As we continue in Romans, we come to the meat of the Gospel, something Paul has been setting up in the opening of this letter. On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Scott Gourley shares what the Gospel truly means for us.

We have a real tendency to try and justify ourselves. The problem is, as Paul reminds us in Romans. we cannot do that. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley breaks down the idea of Total Depravity as contrasted to God’s Grace through Christ.

As we continue in Romans, Paul is right up front about the fact that God is righteous when He chooses to judge the unrighteous. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares what this means for Christians today in light of the Gospel.

There were those among the Jews who believed that having the law and circumcision gave them an advantage in the new kingdom. Paul argues against this towards the close of Romans 2.  In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourely shares how it is the Spirit that saves, not the Law.

Paul found himself writing to two different groups in his letter to the Romans. The first were the Jews, who had God’s Law. The second ere the Gentiles, who did not have it in its written form. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley explains that there is no advantage for either group; both need the saving work of Jesus.

We have a tendency as Christians to rely on our own works to please God. The problem is our own works will never meet the standard God has set for us. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley explains how we need to quit relying on what we do and rely on what Jesus has done.

When we look on this world today, we see a lot of behavior that we as Christians condemn. In the beginning of the second chapter of Romans, Paul addresses the fact that we as Christians are often guilty of the very things we would condemn. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley reminds us we need to repent of the sins we commit, so we can be better equipped to help others see their sin and redemption through Christ.

As Paul continues in Romans with his argument that men have turned against God, he breaks down the consequences of doing so. These consequences zero in on the sin of homosexuality, but they are not limited to this, as the text shows. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley breaks down what happens when we deny creator and worship creation.
