We begin a new series through the New Testament book of Romans. Romans was a letter written by the Apostle Paul to Christians in Rome with hopes of visiting them and partnering with them to extend the Gospel to Spain. Romans is unique among Paul's letters because he'd never been to Rome and had no part in planting the church there. In many ways, Romans was Paul's "missionary introduction letter" to the church there. He lays out Christian theology with exquisite detail, making Romans one of the most important theological documents ever written. But he also addresses some of the cultural issues happening in Rome and the Roman church—especially some tension between Jewish and Gentile Christians. Pastor Josh lays out the contextual backgound to Romans, then works through Paul's introduction (the first 17 verses). We've been set apart to help all people flourish through faith in Jesus Christ!
