The very first line of Paul's letter to the Romans reminds us that the message we preach and believe does not originate with us, but with God Himself. Paul presents himself not as an author, but as a servant and messenger, delivering what has been entrusted to him. That means the gospel isn’t ours to edit, soften, or reshape to fit our preferences. It is God’s truth, carrying God’s authority, and calling us to submit to it rather than stand over it.
Let’s turn our attention to Pastor Brian for this week’s sermon from Romans, chapter 1, verses 1 through 7, entitled, “Not My Gospel.” The first sermon in “UNASHAMED,” a brand new series through the book of Romans.
