Passage: Romans 8:1-4

-------------------

Many Christians live with a constant voice of guilt in their head, wondering if God is angry with them because of their weekly struggles and failures. In this message from Romans 8:1–4, Pastor Bart unpacks the most liberating truth in the Bible: there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. You will learn the difference between being pulled down by the law of sin and being lifted up by the Spirit of life, why the law acts like a mirror that shows us our mess but cannot clean us up, and how Jesus paid our maximum penalty so we could walk in freedom. If you have ever felt like you are not measuring up, struggled to silence your inner prosecutor, or wanted to stop performing for God's approval and start resting in His grace, this message is for you.

Sunday Morning

Passage: Romans 6:12-14

-------------------

In Romans 6:12–14, Paul calls believers to stop letting sin “reign” and to present themselves to God instead. Pastor explains how we often hand the “keys” of our lives back to sin through our desires, habits, and daily choices — and how God’s grace empowers us to live differently. Because we are alive in Christ and no longer under law but under grace, sin no longer has dominion over us. Take back the keys, surrender to God, and walk in the power of His grace.

Passage: Romans 6:5-11

-------------------

In Romans 6:5–11, Paul reveals that believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection — the old self is crucified, and the “body of sin” has been rendered powerless. Pastor explains that sin no longer has a legal claim on us because Jesus died once for all and now lives to God. When we know this truth, reckon it as reality, and yield ourselves to God, we can walk in the freedom, identity, and resurrection power the Holy Spirit provides.

The Power of One

Series: Book of Romans

Pastor: Pastor Bart Leger

Sunday Morning

Date: 15th February 2026

Passage: Romans 5:12-21

-------------------

Have you ever thought about how the act of just one person can change the course of history? We live in a world where we often inherit baggage, cultures, and consequences from decisions we didn't make. So, why is the world the way that it is, and more importantly, what did God do to fix it?

In this message, we unpack Romans 5:12-21 to look at the story of two men, two acts, and two very different results: Adam and Jesus Christ. We explore how one man's act of disobedience brought sin and death into the world, but how the obedience of one—Jesus Christ—provided a "much more" super-abounding grace that brings justification and life.

What You Will Learn:

The Power of One: How Adam acted as the representative for humanity, and how Jesus stepped in as the King of a new creation.

The Reign of Death vs. The Reign of Grace: Why we are born into spiritual bankruptcy, and how Christ's free gift restores our status.

The Purpose of the Law: Why the Old Testament law wasn't given to fix the sin problem, but to act like a flashlight exposing a messy room.

Super-Abounding Grace: Why God's grace is infinitely bigger than your biggest mess or past failures.

A New Identity: How to move your identity out from under the condemnation of Adam and into the righteousness of Christ.

Scripture Focus: Romans 5:12-21

Passage: Romans 5:1-5

-------------------

Many people are desperately searching for peace in all the wrong places—like their finances, health, or relationships—only to find that it never lasts. In this message from Romans 5:1–5, we explore how being justified by faith provides a deep-seated, unshakable peace that isn't dependent on shifting circumstances. You will learn what it truly means to have peace with God, how you have permanent access to His grace, and why God uses difficult trials to build your character and hope.

You will learn why true faith looks reality straight in the eye without wavering, how focusing on God's power instead of your problems strengthens your trust, and why Abraham's story directly connects to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Passage: Romans 4:13-17

-------------------

Gemini said Many people exhaust themselves trying to be good enough to earn God's approval or keep their salvation. In this message from Romans 4:13–17, Pastor Bart explains why God's promises depend entirely on His grace rather than our daily performance. You will learn why trying to work for your salvation empties the gospel of its power, how the law was designed to diagnose our sin rather than cure it, and how to place your absolute trust in the God who brings dead things back to life. If you have ever felt trapped on a religious treadmill, wondered if your mistakes will disqualify you from God's love, or faced a seemingly impossible situation that needs a miracle, this message is for you.
