This past Thursday, I had the pleasure of preaching on Romans 5:1-11 where Paul has just come off of explaining the truth of justification by faith alone in Christ alone (Romans 3:21-4:25). Throughout this section in chapter 5, Paul focuses on three key ideas and blessings that Christians enjoy: faith in Jesus Christ, which then grants us peace with God and grace to sustain us in our daily lives (5:1-2), hope in the glory of God the Father (5:2), and the love of God in Christ (5:6-11) through the Holy Spirit who has been poured out to us (5:5).

In this sermon, I unpack the ideas and realities of faith, hope, and love, and what they mean for the Christian.

I'm a student at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary studying for a Master of Divinity in Christian Ministry. I aspire to go into pastoral ministry, and I have a passion for calling people of all ages away from the easy, shallow, and hollow version of Christianity that has sadly become mainstream in America today and instead, calling them to holiness, and to experience and enjoy Christ through his Word above all other things.
