This Sunday we start our new year long series in the Book of Romans! This will be a rich study in what some consider the greatest letter in the New Testament. It's Paul's magnum opus! And it's all about the Gospel of Grace, as well as how to make sense of the Old Testament in the light of Jesus!

Houston, we have a problem! Last Sunday we started our new series in the book of Romans by looking at Paul's thesis statement for Romans - that the Gospel is God's power to save everyone! Starting this Sunday, Paul begins to defend that thesis. Why the gospel? Why is it so needed? Why can't there be some other way? Paul forcefully begins to give an answer to those questions in the second half of chapter 1. This Sunday... Romans 1:18-32.

It was all a set up. That's what last week's text was, Romans 1:18-32. This Sunday we'll revisit that text and the downward spiral of humanity and the decadence of a corrupt culture flowing from the Fall... and THEN see how Paul springs his trap in Romans 2:1-16. Paul was just setting you and me up.

If salvation is really a free gift and not dependent on how we live, then why can't we just live anyway we want? That is the question that Paul asks as we move into Part Two of Romans, beginning with Romans chapter 6. And once he answers that question, the rest of Romans 6 (and Romans 7 and 8) is all about how real transformation happens.

Paul in our Romans text for this Sunday (Romans 6:15-23) says that we are no longer a slave to sin but have become a slave of righteousness. I personally used to struggle with that verse until I learned the secret of what that verse really means. That secret is shared in this message.

Romans 8 is the chapter everyone loves. Romans 9 is the chapter everybody skips. In this message we begin a new section in Romans 9-11 which on the surface appears to be about happy-fun topics like election and predestination. But it's actually about something else. And that 'something else' happens to be the key to the entire book of Romans.

Romans 9 to 11 is not about divine election. It's about global evangelism. It's the "missions link" that is often the "missing link" from most studies of the book of Romans. In this message we look at Romans 10:1-15 where Paul uses that missions link to start to pull it all together.

After eleven chapters of Romans giving theology and doctrine, maybe you're the type of person who says, don't give me theory... just tell me what to do! Be careful what you ask for. In our text for this message we have only five verses but in them are twelve marks of the church - twelve things we're to do as Christians!
