Romans
27 Apr 2025 – 30 Nov 2025 · 262 messages · 32 Sundays · 32 preachers · 186 hours
For thirty-two Sundays in 2025, every location of The River Church walked through the book of Romans together — the same passage, the same week, preached by thirty-two different people. The series moved in six arcs: the NEED, Righteousness, SIN and SELF, the Spirit, REACH GATHER GROW, and finally Romans 9-16. Between them they covered all 433 verses of the letter, with no gaps. That is what makes this part of the index unusual. Because roughly eight preachers handled the same verses on the same Sunday, you can read them side by side — which is a question nobody here has been able to ask before.
