In this text describing the depravity of our sinful nature, it is revealing that the Apostle Paul fixates on sins involving words. That is because it is our words that reveal the true state of our hearts (Luke 6:45). Listen as Pastor Josh shows us how the gospel can give us new hearts that overflow into new and life-giving words.

Passage: Romans 3:13-18

What does it mean to be human? This is the most pressing and divisive question of our day. Does it mean being true to ourselves? Does it mean being free from systemic oppression?

But in order to understand it, we need to take a deep look at the doctrine of sin. Listen as Pastor Josh explains what these verses teach us about our fallen human condition.

Even if we can understand why God judges those who received His law and failed to keep it, why would He judge those who never received it? Listen as Pastor Josh explains how the existence of Natural Law ensures that everyone is accountable before God.
