Romans: Israel's Present Rejection
Romans 10:1-15
In the previous chapter, Paul reminded the Jewish Christians in Rome of how God ordained and preserved their people. In chapter ten, Paul shares with them why their people have refused the Messiah. What causes one to reject Christ? What is the ultimate answer for Israel and for us?
Romans: Israel’s Promise Upheld: Power Over Clay
Romans 9:19-33
In Romans 9, we see Paul testifying God’s faithfulness to the Jews. He examines the history of Israel and proves God’s consistency towards the Nation throughout time.

Romans: Mortify The Flesh
Romans 8:1-13
We know that through salvation we have been born again and sealed by the Spirit of God, but even with that security, our flesh has the ability to creep in and take control. In this sermon, Pastor Briscoe covers what it actually means to rid our lives of sin and live for Jesus. We must let the Spirit reveal wickedness in our lives in order to overcome it.
Romans: Overcoming the Struggle
Romans: 7:13-8:5
Paul gives us insight into his life by describing the same struggle that every Christian experiences. Even with our new nature, even if we want to follow God, sin seems to be lurking in the shadows. How do we transcend this struggle? The answer is "minding the things of the Spirit."
Romans: Dead to Sin, Alive to Christ
Romans 7:1-12
In Romans 7, Paul continues persuading us against sin and toward living in the reality of our righteousness. He uses the example of the marriage covenant to illustrate the freedom we experience in Christ when we die to the law of sin.
Romans: Yielding to Righteousness
Romans 6:12-23
Romans 6 gives us insight into how God identifies the believer: "Dead to Sin and Servant of Righteousness". What this means it that God has set us free from the bondage of sin so that we might serve him with absolute liberty.
Romans: Dying to Live
Romans 6:1-11
Paul articulates how Christ's death, burial and resurrection is a present truth in the Christian's life. Romans 6 teaches us that because we are dead to sin, our flesh cannot have power over us. We learn that because of the resurrection we have the power to walk in newness of life.
Romans: By One Man / Brian Bustos
Romans 5:12-21
By one man, Adam, sin, and death reigned throughout all humanity. In contrast, by one man, Jesus Christ, the gift of grace and life was offered to all.
Romans: The Value of Security
Romans 5:9-11
Many Christians struggle to know the true security of their salvation. Often, questions like: “Does my salvation remain when I sin or when I struggle to have faith?" or "Does my salvation keep me from God's future judgment?"
This message answers those doctrinal questions.
Romans: Justified by Faith: Abraham Pt. 2

Romans: God's Answer for the Guilty
Romans 3:21-31
In the previous message, we addressed the evidence of sin against mankind. While we are all guilty of sin, in this passage, Paul presents us with a legal deposition, a plan, explaining just how the accused have been acquitted of their crimes. This message analyzes what it means to be justified by Christ.
