This Sunday: “Glorifying God, Abounding in Hope”

Dear CrossPointe,

It looks like we’ve got just a few more weeks in Romans. Although we have two chapters remaining, I suspect we will be able to cover them in four or five Sundays. I hope our journey through this magnificent letter has been an encouragement to you. It certainly has been to me.

Our text this Sunday is Romans 15:1–13. Much of it is a continuation and summary of Paul’s exhortation to the strong and weak in Romans 14, but what is particularly noteworthy about this passage is how Paul roots his instruction to the church in the obedience of Christ. That’s really important, as I hope we’ll see this Sunday. It is in Christ that we can be unified and glorify him together as a local church. And it is because of Christ and the indwelling Spirit of God that we can abound in hope. 

Come a little early this Sunday. Leave a little late. Look for someone to greet and encourage. I’m looking forward to seeing you all!

Grace and peace,

Brad
