The Romans Course

Discover your place in God’s story as you explore the Letter to the Romans with your small group or as a whole church.

What is The Romans Course?

The Romans Course is a ten-session programme which helps you study Paul’s letter to the Romans. The course tackles ten big themes found in the book of Romans which are key to understanding the Christian faith:

  • Gospel – How can we become confident in our faith?
  • Sin – What's wrong with the world?
  • Salvation – What's so amazing about grace?
  • Peace – How can we find rest in a stressful world?
  • Freedom – How can we avoid negative cycles?
  • Hope – What has God promised?
  • Mystery – If God is sovereign, what is our role?
  • Devotion – How can we live full on for God?
  • Community – How can we live together in love?
  • Mission – How can we be ambitious with the gospel?

The Bible Course provides an overview of how the whole Bible fits together. The Romans Course focuses on a single book of the Bible and is designed to help you deepen foundational learning from The Bible Course. However, it isn’t necessary to have done The Bible Course before The Romans Course.
