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. 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 ended our lesson last time noticing that the apostle Paul is teaching that we must have the faith of Abraham to be able to receive the blessing of the gospel.

One of the important characteristics needed to belong to the kingdom of God is humility. Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3).
