In this message, Pastor Finu unpacks Romans 7:7–25 to show how the gospel reframes our struggle with sin. In a world that expects perfection or excuses failure, Paul admits he does what he hates—and that very fight proves he's alive in Christ. The law isn't the villain; it's the UV light exposing what was always there. This righteousness isn't self-powered—it's Christ-powered. The message confronts despair, disarms doubt, and invites us to stop hiding and start crying out. This sermon challenges both strugglers and pretenders to drop the performance, embrace the war as worship, and live in the freedom of grace that lifts us higher.

Pastor Chris delivers a powerful, practical message on Romans 7:1-6, unpacking Paul's revolutionary claim: "You are not under law, but under grace." (Rom 6:14) Using the analogy of marriage and death, Paul shows how Christ's death becomes our death — freeing us from the law's condemnation and binding us to the risen Jesus in a new covenant of grace. Pastor Chris closes with a guided prayer over each fruit of the Spirit, inviting the Holy Spirit to highlight one area for growth. Whether you're wrestling with legalism, guilt, or wondering how to live free in Christ — this message will shift your perspective on grace, freedom, and transformation.

Welcome to the final week of our Relationships Anonymous series at Village Church! In this powerful sermon, Pastor Finu Iype dives into the topic of parenting, emphasizing that it's not just hard work—it's holy work. Drawing from Psalm 139:13 and Jeremiah 1:5, Pastor Finu reminds us that children are not accidents but divine assignments with a purpose from God.

In this message from the "Relationships Anonymous" series, Senior Pastor Finu addresses conflict in relationships, framing it as a discipleship and worship issue rather than just a relational challenge. Drawing from James 4:1 and Matthew 5:23-24, he emphasizes that conflicts stem from prideful desires and hinder worship, urging believers to pursue humility and reconciliation.

Grant also reframes singleness as a gift to steward and calls the church to unite across generations through intentional discipleship.

In this message, Pastor Finu unpacks Romans 5:12–21 to show how humanity's story is divided between two representatives: Adam and Christ. Through Adam came sin and death, and through Christ comes grace and life. We do not simply struggle with bad habits, we carry a sinful nature that needs rescue. The good news is that Jesus, the new Adam, offers justification, reconciliation, and transformation as a free gift. Where sin abounds, grace abounds even more. In Christ, we move from death to life and are invited to reign in his power and grace.

In this message, Pastor Chris unpacks Romans 5:1-11 to show how justification by faith transforms not only our eternity but our present life. Because of Jesus, we have peace with God, access to his grace, and joy that endures even through suffering. Paul reminds us that hardship produces endurance, character, and hope. And this hope will not disappoint, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Spirit. At the center of it all is the staggering truth that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. If God loved us then, how much more does he love us now as his children?

In this message from Pastor Finu, we explore Romans 4:13-25 and the kind of faith that stands firm when life feels impossible. Abraham's story shows us that righteousness is not earned through works or law but credited through faith in a God who raises the dead and creates what does not yet exist. Faith is not blind optimism but trust in God's character and promises, even when reality looks hopeless. Like Abraham, our failures do not define us, God's faithfulness does. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, we are credited with righteousness and invited to rest in the assurance of God's grace. What if faith is not about trying harder, but about letting go and trusting the One who always catches us?

In this message from Pastor Chris, we explore Romans 4:1-12 to see how God's plan for salvation has never changed. Using Abraham and David as examples, Paul shows that we are made right with God by faith, not by works or religious rituals. Our culture teaches that worth must be earned, but the gospel declares that God's love is given before we do anything to deserve it. Faith is more than belief, it is trusting in what Jesus has already done and living in the freedom it brings. This truth frees us from striving, condemnation, and fear, so we can live out of gratitude rather than obligation.

In this message, Pastor Michael unpacks Romans 3:27-31 to show how the gospel dismantles our obsession with proving ourselves. In a world built on resumes and performance, Paul declares that we are justified not by what we do, but by faith in what Jesus has done. This righteousness is not earned, it is received as a gift of grace. The message confronts pride, disarms shame, and invites us to stop pretending and start trusting. This sermon challenges both skeptics and believers to surrender the resume, embrace Christ, and live in the freedom of being fully accepted by God.

In this message, Pastor Andrew unpacks Romans 3:21-26 to show how the gospel frees us from the crushing weight of performance. We are all broken and fall short of God's glory, yet Jesus offers a righteousness we could never earn, he gives it as a gift of grace. Through the cross, we are invited to trust God as a loving Father and receive a new identity as his sons and daughters. This sermon challenges both skeptics and believers to stop striving, embrace grace, and discover the life-changing power of faith in Jesus.

In this message from Pastor Chris, we continue our journey through Romans by confronting one of Paul's most sobering arguments, no one is righteous. Not the Gentile, not the Jew, not even the most devout or well-intentioned among us. Through Romans 3, we're reminded that every gift or advantage we've received is a commission, not an exemption. God remains faithful even when people fail us. And while transformation stories may inspire, our identity must be rooted in Jesus alone. The law reveals our sin, but only grace brings rescue. In the end, the Gospel doesn't flatter us. It saves us.

In this message from Pastor Victor, we examine Paul's bold confrontation in Romans 2, where he turns the lens from gentile sin to the self-righteousness of Jewish believers. We often think of sin as external, but Paul dives into the idols of the heart, exposing the illusion of moral superiority and the myth of self-determination. We are reminded that true salvation is not earned or progressed toward, it's a complete overhaul of our inner being. We don't need better behavior, we need a new heart. This sermon calls us to trade self-made righteousness for the transforming power of the Spirit, who alone can bring life to what is dead.

In this message, Pastor Michael unpacks one of the most sobering sections of Romans, where Paul describes humanity's suppression of the truth and the consequences of idolatry. We see how rejecting God's rightful place leads to disordered desires, brokenness, and judgment. Yet, woven through this diagnosis is the incredible mercy of God. Who, in His wrath against sin, offers grace through the cross of Christ. This sermon challenges us to stop justifying sin, to see ourselves honestly, and to marvel at the gospel that saves.
