Is Grace a License to Sin? Paul’s definitive answer in Romans 3. | No Excuses

Описание: In this message, Pastor Mike returns to the book of Romans to tackle one of its most challenging sections. He addresses the trap of fragmented theology—the tendency to pick and choose which parts of God's Word to follow based on convenience. The sermon explores why being "religious" or having a certain heritage isn't enough, and why God’s grace is never an excuse for a lack of holiness. Romans 3:1-8
