Welcome Church Podcast

Christopher continued our Romans series in 9:1–29, unpacking how the gospel reshapes our view of God’s promises. Even when it’s hard to understand, Paul reminds us that God’s promises never fail—they’re built on grace, not effort, and reveal His mercy, power, and deep purpose in saving people.

Steve continued our Romans series in chapter 8, reminding us that present suffering is real, but it doesn’t compare to the future glory that awaits. God is with us in our pain, working for our good, shaping us to be like Jesus—and nothing can separate us from His love.

Christopher continued our Romans series looking at Romans 8:1–17. The Holy Spirit is the game-changer who makes transformation possible. We’ve been set free from shame, given a new mindset, power to overcome sin, and brought into close relationship with God as our loving Father.

James continued our Romans series by unpacking Romans 7. He explored the tension we all face between wanting to do good and falling short—but reminded us that our failure isn't the end of the story. In Jesus, we’re not left in defeat. Though the law reveals our struggle, grace points us to our Savior. We can live with hope, knowing that even in the battle, Christ is our rescue and strength.

Steve continued our Romans series, unpacking Romans 6 and asking, "Does God’s grace give me a free pass to sin?" He showed that in Jesus, our old self has died, and we’ve been raised to a new life. Grace doesn’t give us a free pass to sin—it empowers us to live in freedom, offering every part of ourselves to God

Christopher’s Easter Sunday preach reminded us that the resurrection changes everything—just as it did for Jesus’ followers. It starts with a changed mind, leads to a changed heart, and results in a changed life. The gospel isn’t just history—it’s an invitation today to trust Jesus, respond, and be transformed!

Larey’s Good Friday preach asked, “Why is Good Friday good?” It’s good because the cross reveals God’s faithfulness, justice, and mercy. Jesus fulfilled every promise, paid for every sin, and made a way for us to be forgiven, free, and made new!

Natalie shared a powerful message on mercy and compassion, reminding us that God’s heart is for the poor and vulnerable. Reading from Isaiah 61, we’re called to bring relief, release, and restoration—not just spiritually, but practically. Compassion should shape everything we do as Christians!
