Pastor Jim delivers the message this week with a challenge to view the apostle Paul first and foremost as a follower of Christ. Now, this may seem obvious to us, but Paul literally patterned his life around Jesus' constantly. The way Paul prayed, preached, and planned was just as Jesus did. What if our lives were patterned the same way?

This week Pastor Ken nears the end of our series on Romans with a practical message about our need to consider others above ourselves in regards to disputable matters. Romans 14 reminds us that, though there's much freedom in Christ, we ought never abuse this freedom and cause another to stumble.

Romans chapter 13 can be a hard chapter to swallow but Pastor Ken does a great job at breaking down our need to pray for those in authority over us. God has placed those above us in our lives for a purpose yet, ultimately, His Kingdom always comes first. Sometimes taking a stand for our faith will result in suffering but the Lord is faithful to those who trust in Him.

This week pastor Devan brings a word challenging us to reconsider what true Biblical worship really is. Leaning on the story of Abraham and Isaac as a foreshadowing to what Paul will later identify as our "living sacrifice" in Romans 12, Devan argues that the best way to practice Biblical worship may not being singing, shouting, clapping, dancing, or praising, but it may just be turning our entire lives over to the merciful plans of our Father and using what God's placed in our hands to further His Kingdom on this earth.

Another week in the book of Romans, Pastor Ken tackles chapter 11 with a sincere message about producing fruit that comes by faith. Staying grafted into the tree of Christ is absolutely essential for a vibrant faith and one that leads to life. However God works to bring about salvation, one thing is sure, faith is always an essential ingredient. Let us continue in His kindness and remain grafted in!

This week Pastor Jim steps up to the pulpit to deliver a dynamic message about our life focus. Focusing on religion and law over a relationship with Jesus Christ funnels to a dead end road. But Jesus came to bring life and freedom. Let's turn our eyes to Him and keep focused for a life abundant!

Pastor Ken continues in our summer Romans series with a message about the freedom we've been given in Christ out of Romans chapter 6. Formerly slaves to sin, the blood of Jesus has offered us freedom to be instead slaves of righteousness. The question is, whose slave are you?
