Explore how the seeds of Romans grow in us a bigger vision for a love that does not keep track of our failures, but instead forms us into the way of Jesus.
There really are only two stories—Adam and Jesus; sin and grace; death and life. Paul’s letter to the Romans tells us these stories in vivid frames with compelling faith. In doing so, he reveals to us the doctrine of transformation—the righteousness that comes by faith. This study of Romans will move you beyond education and knowing things about Jesus to spiritual awakening and transformation through daily immersion in Scripture. J. D. encourages reading the Bible with others and to put spiritual insights into action.
Wake-Up Call provides a daily encouragement to shake off the slumber of our busy lives and turn our eyes toward Jesus. Each morning our community gathers around a Scripture, a reflection, a prayer, and a few short questions, inviting us to reorient our lives around the love of Jesus who transforms our hearts, homes, churches, and cities.
