Who's Right?

Evan and Justin preview their small groups’ new study in Romans after finishing Joshua, Judges, and Ruth, noting they’ll move quickly through this theology-heavy letter in about 13 weeks. They set the context: Paul likely writes from Corinth to believers spread across Rome, a diverse and influential city, and he thanks God that their faith is proclaimed worldwide. In Romans 1, they highlight Paul’s longing to visit, his eagerness to preach, and his confidence that the gospel is God’s power for salvation to Jews and Gentiles, urging believers not to remember the power of the Gospel. They discuss Paul’s teaching on God’s wrath, humanity’s rejection of truth seen in creation, the dangers of relativizing truth, and the moral chaos that follows when God “gives them over,” concluding that the ultimate solution for a depraved world is the transforming power of the gospel.
