    This weekend Steve discusses the life of Paul and how he had to interact with his fellow Jews. Paul was once a very religious man who set out to destroy those in the Christian faith. Paul was raised knowing the law and persecuting those who did not follow the law. When Christ changed Saul's life and gave him a new name, Paul's mission was to help explain the difference between the law and God's grace. Paul's mission was to show everyone God's promises were still true and those promises were fulfilled by a man name Jesus.

    In Part 7 of our Series in the Book of Romans, Steve take a look at how to suffer well. Suffering well does not seem like something anyone looks to attain, however; many of the early Christians suffered for the cause of Christ and did so by making the most of their suffering. Paul was in prison often, but did not let being there discourage him. He used whatever situation God placed him in to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We too can "suffer well" in any circumstance, as we know God is with us every step of the way.
