Romans

Join us for an unprecedented journey through the Book of Romans. This 25-week series is from September 9, 2007 to Easter 2008. Combining preaching, personal study and scripture memory, we trust that this will be a journey of significant change. When received openly, empowered by the Holy Spirit and discussed within the context of spiritual community (Small Groups or 1-1 relationships), this powerful book will lead to a deeper love for the Triune God, resulting in gradual life transformation!


Sermon Series

Audio recordings of Pastor Nelson's sermons are available online for listening or downloading. The full text of each sermon is also available for viewing or printout. Please see the list of available sermons below. Audio CDs of the sermons may be obtained at the Information Booth in the Welcome Center.  Podcasts of all Romans sermons are now available.


Bible Studies

Each week you will have the opportunity to prepare for the up-coming sermon. We have developed individual studies to help you understand the passage along with some practical application questions for you to consider. Print copies of these materials will be available in the bulletin each week, and electronic copies are available here. If you would like notebook for your materials, they may be purchased in the Welcome Center for $5 on Sunday morning, or in the church office throughout the week.


Small Group Discussions

A number of small groups have been formed to meet regularly to discuss the Bible studies. Here is more information on Southern Gables small groups. This is a list of about 20 small groups studying Romans.


Scripture Memorization

A key element of the study of Romans is individual and corporate memorization of Scripture. We have designed five levels of difficulty of memorization so that you may choose a plan that fits you personally. The memorization resources page has links to memorization guides for these five levels and to other aids including the exciting new Southern Gables Verseminder.
