In Romans 2, Paul shifts from addressing the openly rebellious sinner to confronting the “moral” person — the one who believes they’re good enough without Christ.
In this message, we unpack one of the most humbling truths in Scripture: being a good person isn’t enough. Whether religious or irreligious, pagan or moralist, Paul makes it clear — apart from Jesus, we all stand guilty before a holy God.
But this isn’t bad news… It’s clarifying news.
Because the gospel isn’t good advice for bad people — it’s good news for guilty people.

This week, we walk through Romans 1:16–32—a passage that boldly addresses sin, truth, and the consequences of rejecting God. It’s heavy. It’s honest. And it’s necessary. But at the center of it all is this truth: the gospel is the power of God for salvation. No more shame. No more hiding. Through Christ, we are rescued, restored, and welcomed home by a good and loving Father.

Devoted in a World That Has Exchanged the Truth
February 22, 2026 • Rich Sparling • Romans 1:16–32
Are we living in a post-Christian culture? And if so, how should believers respond?
In this message from Epistle to the Romans 1:16–32, we confront one of the most sobering passages in Scripture. The Apostle Paul describes a culture that has exchanged the truth of God for a lie — suppressing truth, worshiping creation over the Creator, and experiencing the consequences of that exchange.
But this is not a message of condemnation — it is a message of power and hope.
The gospel is still the power of God for salvation. In a world that may be drifting from its spiritual foundations, followers of Jesus are called not to shame, outrage, or fear — but to faithful devotion, humility, and transformation.

A Heart Devoted to My God
February 15, 2026 • Epi Garcia • Romans 1:8–15
What does it really mean to call God “Father”?
In this message from Romans 1:8–15, Pastor Abby challenges us to examine the kind of relationship we truly have with God. Is He distant? Is He formal? Or is He Abba — our Father?
As Paul writes to a divided church made up of Jews and Gentiles, we see something powerful: a transformed life reflects the heart of God. Paul models humility, deep affection for believers, unceasing prayer, and a burning desire for mutual encouragement. He reminds us that the gospel is for everyone — even the people we struggle to believe deserve grace.
