Christ's Death for Us

This week Pastor David continues the series on the book of Romans with a message titled "Christ's Death for Us" from Romans 5:6-11. In just six verses, Paul says "we" or "us" twelve times, walking through who we were, who we are, and who we will be. We were weak, ungodly, sinners, and enemies of God—yet we are loved, justified, reconciled, and rejoicing, and we will be saved. At the center of it all stands the death of Christ, which came at just the right time, counters our expectations (He died not for the righteous but for His enemies), reveals the love of God, guarantees our full salvation, produces our joy, and provides present reconciliation. The big idea: a right perspective of ourselves leads to a worshipful response to Christ's death. Whether you need to look back and remember what you were rescued from, look at what is presently yours in Christ, or look forward to the salvation that is certain, this message calls you to fix your eyes on the cross—and to make meditating on the death of Christ a lasting habit that produces a whole fountain of rejoicing. 📖 Scripture: Romans 5:6-11 ⛪ Christ Community Church, Ripon 🎙️ Pastor David Morris #Romans #ChristsDeath #TheCross #Reconciliation #Gospel #Justification #ChristCommunityChurch #Sermon #BibleTeaching
