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.

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.

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.

God's Promise

February 12, 2023 • Dr. Mark Kemp • Romans 1:1–6

Before sin entered the world through Adam, God had the plan to save sinners. Throughout the pages of the Old Testament, we find God's promise of a Savior repeated and expanded. The Gospel was not a new innovation that arrived with the New Testament. God long planned it, prepared for it, and promised it! We can trust, celebrate, and experience His great faithfulness to keep the most extraordinary promise ever made.
