Sermon Passage: Romans 1:16-17
Sermon Title: Faith for Life and Living
Sermon Big Idea:
As believers, we should boldly proclaim and live out the gospel. As we do this, we rest in God’s power—the only source of true salvation and transformation. Apart from God there is no hope, but through Christ His righteousness is revealed and given to all who believe. Salvation begins by faith and continues by faith.
