Today we're talking about one of the most importantsubjects in the entire Bible, and that is that we might know God. Paul'svery first prayer for the church in Ephesus, and the first of his four prisonprayers, is found here in verses 15-23. He begins by saying, "I do notcease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers." Now,it's amazing how to most of churches that he wrote to, or that he was part offounding, and that he was encouraging, that he talks about praying for them “withoutceasing”. Paul must have had an awesome continuous prayer life as he prayedfor the different saints in the different churches in the different places ofthe world. He was a man of prayer. Whatdid Paul pray? His prayers were not for their material needs, that they wouldhave money, not that they could pay their bills, not that they could buildbetter and bigger buildings or churches. Those things could have been importantand maybe were important at times, but his prayer was that “the God of ourLord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to them the spirit of wisdomand revelation in the knowledge of Him”. Icouldn't help but think of Hosea chapters 4 and 6. God said, "My peopleare destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). That is what happens whenwe fail to know who God is. Then Hosea gives this invitation from God in chapter6: "Come, let us return to the Lord" (v. 1). In verse 3, "Letus know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord." And then God speaksin verse 6, “For I desire mercy and not sacrifice and the knowledge of Godmore than burnt offerings”. God wants us to “know Him”. Thoughthe knowledge of God is the highest knowledge possible, the atheist claimsthere is no God for us to know. The agnostic states that if there is a God, youcannot know Him. But Paul met God in the person of Jesus Christ. And he knowsthat a man really can't understand much of anything else without a knowledge ofGod. The knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom. The “fear of the Lordis the beginning of wisdom”. Romans1 tells us that this willful ignorance of God led mankind into corruption andcondemnation. Paul describes the beginning of this progression with thesewords: “Who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (v. 18). “Because,although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, butbecame futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened”(v. 21). And then Paul goes on to showthe development of how willful ignorance leads to idolatry, substituting a liefor the truth, exchanging God the creator for a worship of the man who wascreated. It then develops into immorality and indecency. And it all begins withan unwillingness to know God as Creator, as Sustainer, as Governor, as Savior,and as the Judge of our lives. There is tremendous danger and consequences whenthe believer does not grow in the knowledge of God. InPhilippians 3:10, Paul said, "That I might know Him and the power ofHis resurrection," meaning to be intimately acquainted with God. Toknow God personally is salvation. Jesus prayed in John 17:3; “And this iseternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whomYou have sent”. To know God is to increase in sanctification (Philippians3:10). And to know God leads to ultimate glorification (1 Corinthians 13:9-12). Myfriend, we are made in the image of God. And the better we know God, the moresatisfied we are in Him, and the more satisfied we are even in ourselves. And thatis how we bring the greatest glory to Him. That's what God desires. That iswhat Paul prayed for the believers at Ephesus. We should pray this for ourselves.We can pray this for others. “ThatI might know Him”—God,the true, the only God. May the Lord help us today to love and live for Himwith all of our hearts. Godbless!
Paul confronts a sobering reality—people trade the truth of God for the lies of idols and self-worship. This isn't just ancient Rome; it's our world today.

Romans 1:1-7
In this episode, we dive into Romans—Paul's powerful letter to a divided church in Rome. Written from Corinth, it speaks to Jews and Gentiles learning to live as one under Christ. We'll unpack the gospel's themes of grace, faith, and redemption, and how they cut through cultural tensions with unity and hope. Along the way, we'll draw inspiration from St. Lawrence, whose fearless faith reminds us to live unashamed of the gospel. Join us for a bold, practical look at Romans and what it means to stand firm in truth and love today.

Romans 1:1-17 | The Righteousness of God | Johnny Kurcina | September 7, 2025 In the letter to the Romans, Paul writes about the gospel of God, the very power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, in which the righteousness of God is revealed. In Romans he teaches us that what God does […]
In John Bunyan's classic tale, “Pilgrim's Progress,” we follow a disciple of Jesus from the City of Destruction through various obstacles and temptations until he reaches the Celestial City. What steps are you taking on your own pilgrimage? This month, we'll look at four key actions that should define every disciple at Redeemer: Believe, Belong, Become, and Bless. This path of discipleship will take greater prominence in our life together as a church as we prepare for God to work and through us for his glory and our good.

Mankind is born in sinRomans 5:12Romans 3:9–112. Jesus SavesRomans 5:18–213. We are justified by grace through faith in ChristRomans 3:21–264. God's righteousness comes with benefits for life here and nowa. We are “in Christ”b. We are no longer enslaved to sinc. We are free from the Mosaic Law's binding authority in order to be right withGodd. The Holy Spirit of God lives in use. We have peace with God through Jesus Christ5. God's imperatives follow the indicativesRomans 12:1–2Romans 10:9–10Romans 8:35–39
Episode SummaryPaul's argument moves with laser-sharp logic: God's power saves (v.16) because God's righteousness is revealed in the gospel (v.17). But that righteousness is necessary because God's wrath is revealed against sin (v.18), a response we understand as we behold God's glory in creation (vv.19–20). In this episode, we trace that flow, unpack the nature and objects of divine wrath, and follow the tragic yet honest downward spiral of human rebellion—idolatry, moral degradation, and social disorder—so we can see why the good news is truly good.The Logical Link to the Gospel (vv.16–20)Power → Righteousness → Wrath → GloryWhy the bad news is necessary for the good news to make senseThe Nature of God's Wrath (v.18)Holy, personal, and just—not impulsive human angerGod is never morally neutralWho Faces God's Wrath (vv.18–20)Against “godlessness” (irreverence toward God) and “wickedness” (injustice toward others)Suppressing the truth made plain in creation leaves everyone “without excuse”The Downward Spiral (vv.21–32)Idolatry: Knowing God but refusing to honor or thank HimSexual impurity: “Exchanges” that degrade the body (vv.24–25)Against nature (vv.26–27): Paul's teaching on created order and sexual ethicsDepraved mind (vv.28–32): A cascade of vices, broken relationships, and approving of evilWrath defined: God's wrath is His righteous, settled opposition to evil.General revelation: Creation clearly reveals God's eternal power and divine nature—enough to render us accountable.Sin's trajectory: Rejecting God leads to idolatry, moral confusion, and social decay.Heart of the matter: The essence of sin is knowing God yet refusing to glorify or thank Him.How does seeing God's wrath make the gospel more compelling rather than less?Where do you notice “truth suppression” in our cultural moment—or in your own heart?In what everyday ways can gratitude to God push back against idolatry (v.21)?How should Christians hold together truth and compassion when discussing Romans 1:26–27?Which of the vices in vv.28–32 do you see most clearly in society—and which is God exposing in you?How does Romans 1 prepare us for Paul's explanation of justification by faith that follows?Romans 1:16–17 — Power and righteousness of God in the gospelRomans 1:18–20 — Wrath revealed; truth in creation; “without excuse”Romans 1:21–25 — The “exchange”: glory for images; truth for a lieRomans 1:26–27 — Paul's appeal to created orderRomans 1:28–32 — Depraved mind and the approval of evilWhat We CoverKey TakeawaysDiscussion QuestionsScripture Highlights

Romans Chapter 1… an amazing portion of Scripture! So much to discuss. Listen in as I walk you through the treasure trove of its content.
“The Gospel Is…” (Romans 1:16–17)In this episode we unpack Paul's thesis for Romans: the gospel is God's power to save because it reveals God's righteousness. We trace how salvation is offered to everyone who believes, why “the righteousness of God” is good news (God's character, God's saving action, and God's gift), and how the just live—now and forever—by faith.Romans 1:16–17; 3:22, 26 • Ephesians 2:5 • 1 Corinthians 1:18 • Romans 13:11 • Philippians 3:9 • Habakkuk 2:4 • Galatians 3:11The gospel is God's powerful means of salvation because it reveals His righteous way of putting sinners right with Himself—received by faith alone. “The righteous (by faith) shall live.”Unashamed of the Gospel (v.16)Paul's confidence despite opposition; the gospel is God's power, not self-help.Goal: full salvation—justification, reconciliation, redemption, transformation—past, present, future.Scope: offered to everyone who believes; to the Jew first and also to the Gentile.Why the Gospel Saves (v.17)It reveals the righteousness of God—the thesis of Romans.Attribute: God is righteous and just; at the cross He is “just and the justifier.”Activity: God keeps covenant, rescues His people, defeats evil.Achievement/Gift: a righteous status from God, granted by grace through faith.Received by FaithHabakkuk 2:4 in context: trust God amid injustice.Paul's application: the one declared righteous by faith truly lives.Structure of Romans: chs. 1–4 (faith → righteousness); chs. 5–8 (righteousness → life).The gospel doesn't merely offer power; it is God's power.Salvation is comprehensive: rescued from wrath and restored to God.God's righteousness is not earned; it's given.Faith is the empty hand that receives Christ—and then walks in new life.Where are you tempted to be “ashamed” of the gospel, and why?Which aspect of God's righteousness (attribute, activity, gift) most encourages you today?How does “the righteous by faith shall live” shape your week practically?

What makes a person give up a real diamond in order to take a fake plastic one? Sounds crazy, right? But that's what an ungodly person does. They often abandon the glory of their Creator for cheap imitation versions. In this episode, we will uncover the tragic pattern of idolatry, explore why it still tempts us today, and learn how to stand firm against it.
