Christian Living in the Real World
Romans 12:1-13
Over the course of these messages, we’re going to take a 35,000-foot view of how we should live as Christians. We will focus on Romans 12-15 and take a look at key truths that deserve our consideration and application in daily living.
Paul’s emphasis on righteousness in Romans:
1) The unrighteousness of fallen man (1:1-3:20)
