The Book Of Romans w/ Overseer Dr. Hugh Harmon Tuesday: 8:00pm – 9:30pm est (5:00pm – 6:30pm pst)

This course is structured to bring us face-to-face with the wonderful glory of God’s grace as presented in the thesis of the Apostle Paul’s teaching in this epistle to the Roman church. It discusses the grace to unify our churches and to inspire us to reach our world with the message of Christ. The sheer scale and depth of Romans make it challenging to teach but we will go step-by-step through understanding and communicating this life-changing book. In this course we will endeavor to prepare you to not only have a greater grasp of the intent and purpose of the book by giving you suitable tools for understanding the context and interpretation of the book but also giving you a greater appreciation of the extent of Paul’s theology.
