BIE 706 - Exposition of Romans (3 hrs.)
Dr Larry Perkins
Sept 9-11, 2010 (Thursday through Saturday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM)
Why did Jesus have to die on the cross? Does God have plans for Israel still? Why do people sin? Can I really have a relationship with God? What is God's mission for the world? Paul engages these and many other challenging questions in his letter to the Roman Christians. Written in the midst of his missionary work and midway through his apostolic career this letter, more than any other defines for us what God was doing in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Paul sets these events in the plan of God for human redemption. If you have wondered about these and other spiritual matters, we invite you to explore Paul's exposition of the Gospel in Romans.
