Greetings and Salutations

Scripture: Romans 1:1-10, 16:1-2
Message: Greetings and Salutations
Speaker: Tyler Graftaas

Many things have been said about Paul’s letter to the Roman churches. Paul addresses many topics including, justification, salvation, grace, sin and its effects, relationships, and more. Some have labelled it a treatise of Paul’s theology, and yet it is very clearly laid out as a letter between those who have a reasonably intimate relationship. So what is it and what relevance does it have for the church today, specifically Crescent Heights Baptist? Over the next few months, we will explore the letter to the Roman churches, its authority and Paul’s pastoral concern for those who call themselves disciples of Jesus Christ. This week we will begin where all good letters begin, with greetings and salutations.
