Childlike Rejoicing

Childlike Rejoicing: Peace With God Through Christ | Romans 5:1–11 | Pastor Zach Terry

What if Christian joy isn't based on winning?

In Romans 5:1–11, Pastor Zach Terry explores one of the greatest truths of the gospel: because we have been justified by faith, we can rejoice no matter our circumstances.

Drawing from G.K. Chesterton's classic poem The Ballad of the White Horse, this message reminds us that the Christian life is not lived by calculating odds or guaranteeing outcomes. We serve, sacrifice, endure, and stand for truth because Christ has already secured our peace with God.

In this sermon, you'll discover:

• What it means to have peace with God

• Why suffering produces hope rather than despair

• How God's love is poured into the hearts of believers

• The assurance Christ provides through His death and resurrection

• Why Christians can live with childlike joy in an uncertain world

Because Christ has justified us, reconciled us, and secured our future, we are free to build, serve, love, and persevere with joy.
