Romans: In View of God’s Mercy

1:1-17

 

Join us this Sunday as we begin a new series in the book of Romans. The letter to the

Romans was written by Paul in AD 57. Here, Paul writes to churches that he has never

met, never visited. Christians in Rome face many of the same challenges and

opportunities that we presently face. They lived in a world that made many promises

and gloried in itself. Paul writes to instruct them on a proper theology of Christ and of

salvation, critical issues they will need to understand as they live in a world that is not

their home.

 

In the introduction of Paul’s letter, Paul stresses that the good news of the gospel

does not involve the righteousness or work of human beings for God. This is truly

good news! This is boundary-breaking, unity-forming, burden-lifting good news! Join

us this week to learn the circumstances behind the writing of this letter as we begin

this journey together!
