Equipping the Saints VI

This Growth Group focuses on the Apostle Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, written from Corinth in anticipation of his visit, which is considered to be the most complete exposition in the New Testament of the central truths of Christianity. The Epistle was intended to communicate the great doctrines of grace, the basis of Paul’s ministry. This Growth Group is for any serious explorer of scripture. Diversity of age groups is welcome to enhance the depth of the exploration. The texts are approached through a dialogical exploration based on a model of inquiry/exegesis that forces the explorer to struggle with the text and to critically analyze the text, formulating the results of the God conversation that takes place in that analysis.
