A Deserved Doxology
Our great and mighty God is worthy of all praise and glory! Romans 16 reminds us that God is powerful. He is everlasting. He is all wise. When life is hard God can strengthen us and help us keep going. He guides us through fear and gives us direction when we do not know what to do. Through Jesus Christ and God’s Word we can trust the One who sees what is ahead. Find out more in today's message! Transcription available.

Avoid Fake Christians
Not everyone who speaks Christian language is leading us toward Christ. This message exposes how false teaching, flattering words, and emotional persuasion can quietly create division and draw us away from biblical truth. Through Paul’s warning in Romans 16, we are called to know God’s Word deeply, recognize spiritual snares, remain wise in what is good, and rely on God’s grace rather than personalities or empty promises. To explore this vital warning, listen to today’s sermon; transcription available.

The Church and You
Is the church really a building - or are we getting it completely wrong? In Romans 16, we discover that the church is a local family of believers united in Christ, each called to serve, encourage, pray, and make a positive difference. Through examples such as Phoebe, Priscilla and Aquila, Mary, and others, we see that every person has a meaningful role, whether visible or behind the scenes. What part can we play in serving Christ and strengthening one another? Find out in today’s message! Transcription available.
