After rejoicing in the good news of Romans 8, Paul's heart is struck with grief when he wrestles with God's plan for his own people, the Israelites, in Romans 9. Yet the apostle calls his readers to recognize God's sovereign authorship of all things.

Elder Jason Burch teaches on Abraham's faith in God and His promises in Romans 4:17-25.

In Romans 1:1-7, Paul introduces himself, the message he proclaims, and how that message changes who we are.

While we all have felt needs pressing upon us on a daily basis, one of our greatest needs is to see God more clearly; we often operate with a deficient view of God. However, as the prophet experienced in Isaiah 6:1-11, once you've seen the Lord in his holiness, everything changes.
