But what if God is up to good even in the midst of those circumstances? Listen in as Senior Pastor JoAnn Johnson challenges us lean into our spiritual growth that happens in the midst of hard circumstances.

From Series: "When in Romans: A Series on Paul's Most Influential Letter"

In the middle of the first century, in the heart of the Roman empire was a group of house churches that believed that Jesus of Nazareth, crucified and risen from the dead, was the true Lord of the world! The Romans had to be some of the bravest, most tested Christ-followers as they were heavily persecuted by the rulers of the day. Therefore, Paul writes a letter to them, expressing what he wishes he could say in person to them. The contents of this letter are so revolutionary that for 2,000 years churches all around the globe read it, reflect on it, and apply these truths to their lives. Join us as we venture through Romans and see how the gospel's message gives us a new identity and a new way to live!
