Episode Synopsis

When people join a club or organization, it indicates that they are united…there is something they share in common with one another. That is a central feature of the book of Romans as well. Paul is writing to a group of people who were a part of the church in Rome. Many of them had a Jewish background that united them. Others had a Gentile background that united them. But the unique feature for them all was that despite their independent backgrounds, there was something else that was uniting them, and that was a common faith in Jesus Christ. And throughout Romans, the author Paul is pointing out that what also unites them is being justified through the grace of Jesus Christ…a grace that changes everything.
In today's message we will see that Paul is going to take that one step further and show us that our unity isn’t just with other people whose lives have been changed by the grace of Jesus. There is a different sort of unity on his mind, and that has to do with the fact that the believer is also United with Christ.
We invite you to listen in to our sermon today from Pastor Jeff, as we continue our series through the book of Romans.
