In this sermon on Romans 1:16–23, Pastor Blaine highlights Paul’s declaration that he is “not ashamed of the gospel,” because it is God’s power for salvation to all who believe. The gospel reveals God’s righteousness, given as a gift through faith, and stands as the only true rescue from sin and judgment. Blaine emphasizes that faith is not rooted in our effort but in Christ’s finished work, credited to us as righteousness. He then unpacks how humanity suppresses the truth of God revealed in creation, exchanging His glory for idols, and becoming darkened in heart and futile in thinking. The message calls us to see both the weight of God’s wrath and the hope of His righteousness, reminding us that only by understanding the depth of our sin can we truly grasp the glory of Christ’s salvation.
