Dead to Sin, Alive for God | When in Romans | June 21, 2026

We just began our new summer worship series, When in Romans. The phrase “when in Rome” is a shortened version of the proverb “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”. It means you should adapt to the customs and behaviors of the people in the area you are visiting. In a playful turn of phrase, our summer series helps us adapt our lives to the letter Paul wrote to the Romans. Today Paul tells us to consider ourselves dead to sin and alive for God in Christ Jesus.
