Study Scripture with John Stott

The gospel has power: the power to save us, the power to change the world. In Paul's letter to the Romans he explains the power we've been given to be effective witnesses, overcome sin, be wholly committed to God, handle differences in Christ's body, and be responsible Christian citizens. The truth in Romans will transform your thinking and convict your heart as you discover the power of the gospel for every area of your life and our world.
