Revelling in Romans

7/1/2021

From January 2021, we're going to be looking at Paul's letter to the Christians in Rome on Sunday mornings and in our small groups. At times, it will feel like hard work, but the rewards will be more than worthwhile! Like mining for diamonds, what we discover is the jewel of the gospel message - the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes (1.16).

Here's some resources to help you dig deeper into this magnificent book!

The Bible project: introduction to Romans 1-4:

Kelvin referred to some statements about each one of us in his sermon on 31/01/2021; Significance, security and acceptance restored in Christ.
Here they are in full.

"Romans" by Phil Moore in the "Straight to the heart of ..." series.

60 days' worth of bite-sized insights that help unpack what Paul means and its relevance for today. Really punchy; full of insight.

Available as a print book or ebook from eden.co.uk or other retailers.

"Romans 1-7 for you" by Tim Keller in the "... for you" series.

More detailed than Phil Moore's book, Tim Keller is great at analysing culture and explaining deep biblical truths.

Available from eden.co.uk or other retailers.

What else would you suggest to help us get stuck into Romans, and delight afresh at the glorious gospel message?

Hi Dan, A book that some may like is Simon Ponsonby's "God is for us: 52 readings in Romans." It is intended for daily or weekly reading. Simon based this on a series of sermons he preached at St Aldates, Oxford. The introductory chapters are woven around a mini autobiographical account of how he got started on the series, despite of considerable misgivings. Available from Eden Christian Books.

That's a good suggestion - Simon Ponsonby is always worth listening to or reading!
