For some reason due to technical difficulties or the inability to push right buttons, two other sermons from Romans (part 1 and 3) were not recorded. This is a new series from Paul's letter to the Romans on Sunday mornings. It is a key book in understanding God's glorious underserved grace. It is bread for the soul and wine for the heart. Here are a few quotes to whet the interest.

The Letter to the Romans stands as Paul’s greatest contribution to Holy Scripture in elucidating the profound nature of God’s grace in our redemption in Jesus Christ. Martin Luther was right to suggest that this epistle is “daily bread for the soul”, because the Gospel declared, defined and defended in simple terms is what the Christian believer needs everyday for staying healthy and walking in the right way. Our week to week exposition of Romans, will do three things, by God’s help: remind us of our inability to be righteous and good; secondly reveal the importance of free gift of God’s grace and underserved righteousness; and thirdly how grace reorients our relationships in the Body of Christ as effective witnesses to all nations.

Pastor Baucum

“St. Paul wanted to comprise briefly in this one Epistle the whole Christian and evangelical doctrine and to prepare an introduction to the entire Old Testament; for, without doubt, he who has this Epistle well in his heart, has the light and power of the Old Testament with him. Therefore let every Christian live and abide in it always.” Martin Luther

“If one understands Paul’s letter to the Romans, one has a sure road opened to an understanding of the most hidden treasures in the whole Scripture.” John Calvin

“Paul’s epistle to the Romans has been regarded as the high peak of the Bible, the place where all the main biblical themes are brought together and displayed in a single panoramic sweep.” J.I. Packer

“

Romans is all about the revelation of God’s righteousness in freely offering salvation to all people through faith.” Rev. Paul Barnett, Australian Anglican
