Описание: Romans 1 Explained | Why the Gospel Has to Be God’s Power (Romans 1:16–32)
Why does Paul move so quickly from “I am not ashamed of the gospel” to a hard description of sin, judgment, and human rebellion?
In this Wednesday night teaching, we walk through Romans 1:16–32 as a single, unified argument. Paul is not ranting, targeting certain sins, or trying to shame the world. He is explaining why the gospel has to be God’s power—because when humanity pushes God to the margins, everything eventually unravels.
This session explores:
Why Romans begins with identity before instruction
How Romans 1:16–17 functions as the hinge of the entire letter
What Paul means by the wrath of God being “revealed”
Why sin begins with misdirected worship, not just bad behavior
What “God gave them over” really means—and what it doesn’t
How disorder moves from worship, to desire, to thinking, to community
Why Romans 1 prepares the way for grace in Romans 2 and 3
This is not a culture-war message.
It’s a careful, pastoral walk through the logic of Romans—helping us read Paul the way he intended to be read.
