Here I Am, Lord, Romans 12:1-8
Rev. Dr. Charles Boayue, Jr. preaching
In his epistle to the Romans, the Apostle Paul encourages new converts to offer themselves to God with true Christian worship, not as isolated religious ritual, but the radical offering of everyday life to God, embodied by transformation of the mind, deep personal humility, and the active, collaborative use of unique spiritual gifts within the church community. This collaborative interplay of personal piety and social holiness ultimately yields the witness and impact the world desperately needs today.
Altar Flowers  
The Altar Flowers are given to the glory of God and in celebration of Linda and Darrell White’s 65th Wedding Anniversary.

The Signature of Love, Romans 12:9-21
Rev. Chad Oyer preaching
Many years ago, I read Brennan Manning's book The Signature of Jesus. In it his understanding of the Christian faith being that of God's passionate love for us in and through Jesus Christ, and not a set of rules, deeply connected with the Holy Spirit's deepening my pastoral theology. For this lesson from Romans, we are going to learn that to be Christians it is imperative that we passionately love one another.
