The sermon delivered by Pastor Josh Massaro on May 25, 2025, at Middletown Baptist Church examines the profound implications of sin and the necessity for salvation, as articulated in Romans Chapter 1. The crux of the message posits that humanity's inherent sinfulness leads to a state of separation from God, highlighting the urgent need for a Savior. Pastor Massaro elucidates that the wrath of God is revealed against ungodliness and unrighteousness, emphasizing that all individuals, without exception, are deserving of divine judgment due to their transgressions. However, the grace afforded through faith in Jesus Christ offers redemption and justification, liberating believers from the condemnation of sin. The pastor calls upon the congregation to acknowledge their need for God's righteousness and to boldly proclaim the Gospel, for it is through this truth that one may experience true freedom and eternal life.
