The book of Romans is the Mount Everest of Bible books. There is no higher peak. There is no harder climb. There is no top-of-the-world view better and more challenging than Romans. It is the most theologically rich and exegetically intricate book in the Bible. God has used Romans in profound ways. For example, the church’s greatest theologian, Augustine, was converted by reading Romans. The Reformation largely began because Martin Luther read Romans 1.

It is arguably the most influential section of the most influential book in all of human history. This series will cover the first four chapters of thie powerful and influential letter to the the church at Rome and to us as well.

What do we bear with for the sake of peace? The little daily annoyances, personality traits, and preference matters. They don’t rise to the level of calling for a peace summit. When we make a big stink out of an insignificant thing we come across as petty, which only makes actual peace harder. What should we do with the non-sin idiosyncrasies everybody has?….
