The Ultimate Rejection | Jamie Grisham

Jul 6, 2025    Jamie Grisham

Romans 1 isn’t just ancient history, it’s a mirror for today’s culture and condition.

In this message, Pastor Jamie Grisham walks us through Romans 1:16-32, showing how the power of the gospel still speaks to a broken world, calling us out of darkness and into the light of Christ.


“For I am not ashamed of the gospel… it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” (Romans 1:16)


Key Takeaways:

• The Gospel is Power: It’s not just teachings, it’s transformational truth. It crosses cultural lines and brings real change.

• God’s Wrath Is Real: His holiness demands a response to sin. Suppressing truth doesn’t erase accountability.

• Idolatry Today: When we replace God with anything else - pleasure, identity, status - we exchange glory for brokenness.

• God “Gave Them Up”: Not that He gave up on humanity, but He allowed them to chase their desires - which always leads to destruction.

• There Is Hope: Even in judgment, God’s grace is available. Christ came to redeem, forgive, and restore.


Like sunflowers made to follow the sun, we were created to face the Son. But when we turn away, we wither. The world is dark, but Jesus is the light.

This message will challenge, convict, and remind you why the gospel is still our only hope.


Watch, share, and let the Word do the work.
