One Body | The Bible According to Romans Chapter 9 Part 2

When you think of the Book of Romans, what are the first thoughts that come to mind? Perhaps you think of justification or sanctification or God's sovereignty. Now what comes to mind when you think of the Book of 1 Corinthians? Perhaps you think of divisions in the church or divisions between rich and poor affecting the Lord's Table or spiritual gifts in worship. Now think about these two lists. Does your 1 Corinthians list seem to be more related to the specific Corinthian congregation than the Romans list? To put it another way, if the Book of Romans was written in another city, would that affect its content in any way in your mind? When it comes to the Book of Romans, we tend to think of it in more abstract terms. We think of doctrines, we think of theology. But what we may not think about are the actual, concrete situations that Paul was trying to address. And while the general doctrinal truths of Romans are truly treasures to be valued, they were written down for very specific purposes. Dr. Richard Winston, Associate Professor of New Testament, will guide us through the Book of Romans demonstrating exactly why Paul focused on these truths in this book. He will address the practical problems Paul was trying to solve in his day and suggest how those solutions might be relevant for churches in our day. This series is entitled "The Bible According to Romans" because we believe that the Book of Romans makes a decisive contribution to the Bible's story and sits at the heart of what the Bible is all about. But in the Book of Romans Paul takes quite a long time before he finally addresses particular situations - the bulk of his book's content is driving towards that payoff. So, in order to better understand the full story and closely examine Paul's purposes in writing, we're going to do something a bit different and start at the back of the book.
