Why are you in Boston? Perhaps you were born here, or you came to study or work. Yet the deeper, truer reason is God has one, clear, shared purpose for each of our lives here. What is it? How do we accomplish it? We’ll consider this as the Apostle Paul begins his conclusion—and ultimate purpose—of this glorious letter to the Romans.

"Selfless and Unified" (Romans 15:1-7)→
/The Bible gives Christians much freedom in terms of how to live. But we're called to put aside our God-given freedoms for the sake of our fellow church members if those freedoms make them uncomfortable. In Romans 15:1-7, we'll see what motivates this kind of selflessness.
"Love Over Liberty" (Romans 14:13-23)→
/How are Christians supposed to get along when consciences clash? How do we love and stay united with our brothers and sisters even when we disagree about issues of application and culture? We continue in Romans this Sunday as we grow in how to live out the gospel together in community.
"When Christians Disagree" (Romans 14:1-12)→
/Do Christians have to agree about everything? How should we respond when we don’t see eye-to-eye about how to apply God’s word? What’s worth fighting for, and what’s better to just agree to disagree? Sunday’s passage in Romans will consider these questions and more.
"Love and the Law" (Romans 13:8-14)→
/This Sunday we dive back into our Romans series. We’ll consider how to live holy lives in light of the gospel.
“Church and State" (Romans 13:1-7)→
/Politics so easily divides us. Yet government is an important factor in our lives. How do we live transformed lives in relationship to the state?
“Love In Action" (Romans 12:9-21)→
/There are so many things done in the name of love that aren't truly loving. So what does genuine love look like? This Sunday we'll see practical ways we can love one another in the church, and love even our enemies in the world around us.
“What Can Hold Us Together?" (Romans 12:3-8)→
/The heavy events of this week have shown us how easy it is to divide and dehumanize one another. Is there any hope for unity in our world? This Sunday, we'll see that the Apostle Paul first calls us to live transformed lives with one another. But in the midst of so many differences, how?
“A Whole Life of Worship" (Romans 12:1-2)→
/This Sunday we'll begin the final part of the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Rome. We move from theology to application, from doctrine to practice. How does the gospel impact our lives each and every day?
“Mystery, Mercy, Majesty" (Romans 11:25-36)→
/“What’s the plan?” We all like to know what’s going to happen, and we plan our careers, relationships, and our whole lives ahead as best we can. But what about things we can’t know? This Sunday's passage will show us the breadth of God’s mercy and the depth of his wisdom.
"The Kindness and Severity of God" (Romans 11:11-24) →
/How should we respond to God’s mysterious plan of salvation? This Sunday's passage will call us to greater hope in light of God’s mercy and greater humility in light of God’s judgment.
"A Remnant, Chosen by Grace" (Romans 11:1-10)→
/Most of us are surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues who do not believe in Christ. Many of us even know people who once seemed to believe in Jesus yet have fallen away. This Sunday's passage will remind us that even if so many people are rejecting Christ, God's grace is enough to preserve a remnant, chosen by his grace. Human rejection can never thwart God's plan.
"Good News for Everyone" (Romans 10:5-21)→
/God's sovereignty over salvation does not erase our responsibility to believe and preach. This Sunday we continue with the theme of God's good plan in the gospel. We'll see both the availability of salvation and the necessity of evangelism.
"The Wrong Way to Get Right with God" (Romans 9:30-10:4)→
/Why are some people saved while others are not? We continue with this theme of God's good plan in the gospel. We'll see that there is a right and wrong way to seek salvation.
"Is God Fair?" (Romans 9:1-29)→
/This Sunday we’re back in Romans! Romans 9-11 is all about God’s Plan in the Gospel. Why do some believe and some don’t? And how should we respond both to our own salvation and to see more people believe?
"If God Is For Us" (Romans 8:31-39)→
/No matter how deep sins or hard our sufferings, God is for us!
"Groaning for Glory" (Romans 8:18-30)→
/How should we respond when suffering comes? How can we have a real hope in the midst of difficulty? This Sunday we'll see what empowers us to find a patient hope in the midst of trouble.
"Sons of God" (Romans 8:12-17)→
/Christians are not just forgiven but, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we enter into a new relationship with God! We'll see this Sunday what that relationship is like. We are debtors, sons, and heirs.
"Set Free by the Spirit" (Romans 8:1-11)→
/Do you ever get discouraged by your repeated sins and failures? Why is it so hard to follow Jesus? Who can help us? This Sunday we’ll see how the power of the Holy Spirit enables us to walk in righteousness!
"The Battle Within" (Romans 7:7-25)→
/To live as a Christian means thart we need to fight daily against our sinful flesh and depend on Jesus for victory
