The Law and Righteousness

February 5, 2023 • Dr. Mark Kemp • Romans 7:12, Romans 2:13, Romans 3:9–20

God gave His law to Israel to guide them in the kind of holy living that was required for a people in relationship with the Holy God. This law recorded for us in Holy Scripture reveals the righteous requirements of God. We'll look at several key truths about God's law and how it relates to our lives and relationship with God.

Eager for the Gospel

March 5, 2023 • Dr. Mark Kemp • Romans 1:13–17

In this passage, the apostle Paul describes his commitment and attitude toward sharing the gospel of Jesus. As those who have received the benefit of the gospel, we now have the calling and privilege to share it with others. This Scripture helps us understand and undertake this great mission as God's people today.

New Life in Christ

February 26, 2023 • Dr. Mark Kemp • Romans 6:1–14

When we are redeemed through the blood of Christ and made right with God through faith in Jesus, we are not the same old person with a second chance. The Bible says we are new persons with new life in Christ. We have a new power through Christ so that we not only experience forgiveness of sin but we have power to live in victory over sin.

The Heart of the Gospel

February 19, 2023 • Dr. Mark Kemp • Romans 3:19–26

In our Elevate series, we are looking at the bigger picture of the Gospel from the creation to the second coming. This Sunday we come to what we most likely think about when we hear the word Gospel. God’s work to save us through Christ is the very heart of the Gospel. We share it often in very simple terms but this text takes us deep into understanding the wonder of what God has done for us in Christ.
