Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2
We are beset by the Fall; having a body and mind that is corrupted and in decay with the rest of Creation.
But that reality isn’t permanent.
When Jesus offered His Body as a living sacrifice, He reversed that curse;transforming and conforming back to Himself.
Through Faith in Him, we also are no longer to be “conformed to the world” but instead “transformed by the renewal of our minds” and able to offer our bodies as holy, redeemed, living sacrifices in all we do!
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:1-2
St. Paul packs a lot of deep, profound, Gospel into little spaces. Although true in so many of his letters, it is especially evident in the book of Romans!
Join us as we explore the Gospel of Jesus in rich, thought-provoking, joyous ways!
Sundays, 8:30 AM in the café, starting on August 27, 2023.
Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.
Matthew 15:27b
The story of Ima Hogg, the “First Lady of Texas” is well known; sometimes not for her enormous generosity, philanthropy, and blessings to Houston and Texas, but because of her unfortunate name.
But we can take that which may be seen as a detriment and be extremely blessed by it!
In the Gospel for today, Jesus tells a women that “it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” The women doesn’t dispute that she’s a dog, but responds with one of the greatest statements of faith and truth in Scripture; “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
A big, backpack full of THANKS to everyone who bought school supplies and backpacks for our young families! Your generosity supplied backpacks for 43 students in our community, who would not have been ready to start school this year without your kindness.
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Romans 10:13
Sometimes we feel like everyone and everything is against us; like the weight of everything is going to crush us.
But we have an almighty God who lifts our burdens and carries our sorrows. A God we can call upon to help us in any need and at any time. And the promise is that, “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!”
Saved from sins. Saved from burdens. Saved from death. Saved for eternity!
