4. Romans 1:5 (1-25-23)

4. Romans 1:5 Pastor Phil Ballmaier Calvary Chapel Elk Grove (1-25-23) Tonight, Pastor Phil focuses on one of the most important focuses of Paul's ministry—teaching the whole Gospel of God, and the necessity of repentance in the life of a believer. Repentance is a word that many preachers shy away from these days by peppering in only the 'feel good' scriptures. What is repentance? It's a change of direction in our lives... Turning away from sin, confessing it before God that He can cleanse us, and allow The Holy Spirit to then empower us to walk uprightly. Let's join Pastor Phil as he expounds on this very important topic. Often referred to as the Gospel according to Paul, and the greatest book ever written, Paul's letter to the Romans will become our focus as Pastor Phil continues to lead us through the Word of God. In the first 17 verses of this letter, Paul is introducing himself to the Christians in Rome. As an apostle, and a bondservant separated by the Gospel.. The people of this region didn't quite know him yet and it was imperative by Paul to reiterate the foundations of faith in Jesus, the incarnate Son of God, and the Resurrection Lord. Without full belief in these two imperatives, one cannot call themselves a Spirit-filled Christian. Let's see how Pastor Phil begins to outline this. Calvary Chapel Elk Grove is a non-denominational fellowship located in Roselle, a northwest suburb of Chicago in Illinois.
