In this sermon from Romans 1:21–23, we reflect on the condition of the human heart apart from the grace of God. Paul shows how humanity, though knowing about God through His revelation, refused to honor Him or give thanks. The result was spiritual darkness, futile thinking, and idolatry. Yet this passage also humbles us, reminding us that apart from God’s grace, their heart is our heart. Join us as we consider the seriousness of sin, the danger of rejecting God’s truth, and our desperate need for the mercy and saving grace found in Jesus Christ.

In this sermon from Romans 1:18–20, we begin one of the most serious and foundational sections in Paul’s letter to the Romans. After revealing the righteousness of God in the Gospel, Paul now confronts humanity with the reality of God’s holy wrath against sin.

What is the wrath of God? Why is it necessary? And why can humanity not claim ignorance before God?

This message explores humanity’s suppression of divine truth, the clarity of God’s revelation in creation, and the universal guilt of mankind before a holy Creator. Yet this passage ultimately prepares us to see the beauty of the Gospel more clearly, because only when we understand the seriousness of sin and the justice of God can we truly treasure the grace revealed in Jesus Christ.

At the cross, God’s wrath against sin and God’s love for sinners meet perfectly together.

Text: Romans 1:18–20

In this sermon on Romans 1:15–17, we explore why Paul was unashamed of the gospel and why he called it “the power of God unto salvation.” This message unpacks the righteousness of God revealed through faith alone, the saving power of Christ, and what it means for believers to live “from faith to faith.” A call to stop trusting in ourselves and rest fully in the grace and righteousness of Christ.
