Through the cross, Jesus reconciles us to a relationship with God, a key aspect of the gospel. A relationship implies understanding, expression, and the very quality of being known. This week, we look at Romans in order to answer the question: How do we know we have seen God and why does it matter if we have?
This week we start a new series on the book of Romans - its main theme being how God, through Jesus, made the Gospel possible.
The Gospel and everything Jesus did to achieve it has many components, one of which is the subject of power. Our modern western society firmly believes power rests in our freedom to do whatever we want and say whatever we want, but we'll take a look at Romans chapter 1 to see if this is a full and accurate view of Gospel power.
We all have an inherent longing to make the world better, yet like many things in life we have failed to SEE WHAT or WHOM needs fixing in order for the world to actually get better. Culture tells us that we are basically good and that laws and science help us to become better people, but we have seen in history this isn't true. God has told us that we are all selfish and need to change our hearts over to Him in order to make a difference in the world.
We all have a wide variety of relationships to which we belong and give different levels of priority. Culture tells us which ones to prioritize even if we don't hear it, and Jesus says something about it even though we may not know it.
