The book of Romans provides one of the most systematic and extended presentations of the Gospel in all of Scripture. In the process it releases the soul saving, life shaping, power of God in the hearts and lives of all those who would hear it with faith. Our goal in this sermon series is to preach that Gospel message with full confidence in its power and, even more, to hear it with the faith which will release that power at the very core of our being. At the heart of Pastor Larry Kroon’s sermon today will be the theme text of this entire Gospel series: Romans1:16-17.
