Introduction:
1. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hear the Apostle Paul
preach?
A. The Christians at Rome had not been privileged to hear Paul preach.
1. The Book of Romans is different from the other epistles.
B. But in the Book of Romans, Paul is writing what he would have preached.
2. Paul is going to preach the gospel (Romans 1:16).
A. The gospel deals with God's scheme of redemption.
B. The gospel is for all
1. All are guilty of sin (Romans 3:23).
2. All need a Savior (Romans 5:10).
3. All are saved by Jesus' death (Romans 5:8).
4. All are one body in Christ (Romans 12:4-5).
3. What would Paul preach in Gahanna?
Body:
I. PAUL WOULD PREACH SALVATION
II. PAUL WOULD PREACH ADORATION.
A. God is to be worshiped (Romans 1:18-25).
1. He is the invisible God.
2. He has the eternal power.
3. He has a divine nature.
4. He is the incorruptible God.
5. He is the Creator.
B. God is to be served in His church (Romans 12:3-5).
III. PAUL WOULD PREACH TRANSFORMATION.
A. Our relationship to GOD must change (Romans
12:1-3).
1. I give God my body.
2. I give God my mind.
3. I give God my will.
B. Our relationship to OTHERS must change (Romans 12:9-16).
C. Our relationship to OUR ENEMIES must change (Romans 12:17-21).
D. Our relationship to THE STATE must change (Romans 13:1).
E. Our relationship to OTHER CHRISTIANS must change.
1. We are to receive one another (Romans 14:1).
2. We must edify one another (Romans 14:19).
3. We must please one another (Romans 15:1-2).
Conclusion:
1. If the Apostle Paul were here, he would preach what we have been preaching
for years: Become a Christian, worship God faithfully, and live the Christian life.
2. We need to preach the same thing today!
