The Bible Journey - Intro to Romans & Chapter 1-3 - Midweek Connect

Описание: Welcome to The Bible Journey! We've completed the narrative books (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts) and now we're diving into Paul's letters, starting with the powerful book of Romans!
Pastor Mark Green sets the stage for this incredible journey through one of Scripture's most theologically rich books. Whether you're a logical thinker, love imagery, or crave deep theology, Romans has something for you!
Historical Context:
When Emperor Claudius expelled Jews from Rome, Gentile Christians continued the church for 5 years. When Jewish Christians returned, they found a church drastically different—leading to major tensions about how to follow Jesus. Paul writes Romans to address this conflict and unite the church around the gospel.
In This Episode:
📖 Paul's thesis statement (Romans 1:14-17)
📖 Understanding two KEY words: Righteousness & Justification
📖 God's response to unrighteousness (Romans 1:18-32)
📖 Why the law alone cannot save us
📖 The true meaning of circumcision—it's about the heart
📖 How Christ is our "mercy seat" and propitiation
📖 Why NO ONE can boast before God
Central Question: Do you truly know what the gospel is? Does it penetrate every part of your life?
This Week's Reading: Romans 1-3
