Romans 5:7-12

When Did God Begin to Love Us?

Romans 5 tells us that God demonstrated His love for us not when we were striving to live righteous lives, but while we were still pursuing sinful ones. If He loved us in that condition, how much more must He love us now that we belong to Christ?

Romans 5:1-6

The Results of Justification

Paul concludes that, through Christ, we now have peace with God, access to His grace, hope in tribulation, and the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

Join us as we welcome Pastor Jake Curtis as he shares with us. 

Jesus Christ “descended” and became what no other sacrifice could be; He, the Lamb of God, a the superior and perfect sacrifice for our sin. But even more, He rose to Life and “ascended” back into eternal glory as our superior and perfect Great-High Priest, offering what no other human priest could. He has become our life by offering us new life in Him; He is the LIFE who now sits upon His glorious throne of Grace, calling us to come to Him for all we need!

Romans 4:18-25

Fully Persuaded

Through Abraham’s faith, God credited righteousness to him. That same righteousness is given to us when we believe in Jesus, who justifies us.

Romans 4:13-17

The Faith of Abraham

The promises of God are made certain through faith. Galatians chapter three reminds us that Gentiles who share Abraham’s faith are now considered his children and recipients of God’s promises.

Romans 4:6-12

Happiness

Abraham and David found joy through faith. When we believe God, He credits righteousness to our account. At Christ’s return, the ledgers will be opened to reveal either blessing or judgment.

Far Reaching Ministries Update - Summer 2025

In 1996, former U.S. Marine Wes Bentley founded Far Reaching Ministries (FRM) after serving as a missionary in war-torn regions of Sudan, including Bahr El-Ghazal, Western Equatoria, the Nuba Mountains, and Southern Kordofan. By 1998, FRM expanded its efforts to South Sudanese refugee camps, primarily in Kiryandongo, Uganda, bringing hope to thousands of orphans and widows affected by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). Addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, FRM became a beacon for those suffering from ethnic and religious cleansing.

Today, FRM operates in 39 of the world’s most dangerous nations, deploying over 500 team members to share the hope of Jesus, disciple believers, and intervene for those trapped in cycles of death, violence, and poverty under oppressive regimes.

Committed to alleviating suffering, FRM rescues and rebuilds lives affected by Christian persecution, abduction, violence, rape, and war-induced humanitarian crises. The ministry provides essential aid, combats child sex trafficking and organ harvesting, and offers medical care, food, and shelter. More importantly, it introduces people to the love and hope found in Jesus Christ.

FRM is also dedicated to planting underground churches, discipling believers, and equipping them to return to their communities as Gospel witnesses. Its frontline workers include military-embedded chaplains, pastors, doctors, and ministry leaders, all working to transform lives and nations for Christ.
