Sin
Romans 3:23-24
Nobody wants a sermon series that opens on sin. Pastor Mark Addis starts the Road to Salvation there anyway, with Romans 3:23, and points out that Paul did not put a period at the end of it.
Watch the messageRoad to Salvation
Five weeks through Romans, from sin to grace to new life in Christ.
From sin to grace to new life.
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”
Romans 3:23-24
What does it mean to be saved? Road to Salvation walks the clear path the book of Romans lays out, one verse at a time. We taught it at New Hope over five Sundays in the fall of 2022.
The series follows the Romans road from our need, in sin, to God's love at the cross, to our eternal destiny, to the simple way of receiving salvation, and finally to the new life that follows. It's the gospel, plainly told and freely offered.

God's Love
Romans 5:8
Most of us quietly believe God loves us more on our good weeks. Pastor Mark Addis works through Romans 5:8, John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 13, and takes apart the idea that anything we do moves his love up or down.

Eternal Destiny
Romans 6:23
God is love, and God also hates. Pastor Tim Rolen preaches Romans 6:23 and Proverbs 6:16-19 on the two eternal destinations, and argues that a generation of preachers has left one half of that out.

How to Gain Salvation
Romans 10:1-13
Pastor Tim Rolen opens by admitting the sermon title is wrong. You cannot gain salvation. Romans 10:1-13 says it is received, not earned, and the word at the centre of it is one a lot of people have quietly retired.
Watch the message
New Life
Romans 8:1
What actually changes after someone is saved? Pastor Mark Addis closes the Road to Salvation series on Romans 8:1, then spends the message on the most violent opponent the early church had, and what happened to him on a road to Damascus.
