First, the Bad News | Romans 1:1-25 | Gary Hamrick

1/07/2024
There is a common saying… “There’s some good news, and there’s some bad news.” That saying could describe the book of Romans. It has a lot of good news (in fact, the word “gospel” means “good news”). But the book of Romans also has some bad news about God’s wrath and how we deserve it because of our sinfulness. Paul writes a commentary on the culture in Romans 1 like it’s today’s headlines—we are worshiping creation more than the Creator. There is more of an obsession about the planet and the environment than there is with God in our culture today. All this is symptomatic of a world that has denied the existence of God and disobeyed Him despite the fact that God has revealed Himself to an unrighteous world.

Joining from Arizona. I wish your church was closer Pastor Gary 🙏🏻. I am a Jew who has been blessed to come and follow Jesus. This is my first time going through the New Testament so I truly appreciate learning the TRUTH through your teachings.

Pastor Gary isn’t your average sunday morning sermon kind of man but a scripture leading teacher who cares about equipping God’s sheep with the Word of God. Best scripture teaching Pastor I have ever heard. ❤

Pastor Gary speaks the truth. I have learned so much from his teaching of the Bible. I thank God for this man.

Gary is an Awesome Preacher of the Word of God, and I am a perfect example of the power of God's Grace. I was a practicing homosexual until Jesus came and set me Free. Once I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, He turned me into a New Creation. I no longer lust after other men, I have been born again. I fill my mind with the Word of God and follow Jesus and am a Doer of Jesus ' words, not a hearer only. I was lost, but now I have been found. Jesus turned that old man off like a light switch. I am a blood washed, Holy Spirit Filled Child of the Most High God. It's all because I asked Jesus to come into my heart, I am a new creation, and I am Never going back to that old life. I'm going home one day, this place is Not my Home, I'm just passing through.
Thank You Jesus for finding me and Saving me from the Wrath of God !
Hallelujah to The Lamb of God 🙏❤️
