Many Christians consider the book of Romans their favorite because of how clearly it teaches the gospel message. In part 2 of our series on Romans, Chris explores Paul’s teachings on the work of Christ and salvation from an Old Testament perspective. Paul ties the New Testament to the Old by teaching that all have sinned and need redemption—a need met by the perfect blood sacrifice of God’s Son, Jesus! Find comforting assurance this week knowing that we can find atonement and redemption in Christ!

Of all the people in the world, the apostle Paul said, the Jewish people need to hear the gospel most—but they also should understand God’s judgment better than all others.

As Chris opens a series on the transformational truths of the book of Romans this week, you’ll discover the life-changing, major focus of Romans: the hope of the gospel and the eternal redemption we can find in Christ!

The conclusion of our 4-part series on King David will lead you to rejoice at the faithfulness of our promise-keeping God and His Son, the Son of David!
