  • Righteousness of God | Romans 3:1-31

    Righteousness of God | Romans 3:1-31
    May 3 2026
    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.

  • Religiosity Can't Save You | Romans 2:1-29

    Religiosity Can't Save You | Romans 2:1-29
    Apr 26 2026
    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.

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.

    Jesus through the Eyes of Andrew | Various Passages
    Apr 5 2026
    Andrew was one of the original twelve disciples of Jesus. But he is one of the lesser-known disciples, especially since he was so often overshadowed by his older brother, Peter. But despite Andrew’s relative lack of screen time on the pages of Scripture, there are some very helpful things we can glean from him about Jesus. Through Andrew, we see that Jesus is worth surrendering everything to follow, that Jesus is able to multiply anything far beyond measure, and that Jesus empowers us to fear nothing with his victory over death.
