How to be Saved

Romans 10:1-13

August 16, 2020 • Pastor Bill Riedel

After establishing God’s sovereignty in chapter 9, this chapter turns firmly toward human responsibility in salvation. Romans 10 is intensely practical and personal for us, exposing that our passion alone can never save us. But salvation is easily accessible to everyone.

A Vision of Unity for the Church

September 6, 2020 • Pastor Bill Riedel

This passage closes out this section of Romans with a strong push toward a vision of the unity of God’s people in Jesus Christ. Before heading into the final, most practical section on the letter, Paul closes this theologically dense section with an explosion of praise and worship for our God. Robust theology ought to lead us to worship.

Warning Against Self Righteousness

August 30, 2020 • Pastor Bill Riedel

There is a strong warning against self-righteousness in this passage, but it ends with a vision that is filled with hope. With God there are no lost causes. He is working to save all people for our good and His glory. This is a glorious promise that God is not finished with you, or me, or anyone else. Join us to hear the hope we have in Christ.

Faith by Hearing

August 23, 2020 • Pastor Bill Riedel

This passage shows us the way that the gospel has advanced from the very beginning as God’s people have been sent to proclaim the good news of Christ so that others will hear and some will turn in belief and repentance to embrace new life.
