Romans begins with a tension we all feel. Good news and bad news.

In this sermon, we walk through Romans 1:18 to 3:20, one of the most challenging but essential sections of Scripture. Paul explains why God’s wrath is not reckless anger, but his settled and loving opposition to evil, because evil destroys what God loves.

You will hear how God has revealed himself clearly through creation and conscience, why humanity is without excuse, and how sin is fundamentally an exchange, trading the glory of God for substitutes that promise life but deliver bondage.

This message unpacks how judgement is already being experienced as God “gives people over” to disordered desires, allowing the consequences of idolatry to be felt. Sexuality is explored as one illustration of this wider exchange, alongside a strong warning against isolating any one sin or group.

Paul then turns his attention to religious people, dismantling the idea that moral performance or spiritual heritage can rescue us. The law exposes sin, it was never meant to save.

Romans 1 to 3 is sobering, but it is also deeply hopeful. It tells the truth about all of us, so that the grace of God can make sense for every one of us.

This is realism that leads to redemption. And it sets the stage for the most powerful words in the letter.

“But now.”

We live in a world where almost everything is constantly changing. Our circumstances shift, our emotions fluctuate, and the future often feels uncertain. In the middle of all that movement, Scripture reveals a life-anchoring truth, God does not change.

In this message, The God Who Never Changes, we explore why God’s unchanging nature is not just a theological idea, but a deeply practical hope for everyday life.

Together we look at • Why change is a defining feature of human existence • How God is utterly unlike us, eternal and unchanging • Why God’s immutability would be terrifying without grace • Why it becomes glorious news because of Jesus

Because God does not change, His love is secure. His promises are dependable. His purposes for our lives will not fail.

Whether your faith feels inconsistent, your future feels uncertain, or your world feels like it is shaking, this message reminds us that God remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Let this truth steady your heart and renew your hope.

We live in a loud world filled with opinions, fear, and competing truths. Beneath all the noise is a deeper question, is there any good news that truly holds?

In this message from Romans 1 and 16, we begin a new series by exploring why Paul was so confident to say, “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” Writing to believers in the heart of the Roman Empire, Paul declares that the gospel is God’s power for salvation because Jesus has already defeated sin, death, and evil.

This sermon shows how the righteousness of God is revealed not through human effort, but through grace, opening the door for everyone who believes. Jew and Gentile, strong and weak, insiders and outsiders are all welcomed into God’s family through faith in Jesus.

This message invites us to rediscover confidence in the gospel, not as an idea, but as life changing good news that restores our relationship with God and gives us a living hope.
