Don't Trade God | Romans

Chapters | Romans 1:18–32

When Worship is Exchanged

In this episode of Chapters, we slow down and walk through one of the most sobering passages in the New Testament. Paul shows us what happens when humanity turns from God, how truth is suppressed, worship is exchanged, and the heart drifts from its Creator.

This isn’t a passage meant to condemn “them.”
It’s a passage meant to wake up all of us to our need for grace.

Here, we explore:
• What God’s wrath actually is (Romans 1:18)
• Why general revelation leaves humanity without excuse (Romans 1:19–20)
• The tragic exchange of worship (Romans 1:21–23)
• What it means that “God gave them up” (Romans 1:24, 26, 28)
• How sin reshapes our minds, desires, and identity
• Why idolatry sits beneath every fallen desire
• The long list of evidences Paul gives (Romans 1:29–31)
• And how all of this leads us straight to our need for Christ

Above everything, this chapter reminds us that the gospel is not advice—it’s rescue.

Where sin runs deep, God’s mercy runs deeper.
