Primary Scriptures: Romans 1:1, Acts 7:51-8:1, Acts 9:1-22

In this opening episode of the Rod Talks podcast, Pastor Rodney introduces the book of Romans, highlighting its profound theological depth and its central role in defining the Christian doctrine of salvation. He focuses on the background of the author, Paul, tracing his transition from a devout religious leader and persecutor of the church to a transformed apostle after encountering Jesus on the road to Damascus. By examining Paul’s journey, Pastor Rodney illustrates that true salvation is a gift of divine grace rather than a result of personal works, religious heritage, or good intentions.
