Today we continue to with our series, “The Glory of the Gospel” as Pastor Mark teaches from Romans 5.

You Didn’t Earn It
We’re all used to a paycheck reflecting the work we provide for our employer or clients, but God’s economy runs completely contrary to the familiar work-reward system. Today Pastor Jon brings us good news about God’s economy from Romans 4 in his message “You Didn’t Earn It,” Part 4 in our series from Paul’s letter to the Romans.
You’ve Been Summoned to God’s Courtroom
Every day people appear in courtrooms across the country to face charges ranging from traffic violations to serious crimes.
