In this message, we begin a new series titled, "He Gave Gifts." In this new series, Pastor Jeff Sheeks looks to Romans 5 to show us six precious gifts we receive as Christians. As we look to Romans 5:1, the first gift we reflect upon is peace with God. In receiving salvation, we have been justified by faith, and we now have peace with God. The barrier that has separated God from man has been broken down, and those who trust in him are made new.
