Sunday Sermon (5/31/2026)
Title (Passage): "Freedom from Sin" (Romans 6:1-14)
Speaker: Pastor Joshua Lim

Paul anticipates that there will be those who seek to take advantage of God's grace by continuing in their sin. But he adamantly states that Christians should not continue in sin because they have been set free from the power of sin through their union with Christ in his death and resurrection. As such, their old life is dead and they have been given a brand new life. From that foundational union with Christ, Christians must now fight against sin by remembering who they are, by refusing to submit to sin's power, and by resting in God's grace.

Sunday Sermon (5/24/2026)
Title (Passage): "Death in Adam, Life in Christ" (Romans 5:12-21)
Speaker: Pastor Joshua Lim

As Paul has unpacked the blessings that come with justification by faith, he highlights just how great a blessing justification is by presenting a "before" and "after" contrast between where we used to be and where we are now. Before in Adam, we belonged to a fallen humanity condemned to death. But now in Christ, we belong to a redeemed humanity justified for life. Jesus is the "greater Adam", whose exclusive and exhaustive work paints a brand new picture.

Sunday Sermon (5/17/2026)
Title (Passage): "The Blessings of Faith" (Romans 5:1-11)
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Lee

Previously, Paul had just laid out that justification comes by faith and uses Abraham as an example. Now in Romans 5, Paul briefly lays out the multitude of blessings that come with our justification through faith. We have peace with God, and we can now find access into his unending grace. Furthermore, we have joy even in our sufferings because it produces hope. And this hope does not fail us because it has been proven through God's own love for us.

Sunday Sermon (5/10/2026)
Title (Passage): "Faith Alone" (Romans 4:1-25)
Speaker: Pastor Joshua Lim

The Apostle Paul has laid out the heart of the gospel message, which is that we are justified before God not on the basis of our works, but on the basis of what Jesus has done. But how do we receive such righteousness? We receive Christ's righteousness by faith, and by faith alone. In this passage, Paul brings up the example of Abraham to show that God has always justified on the basis of faith alone. The outlook of such justifying faith is trusting God to do what we can't do for ourselves, and the outworking of such justifying faith is faithfully doing what God has called us to do. As such, we are invited to trust in Jesus for our justification and to faithfully follow after him.

Sunday Sermon (5/3/2026)
Title (Passage): "Righteousness of God" (Romans 3:1-31)
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Lee

Here in chapter 3, we get to the crux, or turning point, of the gospel message. Paul has articulated the fullness of man’s depravity, both Jews and Gentiles alike, and their inability to attain righteousness for themselves. All had sinned, and none could save themselves. But now the righteousness of God, promised and foreshadowed from the Old Testament, has been revealed through the person of Jesus Christ. This righteousness may now be received through faith apart from the law of works. This is the glory and hope of the gospel message.

Righteousness of God

Sunday Sermon (4/26/2026)
Title (Passage): "Religiosity Can't Save You (Romans 2:1-29)
Speaker: Pastor Joshua Lim

After laying out how God's judgment comes upon those who blatantly sin, Paul turns the tables and shows that those who are self-assured, morally-upstanding, and religiously-devout are just as much in danger of God's judgment through their religiosity. Religiosity is the attempt to secure righteousness before God through religious performance. As such, we need to repent of our religiosity just as much as we need to repent of our blatant sins. Thankfully, the gospel invites us to rest in something far better - not in what we do, but in what Jesus has already done for us.

Sunday Sermon (4/19/2026)
Title (Passage): "God's Righteous Judgment" (Romans 1:18-32)
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Lee

As Paul lays out the gospel message, he will first explain God's just wrath on all unrighteousness. There is no good news without first knowing the sobering truth of the bad news. Paul explains the fullness of the depravity of the human condition where we were given up to our idolatry, lusts, and rebellion. This highlights not only our utter need for a savior, but also the glory of God's salvation.
