Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to hear the Apostle Paul preach? He was brilliant and anointed by God to preach the Gospel to the non-Jewish world. What would it have been like to listen to him present the Gospel, one step at a time? Well, that is what the Book of Romans is all about. The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to write the most precise form of the Gospel and addressed it as the capital city. Paul had yet to go to Rome. Paul was not the one who started the church in Rome. He is sending this letter ahead and hopes to follow soon. Paul likely already had several friends there and couldn't wait to join them.

The theme of Romans is timeless: The Most Beautiful Thing in All Creation is that the Creator Came For Us.

The theme verse: (Romans 1:16) For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes.

Let's enjoy a master orator inspired by the Holy Spirit as he lays out the wonder of the Gospel for us. Let's dig in and see what treasures are here too. Remember. The more we dig, the more we find.

Let’s take this journey together.
