our conscience in the Christian life. What do we do if we have convictions that other sincere believers do not have? How do we treat others that differ from us when we respectfully exercise our Christian freedom in an area that others choose to abstain? This sermon may challenge your thinking on a few important areas.
A Matter of Conscience Part 1 (Romans 14:1-12)Download this sermon
What is your conscience and how does it work? How is your conscience developed and what role should it play in your spiritual life? What happens when a conscience is overly sensitized to certain personal convictions? Should we ever violate our conscience? This begins a three part series addressing these very timely and provocative questions.
Living Before a Watching World (Romans 12:14-21)Download this sermon
We are supposed to be in the world but not of it. What does that mean exactly? More than that we are told that we are not to love the things of this world but we are also commanded to people who are in this world just like God so love the world that He sent His Son. How can we do that? Listen as we explore these issues and wrestle with what it means to live your life before a watching world.
What Time is it? (Romans 13:11-14)Download this sermon
When we hear the question, “What time is it?” we instinctively look at our watch. But that is not what the passage is asking us to consider. What time is it? Do we know the times? Jesus says that He will soon return and His return is closer than when we first believed. Are you ready for when Jesus returns? What should he find you doing? Listen as we explore this life-changing truth.
The Inexhaustable Debt (Romans 13:8-14)Download this sermon
It is a good thing to owe nobody anything. To be debt free, especially in today’s economy, is a good thing. But the Bible says that there is one debt that you owe that you can never fully repay. This is not a debt to God but a debt to one another. What is that debt? It is the debt of love. Learn today what that means and find out practical ways to put that into practice in your life.
God and Government Part 2 (Romans 13:1-7)Download this sermon
This is the second part of a two part series on God and Government. What is the role that we should play as Christians in Government? Some people think that we should just withdraw from engagement because we are not of this world. Others think that we will transform the world as Christians if we can only appoint believes to all high offices. Is there a proper balance to be struck in this important matter? What does the Bible have to say about the role of government? Listen to the second part in this two part series to find out.

The Normal Christian Life (Romans 12:9-13)Download this sermon
The Christian life is a life of sincerity and faith. Nobody likes imitation chocolate. Counterfeit money is worthless. And what woman would like to get gold plated jewelry or a fake diamond engagement ring? What is worse than all of these is an insincere Christian who isn’t the same on the inside as he pretends to be on the outside. Listen to this timely message to be challenged to be real.
Serving with a Servant's Heart (Romans 12:3-8)Download this sermon
Ministry is not just about what you do but why you do it. Sometimes we get so caught up in the programs and people that we fail to step back and see the bigger picture. We are being used by God to build His Kingdom. Attitude and perspective make all the difference in the world. Join us in this as we take an attitude adjustment.
Lay Your All on the Altar (Romans 12:1-2)Download this sermon
I heard one pastor compare the church with the ocean liner, the Titanic, which sank in 1912. He noted very simply that the problem was not that the ship was in the water, the problem was that the water was in the ship. We are supposed to be “in” the world but not “of” the world. What happens when the world gets into the church? How can we live holy lives in this postmodern world? Listen in as we answer these questions.
The Vine and the Wild Branch (Romans 11:11-24)Download this sermon
Some people think that the Old Testament People and the New Testament Church are completely separate. Others think that the Church totally replaced Israel in God’s plan. Which is right? The answer is neither and both! Huh? They both have a point but they mistake the part for the whole. Listen to today’s message to find out how it all fits together.
A Remnant of Hope (Romans 11:1-10)Download this sermon
The Bible revealed that the children of Abraham were God’s chosen people. Throughout the Old Testament we see God moving forward with His plan for a deliverer, a Messiah. But where do the Israelites fit into God’s present plan? What should our attitude be toward Israel and the Jewish people? Paul doesn’t leave it to our imagination but gives a clear answer. Listen now to find out what that is.
Don't Pass Me By (Romans 10:16-21)Download this sermon
One of the most frustrating things in the world is for something to happen and you miss it. Maybe it was a big play for the football game and you were in the other room. Perhaps it is a show on TV that you forgot about until it was too late. Maybe you lost the invitation to the party and find it the day after the event. What is most sad is that Jesus the Messiah came to his own and they did not receive Him. But we can miss Him too if we are willfully negligent. Listen to find out how to make sure you aren’t passed by!
The Greatest News Ever Told (Romans 10:9-15)Download this sermon
What does it mean to be a follower of Christ? How can you know for certain that you will go to heaven when you die? What are the results of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Why is it important for followers of Jesus to tell others about the message of the cross? These questions are important for each one of us to answer. Join in and listen to this challenging message of hope.
Confessing Jesus Christ as Lord (Romans 10:1-10)Download this sermon
Is there only one way to heaven? What does it mean to be forgiven? Does a person have to personally accept the person and work of Christ in order to be born again? Our culture would want us to compromise our message and accuses us of being unloving when we clearly preach Jesus is the only way to the Father. What can we say in response? Listen to today’s message to find out!
The God of All Mercy (Romans 9:6-18)Download this sermon
What a humbling truth to realize that our salvation from beginning to end is because of the wonderful grace of our loving God. We do not know Jesus because we are better, smarter or more worthy. It is by grace we have been rescued from our sins and forgiven. Join us as we ponder these grand truths!
A Passionate Heart (Romans 9:1-5)Download this sermon
Paul had a passion for the lost that fueled his desire to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Join in and listen as we see the heart of this great apostle and better understand why God used him to changed the western world.
Overwhelming Conquerers (Romans 8:29-39)Download this sermon
Paul shares the beautiful truth that God’s love is perfect and strong. Because of His work in us we can have confidence that He is going to finish what He started. This truth gives us a bold faith in the midst of adversity. It isn’t our ability to hang on but God’s promise based on His love that keeps us secure.
God Works Through All Things (Romans 8:28)Download this sermon
This is one of the most well loved and best known verses in the Bible. However, this isn’t a blanket statement that whatever we do is always going to turn out for our good. It is a reminder of God’s power and provision in every situation as we are seeking Him. If you are going through a hard time and are looking for encouragement in the time of storm I encourage you to listen to this message.
Life in the Spirit (Romans 8:1-11)Download this sermon
There is victory in Christ but that victory does not reside within ourselves or in our own strength. There is victory over sin and that is found through an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ and the enabling strength of the Holy Spirit. This message reminds of us the great victory we have over the habit of sin.
The Battle Within (Romans 7:14-25)Download this sermon
Why do we do the things we don’t want to do? Why is it so hard to do the things we know that we ought to do? These questions aren’t new. In fact, these are the very ones that the Apostle Paul answered in the book of Romans. What are the answers to these questions? Listen as we learn about the nature of the struggle and the pathway to victory.
The Perfection of Grace (Romans 7:1-13)Download this sermon
How in the world should we view the Old Testament Law? Does it have any bearing on our Christian faith or is it completely irrelevant for us today? Does God have any moral expectations for us as believers? Listen today as we explore the place the Law has in the Christian faith.
Remember who you are! (Romans 6:15-23)Download this sermon
These words were shared with me when I was a college student by a friend’s dad as we were about to travel down to Florida for spring break. He reminded us that we would be surrounded by temptation and the opportunity to sin but we needed to be mindful that we were children of the King and we needed to live up to that calling. This is a message all of us need to hear!
United with Christ (Romans 6:1-14)Download this sermon
What does it mean to be “in Christ”? The most common term used by the Apostle Paul is that we are “united with Christ.” This sermon challenges us to understand the meaning and implications of this truth for everyday life.
Overcoming the Habit of Sin (Romans 6 [Please note: 1st minute is silent])Download this sermon
Jesus paid the penalty for our sins at the cross and the decisive power of sin over us has been broken. We know that we await the day when Jesus returns to remove the presence of sin from the created order but why do we struggle with sin? We need to understand the principle of indwelling sin within the life of the believer and how we can break the habit of sin in our lives.
