A Memorial Day reflection on our trip through Romans 12.

  2. “For” (Romans 12:3-8)

  3. The Hills (Romans 12:9-21)

“Reflections” happen on Sundays and special occasions. They’re shorter than what we do Monday through Saturday when we spend about 20 minutes a day and get through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 14 months.

Oh, and we do this together — with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people, and living out the love of Jesus better every single day.
