Romans: Cornerstone of Christian Truth
As we explore the deep, rich mine of God’s truth in Romans, we do so with great gratitude to Him who led Paul to write these words. Like no other book of the Bible, Romans forms the doctrinal cornerstone of Christianity. Because it touches on every major belief of Christianity, it is foundational to our faith.

How to Become an Encourager

The Truth That Set Us Free
To illustrate how God uses ordinary people, let’s travel back in time to a period of history called the Reformation. The Reformation’s heroes and battlefields may not be as recognizable as the American Revolution’s George Washington and Valley Forge. Yet the soldiers who led a religious revolution from the 1300s to the 1500s made a tremendous difference in what matters most to us—our understanding of God, the Bible, and salvation.

Dive deep with Pastor Chuck Swindoll into Romans 1:1–13 to learn the substance and purpose of the Gospel.
A Monk, a Door, a War, a Hymn
