Hope for Creation, Hope for Us: Understanding Our Inheritance in Christ
What happens when life is over? In this message, the speaker uses a powerful, contrasting example from his time as a chaplain—the "relational grenades" that explode in a hospital room when an estate is discussed versus a peaceful passing—to introduce the monumental difference between being a "slave" to the flesh and being an adopted "Son" (Heir) of God through the Spirit.
What Will Set You Free?
Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a loop of shame or failure, even as a Christian?
We're diving into Romans 8, what might be one of the most important chapters in the entire New Testament. Picking up right where Romans 7 left off—with the desperate plea, "Who will save me?"—Paul gives us the powerful, life-changing answer: "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
The War Within: Understanding the True Power of Sin
Do you ever feel like you're in a battle with yourself? The good you want to do, you don't do, and the evil you hate, you keep doing? This is the heart of the struggle the Apostle Paul describes in Romans 7.
Beyond Religion: The True Meaning of Romans 6
In this sermon, we dive deep into Romans chapter 6 to move beyond theological theory and into real-world application. Discover the fundamental reality of what faith in Jesus Christ truly accomplishes in a human life and why it's far more than just "living a little bit better."
The Power of the Gospel!
What happens when God’s grace meets the most broken of lives? In this powerful message from Romans 5:6–21, Pastor Nathan shares the incredible true story of Max, a hardened man living on the streets whose life was completely transformed by the “aggressive forgiveness” of Jesus Christ. Through the story of Kurt’s ministry on Portland’s streets and Paul’s teaching in Romans, we discover that God’s salvation is far bigger and more powerful than we often imagine. Sin and death may threaten us, but grace wins hands down.
The Debt You Didn’t know you Had!
Many of us live our lives unaware of a spiritual debt we carry—a debt that separates us from God. But the good news of the gospel is that Jesus has already paid that price. Through faith in Him, we are "justified," which means our account is cleared, and we can experience true peace with God.
Discovering Your Place in God's Family on Mission!
What does "family" truly mean? While we often think of blood relatives, the Bible expands this definition in a powerful way. Using the story of Abraham from Romans 4 and the compelling analogy of a "Band of Brothers," this message explores how we become part of God's family not through our heritage or good works, but through a shared faith in Jesus Christ.
Why Does a Loving God Get Angry? Understanding God's Wrath in Romans
In this sermon, we dive deep into the Book of Romans to tackle one of the most difficult and misunderstood concepts in theology: the wrath of God. Discover why God's anger isn't like our fleeting, emotional anger. Instead, it is a perfect, just, and holy response to injustice and sin. Learn how God's kindness is meant to lead us to repentance and how the good news of the gospel is even bigger and better than you might think.
