The first sermon in our Gospel Essential series was called "God Is." From Revelation 4, we saw that the gospel begins with God who is the holy, almighty, eternal Creator, seated on the throne and worthy of worship. Today, we will see a stark contrast as we turn to Romans 3 for a sermon entitled "We Are." Today, we hear the bad news that we are sinners, all of us, accountable to God and unable to save ourselves.
