About This Series:

In 1891, James Naismith attached a peach basket to a wall, crafted some rules, and launched the game of basketball. His stated purpose for inventing the game was to give young men the Gospel of Christ. Centuries earlier, the Apostle Paul was gripped by this passion to deliver the Gospel to his generation. And in his own testimony, delivered in Romans 1, Paul reveals his motive in life: to enable people to live beyond the games they play today . . . to live with forever in mind.

Sermons In This Series

What does it mean to truly live your life with an eternal purpose? Discover how the apostle Paul viewed himself and the world through a lens of obligation, eagerness, and unashamed faith. In this sermon, you'll explore Paul's powerful perspective on being indebted to Christ, to His church, and to the world.

2 - (Romans 1:16b) Gripped by the Gospel

Are You Gripped by Something Greater? Have you ever experienced something that gripped you so strongly you couldn't turn away—a book, a movie, or even a piece of music? What if the thing that gripped you had the power to change your life entirely? In Romans 1:16-17, Paul shares how the gospel captivated his entire being. He wasn't just influenced by the gospel; he was utterly transformed by it, and his life became a testimony of its power. The question is: what has captured your heart?

3 - (Romans 1:17) Recovering the Gospel

What is the church truly meant to uphold, and have we lost sight of it? In this message, we explore how easily we can become distracted by the ornamental and superficial, instead of holding up the pillars of the Gospel truth. If you feel that modern Christianity has lost its power and wonder how to recover its essence, this sermon will guide you back to the foundational truth of the Gospel.
