BOOK OF ROMANS: A LETTER FOR WRECKED RELATIONSHIPS | Professor James Yuile, Hope International University

Location: Main Auditorium

Time: 6:30pm to 8pm

In this five week class, we will learn that when Paul writes the Letter to the Romans, he speaks to a congregation fraught with wrecked relationships, church division, and real people with real problems. Over the course of five weeks, we’ll get to know the people behind the letter, and we will re-read key passages to see what Paul speaks into their lives and how it impacted them. The heart of the challenge is this: will they choose to build new and right relationships in their daily lives just as God himself chose to build new and right relationship with them? And not just them, but us as well: what do we share in common with those Roman Christians and what would it look like for us to choose right relationship?
