Weekend Messages at Grand Point Church

Two words carry the weight of the entire Gospel: "But now." After weeks in Romans establishing the depth of human sin and the impossibility of self-righteousness, Pastor Lawrence arrives at the hinge point of Paul's letter — Romans 3:21–26 — and unpacks six essential facets of God's righteousness. This episode covers justification, redemption, and atonement with clarity and depth, and explores why the Gospel feels too good to be true — and why you can receive it by faith anyway.

What if the things you've leaned on most in your spiritual life — your church attendance, your Bible knowledge, your Christian heritage — aren't what actually make you right with God?

Paul identifies four destructive patterns of religiosity — smugness, over-sensitivity, judgmentalism, and hypocrisy — an...

But in the middle of all of this, there is breathtaking hope — the One who will one day judge us ...

In this week's message, Pastor Lawrence digs into Romans 1:18-32 to show us that the best news ever actually starts with some bad news. God — the Great Physician — has given us a clear diagnosis: our world is sick, and we are the cause. But understanding what's wrong is the first step to receiving what's right. This episode explores the wrath of God (and why it's actually a sign of His goodness), two forms of truth suppression, what it means when "God gave them up," and why the gospel is trul...
