Romans

We are launching our study of the Book of Romans on July 6th!! We are not following a particular study as a group, but we will be studying individually and then coming together as a group to discuss, share, and wrestle with the word.

If you are looking for some resources to aid you in your study of Romans, here are a few that have been suggested by our church leadership:

• John Piper's sermons through the Book of Romans: you can listen or read these off of his website for FREE! {hint: great resource if you are in the car a lot and can access the audio!}
• Tom Schreiner's commentary on Romans:  Tom was Sean's pastor at his previous church.  He is was also one of his seminary professors and perhaps the top New Testament scholar on Paul.
• John Stott's commentary on Romans:  Excellent resource and a little shorter than the above commentary by Schreiner.
• Sam Storm's Outline and Walk through the text:  Very helpful site.  All in one place.  Free!! 
• Other authors that have been suggested in the past include: William Barclay and John MacArthur

{note: there are links to the free resources in the "Links" section of this blog on the sidebar}

 Take some time and really dig into the word. You will have two weeks in between each chapter to study and prepare for the discussion. May God use this study to strengthen and teach us as we walk through His word.

Come prepared to discuss Romans Chapter 1 on July 6th!!
