In Romans 5:12–21, Pastor Gary Barr reminds us that while sin entered the world through Adam, God’s grace and redemption overflow through Jesus Christ. No matter how deep sin runs, God’s grace is deeper still.

Who are we in Christ? In Message 7 of our Grounded in the Faith series through Romans, we explored Romans 6 and the powerful truth that believers are no longer slaves to sin, but new creations called to live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Why do we suffer? In this week’s message from Romans 5, Pastor Richard reminds us that God can use even our hardest seasons to grow perseverance, character, and hope within us. Instead of asking “Why is this happening to me?”, we are invited to ask: “Holy Spirit, what are You seeking to do in my life?”
