The Gospel! Christians love to talk about it, whatever “it” is. We want to be Gospel-centered, Gospel-driven, Gospel-saturated . . . It’s also attached to almost any topic that Christians talk about - Gospel centered teaching or leadership or parenting or ministry or anything else you’d like to fill in that blank. But what is “it”? The gospel that is.

The book of Romans is arguably the most thorough explanation of the gospel and its implications that is found in the New Testament. The Apostle Paul (writer of the book of Romans) spends several chapters explaining humanity’s need for the gospel, what the gospel is, and what it does in you and your church if you believe it.

We will be spending January-April preaching through the first half of this book and we hope you will join us on this journey into the meaning of the Gospel. As we find out, in the very introduction of the book, it’s more than a mere concept. It’s the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).
