Ben walks through Romans 10:1–15—a passage that not only clarifies how sinners are saved, but how that salvation reaches them: through preaching.

Paul gives us a chain of logic that leads to a staggering conclusion: salvation depends on the preached Word. We explore the implications of that truth—for hearers of preaching and for those who do the preaching. Romans 10 raises the stakes of every sermon and frames the pulpit as a place where Christ Himself addresses His people.

Rom. 10:14-15 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
