Dr. Somerville takes a break this week from his 'When in Romans' sermon series to talk about a problem that everyone will recognize is happening in our country, and that is the fracturing of our society into like-minded communities of people who share similar ways of life, beliefs and politics.  To do this as a church weakens the entire edifice, and Dr. Somerville uses Pauls words from 1 Corinthians 12 to encourage us by understanding that the body is strongest when it has all of it's variou...

July 31, 2023 13:31 - 21 minutes - 20.1 MB

When in Romans: Children of God

July 24, 2023 14:37 - 21 minutes - 19.8 MB

As Dr. Somerville continues his 'When in Romans' sermon series he emphasizes the point that Paul is making that through our baptism we become the 'children of God.'  And as 'children of God' we stand to inherit every good thing God has to give.  Though we now live in an imperfect world, we have the vision that one day all will be made right.  It's a vision to hold on to.  Enjoy hearing Dr. Somerville explain all of this and more.
