Romawa 16:26

The 4-weeks leading up to Christmas help us get ready for the birth of our Savior. Experience hope, faith, joy, and peace as you read through this 4-day devotion series shared by The Lutheran Home Association's chaplains.

There are those who are remembered for good in Paul’s letter to the church in Rome, and those around us. By promoting unity, giving our lives away, and prioritizing praise, we too can leave a legacy worth remembering.

It is said that the letter to the Romans could be seen as the whole Gospel in a nutshell. Great heroes of the Christian faith, like St. Augustine and John Calvin, have relied on Romans to refine their theology. Let’s solidify our understanding of Romans through this five-day reading plan by Henku Grobler.

While there are certainties in faith, at the heart of the Christian story is also paradox. Jesus invites us to look beyond the polarities of either and or in order to embrace the difficult, wondrous dissonance of and. This 6-day plan explores the "and"—of the incarnation, of the kingdom, of grace, and of lament—and invites us into the practice of wonder and worship.
