What Breaks You Doesn’t Have to Define You
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message, Pastor Finu unpacks Romans 5:12–21 to show how humanity’s story is divided between two representatives: Adam and Christ. Through Adam came sin and death, and through Christ comes grace and life. We do not simply struggle with bad habits, we carry a sinful nature that needs rescue. The good news is that Jesus, the new Adam, offers justification, reconciliation, and transformation as a free gift. Where sin abounds, grace abounds even more. In Christ, we move from death to life and are invited to reign in his power and grace. Sermon: What Breaks You Doesn’t Have to Define...

Your Worst Day Isn’t the End
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message, Pastor Chris unpacks Romans 5:1-11 to show how justification by faith transforms not only our eternity but our present life. Because of Jesus, we have peace with God, access to his grace, and joy that endures even through suffering. Paul reminds us that hardship produces endurance, character, and hope. And this hope will not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Spirit. At the center of it all is the staggering truth that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. If God loved us then, how much more does he love us now as his...

Faith Works Without You
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message from Pastor Finu, we explore Romans 4:13-25 and the kind of faith that stands firm when life feels impossible. Abraham’s story shows us that righteousness is not earned through works or law but credited through faith in a God who raises the dead and creates what does not yet exist. Faith is not blind optimism but trust in God’s character and promises, even when reality looks hopeless. Like Abraham, our failures do not define us, God’s faithfulness does. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, we are credited with righteousness and invited to rest in the assurance of...

You Can’t Save You
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message from Pastor Chris, we explore Romans 4:1-12 to see how God’s plan for salvation has never changed. Using Abraham and David as examples, Paul shows that we are made right with God by faith, not by works or religious rituals. Our culture teaches that worth must be earned, but the gospel declares that God’s love is given before we do anything to deserve it. Faith is more than belief, it is trusting in what Jesus has already done and living in the freedom it brings. This truth frees us from striving, condemnation, and fear, so we can live out of gratitude rather than...

Your Resume Won’t Save You
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message, Pastor Michael unpacks Romans 3:27-31 to show how the gospel dismantles our obsession with proving ourselves. In a world built on resumes and performance, Paul declares that we are justified not by what we do, but by faith in what Jesus has done. This righteousness is not earned, it is received as a gift of grace. The message confronts pride, disarms shame, and invites us to stop pretending and start trusting. This sermon challenges both skeptics and believers to surrender the resume, embrace Christ, and live in the freedom of being fully accepted by God. Sermon: Your Resume...

Why Everyone Falls Short
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message, Pastor Andrew unpacks Romans 3:21-26 to show how the gospel frees us from the crushing weight of performance. We are all broken and fall short of God’s glory, yet Jesus offers a righteousness we could never earn, he gives it as a gift of grace. Through the cross, we are invited to trust God as a loving Father and receive a new identity as his sons and daughters. This sermon challenges both skeptics and believers to stop striving, embrace grace, and discover the life-changing power of faith in Jesus.

The One Identity That Won’t Fail You
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message from Pastor Chris, we continue our journey through Romans by confronting one of Paul’s most sobering arguments, no one is righteous. Not the Gentile, not the Jew, not even the most devout or well-intentioned among us. Through Romans 3, we’re reminded that every gift or advantage we’ve received is a commission, not an exemption. God remains faithful even when people fail us. And while transformation stories may inspire, our identity must be rooted in Jesus alone. The law reveals our sin, but only grace brings rescue. In the end, the Gospel doesn’t flatter us. It saves...

The Devil Wears Morality
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message from Pastor Victor, we examine Paul’s bold confrontation in Romans 2, where he turns the lens from gentile sin to the self-righteousness of Jewish believers. We often think of sin as external, but Paul dives into the idols of the heart, exposing the illusion of moral superiority and the myth of self-determination. We are reminded that true salvation is not earned or progressed toward, it’s a complete overhaul of our inner being. We don’t need better behavior, we need a new heart. This sermon calls us to trade self-made righteousness for the transforming power of the...

Why Does God Get Mad?
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message, Pastor Michael unpacks one of the most sobering sections of Romans, where Paul describes humanity’s suppression of the truth and the consequences of idolatry. We see how rejecting God’s rightful place leads to disordered desires, brokenness, and judgment. Yet, woven through this diagnosis is the incredible mercy of God. Who, in His wrath against sin, offers grace through the cross of Christ. This sermon challenges us to stop justifying sin, to see ourselves honestly, and to marvel at the gospel that saves.

You’re Saved… But For What?
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message from Pastor Finu, we explore Paul's powerful declaration that he is “not ashamed of the gospel” in the heart of the Roman Empire. Rome offered peace through domination, but Paul proclaims peace through the cross. More than religious advice, the gospel is a royal announcement that Jesus is Lord, and that changes everything. This sermon challenges us to move from passive belief to bold engagement. What if being loved by God also means being called into his mission? With stories of radical transformation and the reminder that salvation is grace from start to finish, this...
