Prayer

Sermon Prep

Message: A Christian Is a Servant of Jesus

Read Ahead: Romans 1

This week we being a series called "Humility and Identity," wrestling with the heavy subjects of Romans 1.  Through it, we'll deal with questions like "Can I really choose my own identity?"  "Can I choose how much of my life belongs to God?"  "Where do 'sins' come from?"  This will be weighty stuff, and I want to equip you, and especially parents and grandparents, to address these issues graciously and Biblically.
