Impact will meet this Thursday to study Romans Chapter 10. "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Paul continues to proclaim the Good News that we are saved by faith through Jesus Christ. It is in our mouths and hearts: we confess that God raised Jesus from the dead and believe this with our hearts--we are saved. Jesus is our savior and we all have feet to proclaim this good news to everyone. "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
