Think Abraham’s promise was exclusively for Jewish folks? Paul says nope — if you’ve got faith, you’re family. We’ll trace how the promise to Abraham runs straight to Jesus, and how faith, not performance, brings peace with God and access, a pipeline, to grace.

Abraham’s story demonstrates righteousness by faith, not by law.  We chew on how God’s promise comes by grace so it can rest on faith.  And David shows up to give corroborating evidence. 

How exactly can a perfect God reconcile fallen humanity?  It’s the mystery of atonement:  paying for sin, and repairing an irreparably damaged relationship.  God provides - and receives - the perfect sacrifice.

Everybody’s guilty, and without a defense strategy.  But in one of the most important passages in the Bible, Paul proclaims justification by faith, apart from flawless commandment keeping.  Nobody expected it.

Paul turns his guns on religious people who think they’re exempt.  God’s judgment is impartial, and true obedience is a matter of the heart.

The wrath of God is revealed against human sin.  Paul shows how idolatry and evil leads to moral collapse — and why the world desperately needs the gospel.  We introduce three standards of judgement that might surprise you.  And everyone is in big trouble as he moves his  "condemnation" argument forward.

Paul introduces his letter with a central theme: the revelation of the gospel as God’s power to save.  We unpack the famous declaration, “The righteous shall live by faith,” and begin to investigate the origins of God’s wrath.

Tired of trying to be good enough, and then blowing it, yet again?  Tired of looking down the barrel of impossible expectations?  You need some good news.  There’s a way.  Romans can help.
