Romans 1: Knowing the Truth

Pastor Mick Veach's sermon centers on the beginning of a new series exploring the Book of Romans. He emphasizes the importance of understanding scripture deeply, especially in a time when biblical literacy appears to be declining. The sermon addresses themes of sin, the Gospel, and the repercussions of idolatry, as he quotes verses from Romans that indicate God's anger towards those who abandon the truth. He asserts that the Gospel is for everyone, regardless of their past or present circumstances, and reinforces that all humans are guilty of sin but can be saved through faith in Jesus Christ. As the sermon progresses, Pastor highlights the transformational power of the Gospel, encouraging congregants to confront their feelings about scriptural truths rather than reshaping them to fit personal beliefs. He speaks candidly about the struggle to uphold biblical principles in a society that often promotes opposing ideologies, particularly regarding sexual ethics. In closing, he invites individuals to recognize their need for prayer and support, emphasizing the importance of coming together as a community of believers who aren't ashamed of the Gospel, allowing it to guide their lives even in challenging times. Pastor Mick underscores that while the message may be hard, embracing the truth is crucial for genuine faith and spiritual growth.
