Romans: The Gospel According To Paul … Part 10
Published: August 7, 2024We began this series from the perspective that our time is short and we should make sure we're ordering what's left of it around the Lord's priorities for us.

Romans: The Gospel According To Paul … Part 4
Published: July 17, 2024Romans 5 and 6
Paul spent the better part of three chapters showing us man's desperate need for a savior. Any righteousness we can earn on our own is clearly inadequate to meet God's standards. We need to acquire a righteousness equal to His in order to dwell in His presence.
