Illustrate the story of Moses at ...read more

    This is an expository sermon of Romans chapter 3 teaching reliance on Christ through faith for salvation.

    While turning to Romans Chapter 3, I’d like to ask you a couple of general questions. Most of us would agree that we are saved by grace. Should we then do good? Of course we should! We should then do good, after we are saved by grace. But let me ask you this: what does doing good do for you? ...read more
