For Martin Luther, Romans 1:17 opened the gates of paradise to justification by faith alone and was instrumental in launching church history’s most spectacular revolution.
Genevan Reformer John Calvin said of the book of Romans: “If we have gained a true understanding of this epistle, we have an open door to all the most profound treasures of Scripture.”
To mark the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation this year, there are numerous conferences taking up various Reformation themes. Clarus ’17 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, examined the book of Romans. Mark Dever and Greg Gilbert honored the achievement of the Reformation by preaching seven sermons from seven passages in Paul’s magisterial letter.
Attended by 750 from across the region, Clarus is TGC’s Southwest Regional Conference hosted by Desert Springs Church in partnership with TGC Albuquerque.
Below you’ll find videos from each of the conference talks, including links to audio and blog summaries. Click here for photos from this year’s conference, and here for songs we sang together.

Free eBook by Rebecca McLaughlin: ‘Jesus Through the Eyes of Women’
If the women who followed Jesus could tell you what he was like, what would they say?
Jesus’s treatment of women was revolutionary. That’s why they flocked to him. Wherever he went, they sought him out. Women sat at his feet and tugged at his robes. They came to him for healing, for forgiveness, and for answers. So what did women see in this first-century Jewish rabbi and what can we learn as we look through their eyes today?
In Jesus Through the Eyes of Women, Rebecca McLaughlin explores the life-changing accounts of women who met the Lord. By entering the stories of the named and unnamed women in the Gospels, this book gives readers a unique lens to see Jesus as these women did and marvel at how he loved them in return.
We’re delighted to offer this ebook to you for free.
