Our culture isn’t collapsing by accident—and it isn’t decaying because the Gospel lost its power.

This Sunday, Pastor Marty unlocks a hard-hitting, essential message from Romans 1 on the Wrath of Abandonment. When a nation continually suppresses the truth, mocks God’s design, and demands its ultimate autonomy, God doesn’t need to strike it with lightning bolts. He simply steps back, removes His restraining grace, and lets society reap the bitter, chaotic harvest of its own choices.

A fallen world is locked in a prison of its own nature. Unregenerate humanity will not and cannot obey a Holy God on its own.

BUT PRAISE GOD, ROMANS DOESN'T END IN CHAPTER 1!

As Pastor Marty exposes, the story doesn't stop in the dark. From justification in chapter 3, to reconciliation in chapter 5, to no condemnation in chapter 8—there IS absolute hope in Jesus Christ!

The Church didn’t create the darkness around us, but we were explicitly commanded to be the light that pierces it. If a dead world cannot find God on its own, then WE are the connection pointing a perishing culture to the hope found in Christ's death, burial, and resurrection!

Believers - stop lamenting the state of our nation while ignoring our calling. We—the Church of the living God—have a job to do.

Be steadfast. Be immovable. Hold the line, shine the light, and do the work until He comes.

We hold the only message of hope that saves. DON’T BURY IT.
