romans 1-7: live by faith

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Romans has been the most influential book in the New Testamen when it comes to the theology of the church. Dive into the first 7 chapters of this iconic letter from the apostle Paul to the church in Rome in order to engage with Paul’s thoughts on the problem of humanity, God’s response to the problem, and how the Christian life is to be lived. Romans is Paul’s thorough presentation of what it means to be a Christian, making it the perfect candidate for a small group study.
