How Can I Know I'm Right With God? (Romans 3:9-26)

Pastor Jim begins a sermon series on the book of Romans, addressing questions about righteousness, suffering, God's plan, security in God's love, life after death, making a difference, and finding peace. He contrasts buffet-style spirituality with Bible-based beliefs at Emmanuel Fellowship Church, emphasizing the biblical narrative of God's redemption plan from Genesis to Revelation. The sermon explains sin's origins with Adam and Eve, its consequences, and God's promise of a Messiah for redemption fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Pastor Jim stresses salvation through faith in Jesus, highlighting God's grace, Jesus' sacrifice, and redemption available through him for a right standing with God.
