Our Winter Bible study from the book of Romans is being taught by our former pastor, Dr. Mike Proud (photos above). Mike now is the pastor of El Toro Baptist Church near San Diego, CA. It is great to get to see him again and renew our friendship. Of all the people in the world, this is the man God chose to use to lead me to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He will forever have a very special place in my heart. In our study tonight, we read the theme of Romans contained in this passage 1:16-17:
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
By professing this theme in his every day living, God continues to use Mike to point those around him to a saving faith in God's only son, Jesus Christ.
