The Gifts of Righteousness

The Gifts of Righteousness

In Paul’s letter to the Romans, we learn so much about what God has done for His people, and how they are to live. The idea of “righteousness” is central to Paul’s thinking – appearing over 50 times in various forms. As we learn what righteousness means, we will see that it is far more than one gift among many, it is essential to all that God is doing.

Paul starts his letter to the Romans by introducing himself, his Master, the Romans themselves, and the gospel.

The wrath of God is the “problem” that the gospel solves. Dan shows us that this sobering message is true for everyone, but so is the offer of salvation in Jesus.

Fear, guilt, and shame are massive forces in all human cultures – and the gospel offers transformative hope for all these things. Romans 3 shows us that Jesus redeems us from sin’s power, atones for our sin, and gives us His righteousness.

Jesus offers eternal life and life to the full, but how are we supposed to access it? The book of Romans turns to the story of Abraham to find an answer.

In Romans 5, we find that the results of our justification are peace with God, ongoing access to God’s grace, and unbreakable hope, even in the midst of suffering.

Stephen continues our series on the book of Romans with a look at the start of chapter 6. The impact of Jesus’ death and resurrection doesn’t start when we get to heaven.  It starts now.  When we become Christians we move from a point where sin is the master to complete freedom in Christ.

Colin continues our series on Romans by leading us over the rocky ridge of chapter 7 to the marvellous heights of chapter 8, highlighting the importance of the Law in knowing sin and the transition from Law to Grace.

The gospel brings about three powerful assurances for every believer: assured identity as Gods children, assured hope in suffering, and assured help in weakness.

The gospel is good news, and when you have good news it’s worth sharing.  As Paul paints his picture of the good news in Romans, in this passage in Chapter 10 he challenges believers to be speaking about this good news, with the promise that those who hear, believe and call on the name of the Lord will be saved!

09/02/2025 | Luke Davydaitis

How are Christians meant to understand and apply the promises God made to His people in the Old Testament today? In Romans 11, Paul shows us through general principles and a specific issue. Above all, he tells all of us to humbly trust God and celebrate being part of the united people of God, saved by Jesus

Stephen leads us through the next part of our study in Romans, encouraging us that our whole lives are to be given as an act of worship in response to God’s mercy.

23/02/2025 | Dan Hudson

In view of God’s mercy, our worship is not just sining but a whole-life response-how we treat others, serve passionately, react with Christlike grace, and shine as a witness the world. True worship flows from the revelation of mercy, transforming us to live sacrificially and wholeheartedly for God.

Karen teaches from Romans 15, helping us to see how being peacemakers, serving and building up others, and being encourage through reading the Bible helps us glorify God and build His church.

In Romans 9, Paul looks at God’s choosing of His people, and what that means for everyone else. In doing so, he raises complicated and emotive questions, so Luke led this seminar on a Sunday evening to address these issues.

A handout containing Luke’s notes and suggested further reading is also available below.

Paul prays a very big prayer for all believers in Romans 15:13, inviting us to ask the Holy Spirit to work powerfully in our lives.

16/03/2025 | Dan Hudson

The book of Romans teaches us that God is extra-ordinarily generous to us in Christ and that the gospel changes our hearts to make us extra-ordinarily generous like him, enabling the gospel to progress, the poor to be cared for and for churches to be planted.

23/03/2025 | Luke Davydaitis

Paul tells the Romans about some of the travelling he has done, and where he hopes to go in the future, in Romans 15. In doing so, he reveals the ever-expanding nature of God’s Kingdom, and invites us to go on the journeys of faith that God has set out for us.

30/03/2025 | Raphael Mrode

From Romans 8, Raphael helps us to see we can have confidence in God for our lives now and for the future at three levels: confidence in God’s workmanship, confidence in God being for us, and confidence in the unfailing love of God.

In Romans 16, Paul greets many individuals in the Roman Church. This list of names reveals God’s love for people and shows that Jesus is building a church characterised by unity in diversity, teamwork, and genuine love for one another.

13/04/2025 | Dan Hudson

Dan concluded our long-running Romans series with Paul’s final exhortations to protect the gospel, partner with others in declaring it, and praise God for it.
