SERMON SCRIPTURE: Romans 3:23–26

SERMON SYNOPSIS: We begin with the sobering truth: all have sinned. God’s justice demands a reckoning, but His love provides a way. This message lays the foundation for why atonement is necessary and introduces the divine tension between justice and mercy — a tension resolved in Christ.

Memory Verse: Romans 3:23 — “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
