God reveals himself to humanity through his creation. The Bible states that the heavens declare the glory of God (Ps. 19:1). He has also set eternity in our hearts (Eccl. 3:11). We are made in God’s image, with a moral awareness, and we know that there is something beyond this life. Deep in our souls, we know God exists.

Paul explained the theme of his letter in Romans 1:16-17. He boldly stated that he was not ashamed to proclaim the good news about Jesus, because it was the only way for people to have a relationship with the living God. The gospel (“news of victory”) provides the power to have a right standing before God and to live for God.

Many reasons can prevent people from sharing their faith with others. However, we learn from Paul in his letter to the Romans that he is compelled to share the message (Rom. 1:14). He can’t imagine staying silent about the most crucial message for both now and eternity. 

Following Paul through the book of Acts, we accompany him on three missionary journeys. Paul’s third journey, from AD 53 to 58, focused on strengthening the churches he had founded and addressing false teachings. He traveled through Galatia and Phrygia, stayed in Ephesus for two to three years, and then visited Macedonia and Greece. 

Welcome to a study of Paul’s letter to the Romans!

From the moment John dipped his reed pen into ink and wrote the first word of his Gospel, he had this purpose in mind.

You made a bold statement. You said, “Lord, I will never desert you. I am willing to die for you.” Then, in a matter of hours, you denied Jesus three times. How do you recover from that? Can you recover from that?

Today, let’s consider Jesus’ interaction with the apostle Peter.
