Episode Synopsis

THE TIME IS NOW.  That’s a little phrase you might say or hear when it is time to take some action. When it comes to our passage for today, the Apostle Paul has a message for all of us and it is also that, The Time Is Now. For a couple of chapters, Paul has been giving us some very practical and timely wisdom about how to live in the church and in the world. He has called us to make our lives a living sacrifice in service to the Lord and others. He’s told us about spiritual gifts and how we can make a contribution to the work of the church. He’s told us about learning to bring blessing in the face of persecution and how to not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. And last week we learned about what it means to live under authority, specifically that of the government and people in power.
In all of these words from Paul, there is an underlying sense of urgency in becoming the people he’s calling us to be. Well, in today’s passage, he’s going to continue to point us in the direction of full devotion to God’s purposes and he’s also going to explain the reason it is so urgent. He’s going to tell us why The Time Is Now. 
We invite you to tune in to our sermon today as Pastor Jeff continues our series, Romans: Grace Changes Everything.
