City to City: Refuse a Different Gospel
Paul is shocked to find that the region of Galatia has welcomed a different Gospel than the one he preached. Paul challenges the cities of Galatia to refuse any other Gospel. We must trust only in the finished work of Christ.

City to City: Maturity and Ministry
In the chaos and idolatry of Corinth, Paul helps the church move from immaturity to maturity, and from maturity to ministry. We can operate as ambassadors with purpose, demonstrating generosity and reconciliation to a culture desperate for truth.

City to City: I Am Not Ashamed
To the persecuted church of Rome, Paul says, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Paul, appointed to be an Apostle by the will of God, trusts in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And this Gospel does not disappoint. Paul offers the doctrine of salvation to the Romans to build their confidence in the face of death. Because of this confidence, they can “present their bodies as sacrifices as a spiritual act of worship.”
