St. Paul Lutheran Church, Matteson, Illinois & Pastor Troester

In Christ we are set free from judgment for our sin and set free from sin, death and the devil, but we have a new Master now, Jesus Christ, and now we have the joy of being a servant to everyone.

Opening our eyes to Christian marriage and faithfulness, along with being faithful in all walks of life.

More direction on the Christian life, empower by the Gospel of forgiveness and grace in Christ Jesus.

Instructions in living a Christ-filled, Christ's love motivated, and eternity bound person in Christ, on the topic of lawsuits among them and sexual immorality.

The danger of sexual sins which erode God's gifts of marriage and family, and how Christians should respond in love and care for fellow Christians who fall into this sin.

As a faithful servant, steward of God's mysteries, Pastor for those in Corinth, Paul corrects and admonishes them to Christ.

As we mature in faith in Christ Jesus, we understand the folly of our wisdom and the power of God's Wisdom in saving us through the death and resurrection of Jesus, and our Christian calling as God's People.

We proclaim Christ crucified which we understand only by faith through the work of the Holy Spirit who makes us to understand God, which we cannot do by our wisdom.

With all our wisdom and power, we don't see God, but God sent His only Son, to do for us what we could not do, which is make a way for us to come back to Him through Jesus.

Paul wraps up this letter to the church in Rome with greeting many brothers and sisters in Christ, telling them to watch out for those who cause division, and giving all glory to God!
