8/1/21 Sunday’s Sermon by Nick Perez
Unashamed: Why the Church Proclaims the Gospel
Romans 1:16-17, ESV,- For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
