Romans: In View of God’s Mercy 1:1-17   Join us this Sunday as we begin a new series in the book of Romans. The letter to the Romans was written by Paul in AD 57. Here, Paul writes to churches that he has never met, never visited. Christians in Rome face many of the same challenges and opportunities that we presently face. They lived in a world that made many promises and gloried in itself. Paul writes to instruct them on a proper theology of Christ and of salvation, critical issues they will need to understand as they live in a world that is not their home.   In the introduction of Paul’s letter, Paul stresses that the good news of the gospel does not involve the righteousness or work of human beings for God. This is truly good news! This is boundary-breaking, unity-forming, burden-lifting good news! Join us this week to learn the circumstances behind the writing of this letter as we begin this journey together!   Pastor Nate Roschen
