Renewal Church

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues the sermon series through the book of Romans. In this talk, he speaks on the divisions that often separate members of the church and how Paul in today's verses encourages us to think about them. Paul's example in Romans may seem unrelatable in the modern day but there are truths that can still be applied today, especially in the way we walk alongside our fellow believers in the face of minor disputes. Pastor Ulysses helps unpack these in this talk, highlighting modern day examples and explaining how conviction plays a role in how we should navigate them.

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues our series through the book of Romans with a message from chapter 13. In this passage, Paul addresses the Christian's relationship to governing authorities and reminds us that God remains sovereign over every earthly power. As we explore these sometimes challenging verses, we're encouraged to consider what faithful citizenship and faithful discipleship look like in an unbelieving world.

Does the love exhibited by the modern day church exhibit that of the cross? This past Sunday, Pastor Ulysses explores Romans 12:9–13, revealing how the mercies of God compel believers to cultivate deep, authentic relationships within the body of Christ. Through this message believers are challenged to renew our minds, reject hypocrisy, and practice a gospel-driven hospitality that treats the church like a true family.

This week, we continue our sermon series through the book of Romans as we cover the first two verses of chapter 12. In these verses, Paul makes an appeal to the Romans that they present themselves as a living sacrifice, but what does that mean for us? How can we interpret this message to inform how we walk out our faith? In today’s talk, Pastor Ulysses helps bring some clarity to this important calling, showing us how it ties to what Paul shared in the earlier chapters, and unpacking how Paul explained we can accomplish this in our lives: By rejecting conformity with the world and allowing our minds to be transformed by the Word of God.

In today’s talk, we continue our sermon series through the book of Romans with a talk by Pastor Jonathan as he dives into Romans 7. It is important that we recognize the severity of sin, but how should we respond? Today, Pastor Jonathan unpacks all this chapter has to say about sin, it's relationship to the law and how we stand as believers, encouraging us on what it means to be dead to sin, and why this truth need not make us comfortable with sin.

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues our study in Romans with a message from Romans 6:1–14. As Paul turns from what God has done for us to how we are called to live, we’re reminded that grace is not a license to sin, but it's the power that frees us from it. Through this passage, we’re invited to understand who we are in Christ and to live in light of that new reality.

In this message, Pastor Jonathan explores Romans 5:1-11, revealing how justification by faith brings us into a state of permanent peace and reconciliation with God. We discover how to anchor our heart in a hope that is truly secure, one that is is rooted in a love far greater than what the world can offer.

This week we begin the year with a message on faith. Today’s passage highlights a notable example demonstrated in the story of Moses, from which we can learn the true characteristics of faith. Pastor Ulysses guides us through these characteristics and encourages us to grow in this faith, showing us why it is important for us to do so and how we can take the first step towards this growth in the coming year.
