GO DEEPER INTO ROMANS DURING LENT!
Dr. J. Paul Sampley is offering two opportunities to dive into Romans in a new way and add context to the Lent Small Group curriculum on Romans 5–8:
Romans: Letter to You
Saturday, Feb 25 at 9–11am, Calvin
Romans is Paul's longest (and in some ways possibly his most difficult) letter; but it is also one of his richest and most powerfulletters. We'll see how Romans can help us understand our lives as Christians in these difficult times and in this broken world. A continental breakfast will be available; please RSVP to Becky.
Links and Ties Between Romans 5–6 and Romans 8
Sunday, Feb 26 at 10am, Calvin
Romans 5–8 is the heart of Paul's Letter to the Romans—and maybe even the heart of his gospel. We will discover how Paul provides a sketch of our lives of faith and places it all in the context of the Big Story that God is writing through Jesus Christ and in us.
