Journey back to the time of Jesus, marvel at the magnificence of Herod's palace, scramble among the ruins of Qumran, and wonder at the simplicity and wisdom of Jesus' parables. Discover how the events of Jesus' day impacted his life and ministry - and how it affects yours today. Bible Study of the Book of RomansThe writer of this letter was the apostle Paul. It was written to Christians in Rome and believers everywhere. It was written around 57 A. D. This epistle contains his most complete explanation of the doctrine of justification by faith in Jesus Christ rather than by the performances of the law of Moses. It contains many teachings about the doctrines of salvation and the practical application of those doctrines to daily life. Through your study of this epistle, you can gain a greater appreciation of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and of the hope and peace that all people may find in Christ. Time of Prayer: Every Friday at 12 noon. Next is May 3. Bible Study: Book of Romans.
