Description
The biblical letter to the Romans provides an in-depth explanation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by the Apostle Paul with the purpose of establishing the Roman believers in the truth, so that they might be transformed through the life giving power of Jesus. As Paul declares, "I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16)!" In this series, Bible teacher Michael Brent guides listeners through the structure and thought of Paul's proclamation to the Romans with the goal that we too might be established and transformed.
