In This Sermon:
📖 What if one six-letter word could unlock the entire Christian message? Pastor Jacob Van Sickle launches a brand new series, "What Is the Gospel? An Introduction to the Christian Message," starting in Romans 1. In a post-Christian culture full of the unchurched, the de-churched, and the churched-but-unsure-how-to-explain-it, this series digs into what the gospel actually is — and why it's still good news today.
🔑 In this sermon you'll learn:
✝️ Why Paul wasn't ashamed of the gospel, even in the heart of Rome
⚡ How the gospel is "the power of God for salvation" for everyone who believes
⚖️ What "the righteousness of God" really means — and why we need it
🌍 The three types of people a post-Christian culture produces, and why this series speaks to all of them
💭 Why guilt and shame are universal human experiences — and where they point us
