What's the difference between religious performance and genuine faith? In this week's message from Grand Point Church, we walk through Romans 2:17–29 — one of the most uncomfortable and convicting passages in all of Paul's letters. The Apostle Paul confronts the religious insiders of his day with a bold accusation: their outward religiosity was actually making things worse. Paul identifies four destructive patterns of religiosity — smugness, over-sensitivity, judgmentalism, and hypocrisy — and then uses the imagery of circumcision to make a radical point: God is after the heart, not the badge.Whether you've been a church-going believer for decades or you're brand new to faith, this message will challenge you to examine not just what you do as a Christian, but who you are when no one's watching.Show Notes:Key Scripture:Romans 2:17–24 — Paul's indictment of religious hypocrisyRomans 2:25–29 — Circumcision of the heart vs. outward signsColossians 2:11–12 — What happens spiritually when you come to ChristKey Themes:The danger of religiosity vs. genuine faithFour fruits of religiosity: smugness, over-sensitivity, judgmentalism, hypocrisyThe meaning of "circumcision of the heart" (Romans 2:29; Colossians 2:11)Seven markers of genuine, transformed faithThe prodigal son — and why both sons needed the Father's graceResource Referenced:Romans for You by Tim KellerHow Leaders Lose Their Way by Peter GreerNext Steps:Examine your faith honestly — Work through the seven markers of genuine faith mentioned in this message.

Leave a Review to help our audience grow!--March 1, 2026 -- Pr. Seth Moorman -- "The Long Arm of The Gospel!" -- Romans 4:1-8; 13-174 What can we say that we have discovered about our ancestor Abraham? 2 If Abraham had God's approval because of something he did, he would have had a reason to brag. But he could not brag to God about it. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and that faith was regarded as the basis of Abraham's approval by God.”(4 When people work, their pay is not regarded as a gift but something they have earned. 5 However, when people don't work but believe God, the one who approves ungodly people, their faith is regarded as the basis of God's approval. 6 David says the same thing about those who are blessed: God approves of people without their earning it. David said, 7 “Blessed are those whose disobedience is forgiven and whose sins are pardoned. 8 Blessed is the person whom the Lord no longer considers sinful.” ...13 So it was not by obeying the laws in Moses' Teachings that Abraham or his descendants received the promise that he would inherit the world. Rather, he received this promise through God's approval that comes by faith. 14 If those who obey Moses' Teachings are the heirs, then faith is useless and the promise is worthless. 15 The laws in Moses' Teachings bring about anger. But where those laws don't exist, they can't be broken. 16 Therefore, the promise is based on faith so that it can be a gift. Consequently, the promise is guaranteed for every descendant, not only for those who are descendants by obeying Moses' Teachings but also for those who are descendants by believing as Abraham did. He is the father of all of us, 17 as Scripture says: “I have made you a father of many nations.” Abraham believed when he stood in the presence of the God who gives life to dead people and calls into existence things that don't even exist. --GWhttp://www.bethanylutheran.orghttp://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beachwww.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach
Romans is perhaps the most comprehensive explanation of the Christian faith ever written. From the opening verses, we learn that it is primarily about the Gospel—what Jesus has done for us. This week, we will introduce this inexhaustible topic, why it is needed, and how it powerfully shapes our lives.

Kevin Kritzer -- "The Long Arm of the Gospel" -- Romans 5:12-1912 Sin came into the world through one person, and death came through sin. So death spread to everyone, because everyone sinned. 13 Sin was in the world before there were any laws. But no record of sin can be kept when there are no laws. 14 Yet, death ruled from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed. Adam is an image of the one who would come. 15 There is no comparison between God's gift and ⌞Adam's⌟ failure. If humanity died as the result of one person's failure, it is certainly true that God's kindness [a] and the gift given through the kindness of one person, Jesus Christ, have been showered on humanity. 16 There is also no comparison between ⌞God's⌟ gift and the one who sinned. The verdict which followed one person's failure condemned everyone. But, even after many failures, the gift brought God's approval. 17 It is certain that death ruled because of one person's failure. It's even more certain that those who receive God's overflowing kindness and the gift of his approval will rule in life because of one person, Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore, everyone was condemned through one failure, and everyone received God's life-giving approval through one verdict. 19 Clearly, through one person's disobedience humanity became sinful, and through one person's obedience humanity will receive God's approval. --GWhttp://www.bethanylutheran.orghttp://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beachwww.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach
In this encouraging message, Pastor Arnaldo explores the transformative power of the Gospel as presented in Romans 1:1-4 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, reminding our church family that Jesus is the true King who completely redefines our identity, security, and purpose. By deeply unpacking what the scripture says about the background, content, and benefits of this good news, we are challenged to move beyond mere religious consumption and instead fully anchor our lives and daily decisions in the reality of Christ's finished work.We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

In Romans 1:18–32, Paul turns from the power of the gospel to the reality of humanity's rebellion against God. He explains that God has made Himself known through creation, yet many people choose to suppress the truth, exchange God's glory for idols, and follow their own desires instead of His design.This passage reminds us that sin is not just personal failure — it is a rejection of God's authority. When people continually turn away from Him, the consequences affect minds, hearts, relationships, and entire cultures. Paul shows that apart from God, humanity drifts toward darkness, confusion, and brokenness.As we continue through Romans, this section challenges us to take sin seriously, recognize our need for God's mercy, and remain grateful that the gospel offers rescue from judgment and restoration through Christ.Connect with us!Missioncity.church
Pastor Zack launched our new series “To All The Saints” by taking us into Romans 1 and back to the foundations of our faith. Paul's bold declaration, “I am not ashamed of the gospel”, reminds us that the gospel isn't something we improve or add to, but the very power of God to save, transform, and sustain everyone who believes.

The gospel is not something to hide. It is God's power to save.In Romans 1:8–17, Paul lays out the heartbeat of his message and the theme of the entire letter. Writing to believers in one of the most powerful and influential cities in the world, Paul makes a bold declaration: he is not ashamed of the gospel. Not because it's popular. Not because it's easy. But because it works.This message reminds us that the gospel is more than the message that saves us. It is the truth that shapes how we live, how we see others, and how we carry hope into the world. The gospel is not advice or self-help. It is the power of God that forgives sin, transforms hearts, and brings salvation to all who believe.As we continue our journey through Romans, this passage challenges us to examine our confidence in the gospel, our willingness to share it, and our readiness to live by faith every day.Connect with us!Missioncity.church
The book of Romans has been a history-shaping epistle in the life of the church. It was from Romans that Augustine was converted, as were Martin Luther and John Wesley. An early Catholic, a Reformed Protestant, and an Arminian Methodist could at least agree on the most essential aspect of Christianity: the gospel. This is why Paul wrote Romans: to strengthen a church in the gospel of God. In these opening verses, Paul introduces this glorious gospel.
Before the gospel explains what we do, it tells us who we are.In this message from Romans 1:1–7, we see how Paul begins one of the most theologically rich books in Scripture not with commands or correction, but with identity. Before doctrine is explained, belonging is established. Before behavior is addressed, grace is declared.Romans opens by grounding us in three essential truths: who God is, who Jesus is, and who we are because of Him. The gospel is not a new idea, not a philosophy, and not self-improvement. It is God's promised plan, centered on Jesus Christ, and powerful enough to reshape our identity, obedience, and purpose.This message sets the foundation for the entire journey through Romans, reminding us that salvation begins with surrender, faith produces obedience, and those who belong to Christ are truly set apart for the gospel.Connect with us!Missioncity.church
When the Bible speaks of being ashamed, it is more than just a feeling of humiliation or embarrassment. It refers to public dishonor and a loss of dignity. Perhaps you have had a moment or two like that, where you have been truly ashamed, not just embarrassed or humiliated, but publicly dishonored and stripped of dignity. Maybe it was something you once did, something you are doing, or something done to you.There are plenty of things in this world that we could be ashamed of, but there is one thing that we, as believers, must absolutely not be ashamed of: the gospel of Jesus Christ. What we see in these verses is that living a life truly unashamed of the gospel frees us from our shame and allows us to live wholly devoted to and focused on Christ because of all He has done for us. May we stand with Paul and say, “I am not ashamed of the gospel.”BIG IDEA: Followers of Jesus must be unashamed of the gospel.What is the Gospel?The good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into the world to save sinners from eternal death and give eternal life, both now and forever.I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel (16a)Why Would I Be Ashamed of the Gospel? • The gospel creates opponents • The gospel brings suffering • The gospel affects relationshipsI Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel for Everyone (16b)I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Faith (17)
In Romans 1:7-16, Paul reveals God's vision for a church centered in Christ and strengthened by a gospel-shaped faith. This message calls us to move beyond surface-level Christianity by grounding our identity in grace, cultivating meaningful Christian community, and recovering bold confidence in the power of the gospel. As that faith takes root, it fuels spiritual maturity, love for the church, and a clear commitment to reaching our city and the lost with unashamed faith. In this sermon, we learn four ways to go deeper and be deeper: - A deeper understanding of God's love (grace that leads to peace) - A deeper love for Christians and the church (gratitude, prayer, and community) - A deeper love for the lost (living like gospel debtors with spiritual urgency) - A deeper conviction in the power of the gospel (unashamed, because it's God's power to save) As we begin Romans together, this message invites you to respond through prayer, worship, and renewed faith, asking God to make you the kind of person whose life is shaped by the gospel from faith for faith.
Throughout history, the Lord has used Romans to save many giants of the faith. Augustine, Martin Luther, John Wesley, and numerous others have experienced the glory of the gospel through this God-inspired letter. Romans contains the longest introduction of any of Paul's letters: a staggering 71 words between Paul's name and the name of his recipients. His greeting contains a lengthy description of the gospel, setting up a letter devoted to unpacking the gospel's beauty and glory. The book of Romans should elicit wonder in us about the magnificence of God's plan to save us which He formed in eternity past. It should lead us to the same response that Paul experienced when he was overcome with emotion at the greatness of God: “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!” (Rom 11:33)
guest speaker: Cyril Florita Romans 1:16–17 (NASB)16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyonewho believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of Godis revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.” We must grasp two (2) life-changing truths about the gospel so that we would faithfullyembrace it for ourselves and boldly proclaim it to others. 2 Reasons to Embrace and Proclaim the Gospel: 1) It Is God's Power to Save (v.16) 2) It Is God's Righteousness Revealed (v.17) Explanation:Paul's epistle to the Romans served as an introduction to his apostleship and as ademonstration of his gospel-ministry (1:1–6). Paul wanted to forge a relationship withthem by edifying them and strengthening their faith so they would partner with him in hismissionary plans for Spain (1:8–13; 15:28). Because of his God-given call and obligationto preach Christ to all people, he expressed how he was eager to preach the gospel tothem (1:14–15).And so, with our passage, at the beginning of verse 16, Paul uses the conjunction “for” togive a reason as to why he was so eager to preach—he was not ashamed of the gospel andhad complete confidence in it. Then, for the rest of verses 16 and 17, he again uses theconjunction “for” twice to further explain why he had such confidence in the gospel. Forreason #1, he presents how the gospel is the very power of God to save everyone whobelieves. And for reason #2, he presents how the gospel reveals the righteousness of God,which is received through faith, from beginning to end.
Speaker: Brent Kercheville. Romans 6 is showing us how we are to live differently because Christ set us free from the power of sin.

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. Romans 5 has proclaimed the powerful work of Christ to reverse our condition as we were under the power of sin. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). But Christ's magnificent, saving work requires a response.

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We have been looking at Romans 5 in which we read seven “much more” or “more than that” statements. The apostle Paul wants to show us what we have in Christ.

Message from Matthew Richey on November 16, 2025
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. In our last lesson we began a series called Much More. In Romans 5 we read seven times where the apostle Paul makes a declaration and then tells us that we have even more than that (cf. Romans 5:3, 9, 10, 11, 15, 17, 20). We notice in our last […] The post The Reconciliation of the Gospel (Romans 5:6-11) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We are turning our attention to Romans 5 and our theme for this chapter is Much More. The reason for this theme is that this idea of “much more” is repeated throughout this chapter. Notice Romans 5:3 begins, “More than that” or “Not only that.” Verse 9 says, “much more” […] The post The Hope of the Gospel (Romans 5:1-5) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
