The book of Romans is a book that truly brings the great message of New Life. Paul is writing to the far off Roman believers. Many Jewish believers traveled to Rom and brought with them their faith in Jesus Christ. They were a strong lot as they had to withstand the social and political influence of the Roman ways. Paul teaches them in the book of Romans good doctrine. He expresses truths that transform the life.
I've been wanting to preach through this book for years. Today was the right time to start. I'm excited at analyzing the doctrines like Justification and working through phrases like "there is no condemnation to they who are in Christ Jesus."
Hoping everyone can be there the rest of the way to worship and learn.
On another note. This week I was introduced to one of the great testimonies of the year. It is the amazing and straightforward Christian conversion of a woman named Rosaria Butterfield. She had previously been a lesbian college professor at Syracuse University until a Presbyterian Pastor and his wife showed interest in her life and brought her to Jesus Christ. It is worth the time to listen.
