[Rom] 8:19-24). Those who believe the gospel andContinue reading “Justification is NOT the Gospel!”

Views on God’s Wrath in Romans 1
This week I’m preaching on Romans 1:18-32 – probably one of the most culturally offensive passages of scripture – but also one of the most important for it shows us the reality of God’s wrath against sinful humanity. One of the more “offensive” parts is that God is a God of wrath. Culture hates this.Continue reading “Views on God’s Wrath in Romans 1”
