"From time to time, scientists have sent space probes to Mars. The object of the exercise is to find our more about the great planet which, although it's our nearest neighbour, is still over a hundred million miles away. For centuries people have imagined that there might be life on Mars, perhaps intelligent life. There are undoubtedly many new things to be learned, to be discovered. If only we could get there safely and work out what was going on.
A lot of people feel like that about Paul's letter to the Romans. Many know that Romans is his greatest letter. Some may even have heard of the transformational impact it has had on people like: Augustine, Martin Luther, John Wesley and Karl Barth. But to many Christians Romans remains as much of a mystery as Mars. 'I tried to read it once,' they say, like a scientist describing yet another failed space probe, 'but I got bogged down and I couldn't work it out.' "(N.T. Wright)
Romans is about good news. If you are looking for some good news we invite you to join us Sundays at 10 AM from January 17 to April 4.
