23 But now I have finished my work in these regions (Jerusalem to Illyricum), and after all these long years of waiting, I am eager to visit you.

24 I am planning to go to Spain, and when I do, I will stop off in Rome. And after I have enjoyed your fellowship for a little while, you can provide for my journey.

1. The Power of God2. The righteousness of God3. For all people of the earth

Martin Luther Reformer of the Church in 1917

Convicted by the Power of God, the Gospel, which revealed the righteousness of God (Rom. 1:17)

Share the Gospel, the power of God, which alone can save sinners from hell, and make sinners saints!

“I am ready to preach the Gospel… For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,

because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes…”
