Message: “Romans: The Gravity of the Fall” from Nate Keeler

Romans - the Gravity of the Fall sermon slides     Romans - the Gravity of the Fall sermon notes

In Romans 1:18-32, we see that the downward spiral of humanity's "fall" has resulted in idolatry of all kinds. God's wrath - that is, His settled, fair and righteous disposition toward sinful humanity - is deserved and revealed. Each of us desperately needs to receive the righteousness of God. Why? Scripture states that we exchange the truth about God for a lie. We exchange the worship of God for worship of idols. We also exchange obedience to God for obedience to our desires. All of humanity stands guilty before our divine judge. Only the gospel has the power to break the fall!

From Series: "Romans Part 1: The Problem"

In the book of Romans, the Apostle Paul pulls together the entire narrative of Scripture and human history to show God's plan for salvation through Jesus. Over the next year we are going to study this letter to the Romans in five parts: Our Problem, God's Provision, Our Power, Our Predicament and Our Practice. In Part 1, we will discover that all of humanity stands guilty before a holy God, and that no amount of work can earn God's righteousness. However, there is good news in the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.
