Romans 1: Idolatry, Sin, and The Hope of the Gospel

from The Vicar’s Study: Faith and Hope for an Unsteady World

The Gospel will always challenge us and in this day and age few passages challenge modern thinking and culture than Romans 1.  Fr. Chris unpacks this chapter and shows how suppression of the truth leads to the idolatry of self which can't help but manifest in how we conduct ourselves --sexually and otherwise.  But there is great hope for each of us in the Gospel and no sinner is beyond the reach of the mercy and grace of God.
