Rising Above the Trauma

Anxiety, chronic sadness, fear or anger can result from a world addicted to “bad news”. The messages of today invade the peace of even the strongest Christian. However, Paul models a Christlike mindset to the Romans that allows us to rise above the trauma of today’s world.

Serving God and People Through Prayer

One of the greatest missionaries, Paul, appeals to the church by Christ Himself and by the love they have because of the Holy Spirit to pray for him, that words may be given to him so that he will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel and also for his deliverance. Paul believed that prayer was effective, powerful, and necessary.

There is No Other Name

No other force in history can unify a disparate church like the supremely powerful Jesus Christ. Paul must lay a bedrock foundation In order for the rich theology to follow. He begins with the best point, the only point that truly matters, and opens his theological treatise with the idea that Jesus Christ is the only name, and that there is no other name under heaven by which mankind can be saved.

Called Forth

The Book of Romans was written during a pivotal moment in the Early Church. Only a miracle would save the Church from disappearing entirely. But Jesus said, “I will build My church and the gates of hell would not prevail against it.” Jesus is still building, right? And as it was in the Early Church, today Romans continues to be foundational for our personal faith, and further, for the advancement of the Body of Christ.

From Good to Great

What’s the difference between a “good” church and a “great” church? What’s the difference between a good Christian and a great Christian? Most believers would have a lot to say about that.
