Faith Alone: No Boasting Allowed, Part 2

In part two of this message from Romans 3:27–31, we continue to see how Paul confronts pride and division by reminding the church in Rome of the gospel. No one can boast, because we bring nothing but our need. The ground at the foot of the cross is level. Everyone comes to salvation the same way--by grace through faith through Jesus. That is the beauty of Romans 3:27–31. It takes proud people and humbles them, unites them, sends them, and transforms them. All for the glory of God.

After spending the first three chapters of Romans leveling the ground beneath every human being and confirming that there is no one righteous, Paul says this realization that salvation is by faith alone and we can't earn it on our own, it leaves us silent before God with no room to boast. When God gave His only Son on Calvary's cross to make the way for us to have a right relationship with Him, how dare we think we can earn it any other way.

This message from Romans 3:21–26 centers on the heart of the gospel—how guilty sinners are made right with a holy God. Paul shows that righteousness is revealed, not achieved, and received by faith alone. Through justification, redemption, and propitiation, we see how Jesus satisfies God’s justice and extends mercy. The result is freedom from performance, shame, and despair, and a humble confidence rooted in Christ’s finished work.

In Romans 3:1–20, Paul brings every heart to the same place before a holy God. This message confronts our excuses, self-justification, and religious confidence, showing that God is faithful even when we are not, that no one is righteous on their own, and that the law leaves us with no defense. When every mouth is shut, grace finally has room to speak, preparing us for the hope of the gospel.

In Romans 2:17-29, Paul confronts the danger of being close to the truth without being changed by it. He warns against outward religion, spiritual pride, and misplaced confidence. In the same way that the Jews relied on their "Jewishness," church people today can rely on their baptism, church membership or Bible reading. God has always desired heart transformation, not mere knowledge or ritual. True faith flows from an inward heart transformation by the Spirit of God.

In this message, Pastor Randy lays out the vision for The Station Church for 2026. In John 10, Jesus reveals Himself as the Gate and the Good Shepherd who offers abundant life to His followers. This message challenges us to examine the voices we follow and invites us to live the 10:10 Life by asking ourselves the questions: Where are we belonging? Who are we discipling? Who are we serving? And where are we going?

The ultimate model for an Even If faith is Jesus Christ. In this message from Matthew 26 and Jesus's prayer in the garden, we learn that an "Even If" faith is one that is obedient to God, even if it costs you everything. This is the culminating message from this year's DiscipleNow weekend.

Standing on the edge of promise, God calls His people to preparation before movement. From Joshua 3 and Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, this message reminds us that God shapes our hearts before He advances our steps. As we consecrate ourselves and seek first His kingdom, we learn to trust God’s presence to lead us—into new seasons, new obedience, and the wonders He has ahead.

This Christmas message from Galatians 4:4–6 flows out of Romans 1–2 to show how God responded to the darkness of the human heart. When the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son to redeem sinners and adopt them into His family. Christmas is not humanity reaching for God, but God stepping into our darkness with redeeming, adopting grace.

In Romans 2:1–16, Paul turns from condemning pagan Gentiles to confronting religious Jews who assumed they were exempt from God’s judgment. He exposes self-righteousness, reveals God’s impartial judgment, and shows that all people are accountable—by the Law they know or the conscience they bear. Yet before judgment comes, God displays His kindness, patience, and mercy, ultimately revealed in Jesus Christ.
