Full Sermon // July 26, 2026
In week two of our series in Romans, Pastor Beau carried on reading and preaching on Romans 5-8. He built upon the fact that Romans carries the essentials of the Good News and dove deeper into some of the specifics of those essentials. We are not simply meant to receive salvation and stop in our spiritual lives, but continue to pursue holiness throughout our lives.
Notes from Sunday’s Sermon:
Romans was born out of a desire to unify a diverse church around the essentials of the Good News.
Hope that unifies and endures suffering of the present and guarantees final salvation in Christ
Justification not only frees us from past sin, but opens up new possibilities in our future.
Hope — Romans 5:1-11
Hope does more than survive the suffering, but it is produced in the suffering.
Adam and Christ — Romans 5
The crucifixion of Jesus was the final nailing to the cross of our old self and his resurrection was the raising of our new self.
Baptism — Romans 6
The fruit of justification can only be sustained through total self-abandonment to righteousness.
Law — Romans 7
Jesus fulfilled the law for us that it might be fulfilled in us.
Life in the Spirit — Romans 8
Jesus became a man of flesh so that we might become men and women of the Spirit.
Hope — Romans 8:38-39
