Paul recognizes there is a growing community of faith in the most influential city.Though tempted to be ashamed, a growing appreciation of the Gospel removes shame.God's power, not human effort, rescues us from sin and death.Salvation flows from God's covenant promise - first to the Jew, then the Gentiles, and continues to stretch across history to us today.Youtube LinkSermon Notes
