Dear All,

We begin the study of Romans with the 1st 17 verses of chapter 1 where we see Paul reaching out to the Romans and declaring confidence in the Gospel

Please note:

The lesson on Monday 24th August 2026 is an online class.

We will not yet have homiletics for the year.

There will be GL teaching to help all to kick off a vibrant discussion for the year.

God Bless and see you all this Saturday morning.

Romans 1:1-17

Content

Paul’s Calling - Gospel

1-4 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, ⁴ the Spirit of holiness appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

5-7 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all to faith. 6 And you belong to Jesus Christ. ⁷ Loved by God and called to be his holy people: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul’s Longing – Spread Gospel

8-10 I thank my God through Jesus Christ, because your faith is known all over the world. ⁹ I constantly I remember you 10 in my prayers; now by God’s will, the way may be opened for me to come to you.

11-15 I long to impart spiritual gift to make you strong— ¹² mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. 15 I am so eager to preach the gospel to you in Rome.

16-17 I am not ashamed of the gospel, the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
