  • Homily - Romans 1:16-32 - The Honor of Righteousness
    Jul 11 2026

    This was our second week (June 21, 2026) in Paul's letter to the Romans. In this passage, the Apostle Paul begins to proclaim his Gospel, telling the Roman Christians that his Gospel is more honorable than Caesar's Gospel because it brings the Apocalypse now: Salvation to every believer and wrath to every unbeliever. No one has to wait until the final judgment, because the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings God's righteousness and wrath into the middle of history, which means justice is executed without delay and peace with God is possible! Listen as we continue our study with Romans 1:16-32.

Listen as Fred Thompson preaches from Matthew 10:34-42 about Jesus bringing a sword, not peace, during the conflict stage of the Kingdom’s progress.
