This series of Bible messages is a study through the book of Romans. Paul wrote this letter to the believers at Rome, hoping to visit them, but God had His own time for Paul to go to Rome. Having never met these saints, Paul’s letter contains basic teaching on the fundamental doctrines of the sin of man, the salvation of God, the sanctification of the Spirit, and the security He provides, the sovereignty of God in dealing with His people, Israel, and our service for the Lord as believers. It was written during the Acts period, when God was transitioning from Israel to the Church, so it contains portions addressed specifically to Jews and others to Gentiles.
These Bible lessons were taught by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2016-2017 during the adult Sunday school class at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

A Prelude

Scripture References: 2 Kings 36:10-23, Esther 1:1-2
From Series: "The Book of Esther"
The book of Esther is a record of God's providential protection of the Jews who chose to remain in captivity rather than return to own land. This book is one of only two books of the Bible named after women. Esther, a young Hebrew woman, rises to become queen in Medo-Persia. In this position she is given the opportunity to save her people from the plot of a wicked enemy named Haman. Though reluctant at first to step forward, she is reminded by Mordecai, the older cousin who raised her, that God put her in this position "for such a time as this."
