A Great Way To Get To Know Romans

The book of Romans is an absolute treasure. J.I. Packer expresses it well when he says, “All roads in the Bible lead to Romans, and all views afforded by the Bible are seen most clearly from Romans, and when the message of Romans gets into a person’s heart there is no telling what may happen.” I want the message of Romans to continue to get into my heart and life. To that end, I listened to Michael Kruger’s recent lectures on the book and want to commend them to you. These lectures were given at RTS Charlotte where Kruger serves as President. They were delivered not in a classroom environment but as part of a ladies’ study. They are some of the best teaching on the book I’ve ever heard.

The study is divided into “seasons” of 20 or 21 lectures each with each lecture coming in at around 45 minutes. Season 1 covers chapters 1 through 9 in 20 lectures (plus a brief extra). Season 2 begins in Romans 8 and continues to Romans 11.

For each session you can download the notes, then watch the video. They are as ideally suited for watching alone as watching with friends or family. Give them a try! I think you will enjoy them as much as I did.

Season 1 (Romans 1-7)

Series 2 (Romans 8-11)

  • Conform

    You Can Conform to Christ Even if You Don’t Conform to Me

    One of the aspects of the Christian faith that I find particularly perplexing is the freedom God gives his people to obey him in different or even opposite ways, so that one person’s obedience is another person’s disobedience. Even as two people take the same action, one might be obeying him and the other disobeying…
