Hey, this is Beth.

Listen, what we live for at living proof is to serve people the word of God. We base our ministry on Hebrews 412 that tells us that the word is alive and active.

We pray this message is going to serve you in some way today and that God is going to speak through it. Thank you so much for giving us this privilege.

Would you turn with me to Romans chapter one and somebody say, my, mama, we got a wild lesson today.

Chapter 1, verse 18, I started to cut it up

into bits and pieces because I normally would not delight in teaching

this long a segment we're going to take it all the way to the end of the chapter but

it all overlaps and I just felt like it was unwise to take it apart.

Verse 18, Romans 1 through the rest of the chapter, the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven

against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their

wickedness since what may be known about God is plain to them because

God has made it plain to them.

Verse 20, for since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, his eternal

power and divine nature have been clearly seen,

being understood from what has been made so that men are without excuse.

Verse 21.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God,

nor gave thanks to him,

but their thinking became futile

and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal

God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
