Episode 150 - Fall Renewal

Roots & Branches has reached another mini-milestone, and we celebrate with Psalm 150 and an overview of the rest of our year-long sermon series in the Book of Romans. (Go back and listen to Episode 100 if you’d like a more thorough recap of the origin story of this podcast.) Before focusing on Rom. 12:1-2 (a consistent theme throughout our 150 episodes), Pastor Brent reviews the four main sections of Romans: ch. 1-4 reveals our sin and God’s righteousness; ch. 5-8 transforms us into a new humanity; ch. 9-11 fulfills the OT promises to Israel; and ch. 12-16 unifies the church under Christ. The last major section of this beloved and theologically seminal book is crucial for Christians seeking to apply the doctrine of the first 11 chapters. Pastor Paul’s commentary on transformational renewal includes a juggling analogy and a glimpse into the ministry life of Elijah, with a benediction from Rom. 11:33-36.
