“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.” — Romans 12:1 (MSG)
The Bible has much to say about how we steward the resources God has entrusted to us. For every message series we will highlight one verse that relates to both the theme of the series and our reasonable response to give back to God, who gave everything for us.
e began our annual focus on the Gospel in the fall with a study of Romans, examining Paul’s clear
presentation of the Gospel, that Jesus died so we might live (Romans 3:21-24). In this series, we will return to Romans to see the practical applications of the Gospel for daily living. The Chapel’s late Pastor Emeritus, Dick Woodward, called this the “Gospel in Reverse.” If the Gospel teaches, “Jesus died that we might live,” the Gospel in Reverse teaches, “We die that Jesus might live in us.” Paul writes, “I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God…” (Romans 12:1). This is the Gospel in Reverse: we die, Jesus lives. As we study Romans 12-16, we will grow in our understanding of what it means to offer ourselves to the One who offered Himself for us, that we might experience and share “the Gospel in Life.”
Note: Gluten-free communion bread is available at the back doors of the Worship Room and at the balcony doors.
