Blessings Family,
This Sunday we continue with the sermon series entitled “This Is How WE Do It,” as found in Romans 12:1-9. This series of messages centers on our individual responsibilities as leaders and the voices of Spiritual truth as members of the Body of Christ. In the first two messages, Paul shares that we cannot be conformed to the dictates of society, culture or politics wherever they are in conflict with the will of God. As shared in that message, we are not conformists, we must be nonconformists. Further, that our calling as Disciples of Jesus by necessity, goes far beyond a Sunday morning worship. In fact, true worship involves how we serve God on a daily basis. By serving, the text questions whether or not we are doing our individual work in Kingdom Building as our form of worship.
Part three of the series takes a turn, as it involves dissecting, understanding and giving new meaning to the term salvation. As Dr. Lewis Brogdon shares: “Salvation is God’s response to fallen people in a fallen world with the life and work of Jesus Christ. It is responding to the problem of human sinfulness, both individual and communal.” What’s so interesting about the definition provided, is how those who are “saved,” play a key role in the salvific work of God; that’s what we will talk about on Sunday.
I pray to see you this Sunday as this most necessary lesson will be shared. For those who will join us virtually, this will be a WORD that you won’t want to miss.
Peace,
Bishop Dr. Mark W. Thompson, Senior Pastor
