On this fourth Advent Sunday, we reflected on the essence of Christ's arrival. With Christmas near, and amidst the busyness, we stop to savor God's presence. Our recent exploration of Romans highlighted our adoption, being part of the true Israel, and our role in expanding the Kingdom. In Romans 12, Paul urges us to live out these truths. As living sacrifices, we are to use our diverse gifts together, practicing love, humility, and generosity...we encourage, pray, and share each other's burdens, reflecting Christ's love in our community.
