With four simple words—ruin, rescue, renewal, and responsibility—Pastor Dudley explains the heart of the gospel. We are all ruined by sin (Romans 1–3), yet God steps in to rescue us through the saving work of Jesus Christ (Romans 3–5). The Holy Spirit then begins a lifelong work of renewal, transforming us from the inside out (Romans 6–8). Finally, Paul calls believers to live differently—to love, serve, and shine for Christ in everyday life (Romans 12–16). If you’ve ever wondered what Romans is really all about—or how God can completely change a life—this message is for you. Speaker: Pastor D
