This is the sermon podcast from Celina First Church of God. Thanks for taking a few minutes to listen in.
This week we continue our walk through Romans, looking at what it means to have a faith that is actually known. Not just something we claim, but something that shows up when life gets hard. In this passage, Paul points to a group of believers whose faith was being talked about everywhere, and then explains why he is not ashamed of the gospel.
In this message, we explore how faith is tested through hardship, how it becomes visible when it is lived out unashamed, and how the strength to stand does not come from us, but from the power of the gospel itself.
If you have ever wrestled with holding onto your faith in difficult moments or wondered where the strength to keep going comes from, this message will walk through that honestly and clearly.

Welcome to the sermon podcast from Celina First Church of God. We are glad you are listening along.
This week we begin a brand new series walking through the book of Romans. This is not a quick series. It is a slow and intentional journey through one of the most important and theologically rich books in all of Scripture.
In this opening message from Romans 1:1–7, we take time to set the table. We look at who Paul is, who he is writing to, and why that matters for us today. Along the way, we are reminded that God uses surrendered people, that the church is meant to be united around Jesus, and that our primary identity is found in being servants of Christ.
If you have ever wanted to go deeper in your faith and better understand the foundation of the gospel, this is a great place to begin.

If you missed Easter at Celina First, this message walks through why the resurrection of Jesus matters far beyond just the promise of heaven. We look at how the empty tomb confirms that it is finished, and how that same power shows up in our lives right now. Using the story of Lazarus, this sermon challenges us to consider where we may still be stuck and what it looks like to step into new life. It is a clear and practical look at the hope of Easter, both for eternity and for today.

In today’s message, we continue our Final Week series by looking at the cross and Jesus’ words, “It is finished.” This sermon walks through what Jesus meant by that statement, tracing the problem of sin from the beginning, the role of the sacrificial system, and how Jesus fulfills it completely. We also wrestle with the tension of why life can still feel unfinished, even though Christ has paid the debt in full. Ultimately, this message points us to the truth that the cross secured the payment, and the resurrection confirms the victory.

In this message, we take a close look at what we are calling “the Peter problem.” Peter was bold and confident in his faith, yet he quickly fell into denial and disobedience when things became difficult. His story exposes two struggles we all face, spiritual pride and selective obedience.
But Peter’s story does not end in failure. The resurrection of Jesus changes everything, showing us that Christ is Lord and that His way leads to life, even when it feels like loss. This sermon challenges us to examine where we may be overconfident or resistant to Jesus and to trust Him fully in every area of our lives.

Today’s sermon comes from the final week of Jesus’ life and focuses on a powerful moment that took place during the Last Supper. Pastor Dean Calvin walks through the scene where Jesus washes the feet of His disciples and shows what true humility and service look like. In a moment that surprised the disciples, Jesus demonstrated that greatness in the kingdom of God is not about status but about serving others. This message invites us to reconsider how we lead, how we treat people, and what it really means to follow Christ.
