Paul wrote Romans to unite the Jewish and Gentile Christians in Rome in the gospel. He also wanted the church in Rome to become the base of operations from which he could proclaim the gospel in Spain (15:22–24). The ultimate goal of preaching the gospel is the glory of God (11:33–36). Paul longs for the Gentiles to become obedient Christians for the sake of Christ’s name (1:5).

In the study of 1 Peter, we will be looking at how we can live out the Christian life in the midst of trials, unjust treatment and in a hostile political environment. We will also consider how believers can be partakers of Christ’s suffering and be assured of the glorious inheritance in His everlasting Kingdom. Registration opens on 17 Jan - 14 Feb 2021.
