In this message, Pastor Byron explores Jesus’s teaching in John 15 about abiding in the vine, explaining that fruitfulness in the Christian life comes not from self-effort but from remaining connected to Christ. He emphasizes that believers are called to bear fruit that remains—lasting spiritual impact that endures beyond our lifetime—and that this happens through intimate relationship with Jesus rather than religious activity.

In this message, Pastor Byron explores the profound truth that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not through works or human effort, drawing from Romans 3 and Ephesians 2. He emphasizes that while we are saved by grace through faith, genuine belief naturally produces good works as evidence of a transformed life—explaining that we are saved for good works, not by them.

In this message, Pastor Byron explores the profound mystery of the incarnation—how Jesus, fully God, became fully man to dwell among us and bring salvation. Drawing from John 1, he explains how Christ embodies both the creative Word who spoke the universe into existence and the compassionate Savior who took on human flesh to reconcile us to God. This teaching invites listeners to marvel at the depth of God’s love demonstrated through Jesus becoming one of us while remaining eternally divine.

This is the first in a six-message series entitled “The Bad News that Leads to Good News”.

In this message, Pastor Byron completes Romans chapter 1 by addressing God’s divine abandonment of rebellious humanity and the consequences that follow, including sexual perversion and moral decay. Through careful examination of God’s word and character, he explains how man—not God—sends himself to judgment by suppressing truth, and reminds believers to separate the sin from the sinner while standing firm on biblical truth with love.

In this message, Pastor Byron addresses the difficult question “Is God really fair?” by examining Romans 1:18-25, showing how mankind suppresses and perverts the truth about God, leading to divine abandonment and judgment. He demonstrates that God’s wrath is not capricious anger but the righteous response of a perfectly just and holy God, and that man chooses his own destiny by rejecting truth rather than God sending anyone to hell.
