Three Messages Worth Hearing!

Romans 1.16,17 (ESV) reads:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Have you, like me, ever read these verses in Romans and wondered what is going on here? Only to quickly close the book and sigh, saying to yourself this theology stuff doesn't really matter; what really matters is "loving Jesus".

I hope these messages help...I think they can...I pray they will...

Pastor John Piper is preaching through the book of Romans, having begun in 1998. A friend gave me a CD of the first 69 messages covering the first 5 chapters...he is currently in chapter 13 for his 190th sermon. No mere academic analysis in these, but food for the soul with real life application because God is real, full of life and said what He said through Paul for a reason. If this seems too much for you, then perhaps consider listening to 3 of these messages. Scroll down the list to the messages titled: "How Does the Gospel Save Believers" (parts 1,2,3) dated 8/9,16,23/1998.

I pray your life of faith in Christ will be as refreshed as mine.
