Romans: The Gospel According To Paul … Part 10
Published: August 10, 2020We 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 9
Published: August 5, 2020Romans 9 spoke of God's sovereign election of Israel as His chosen.

Romans: The Gospel According To Paul … Part 4
Published: July 20, 2020Romans 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.

But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
