We are a forgetful people in a land of distractions. Our minds are easily captivated by trivial and temporary inducements. New things quickly become old. In our mind’s eye even glory tends to fade and warnings tend to wane. It is no wonder that we who are invisibly united to Christ and visibly in and not of this world live in constant need of renewal. And what is true for the Christian is true for the church. This is a series that seeks to renew the mind of the church. Not so much by reviewing what she is called to do as much as what she is called. As with the Christian so with church, her God-given identity defines her. We who are the church are a people for God and none other.
Before we return to the book of Romans, we will be looking at the what scripture says about the Church, in its nature, how she expresses herself in song, and how the church cares and equips for its members.

Refocusing on Christ: Resurrection as More Than a Creed
Resurrection—the concept is central to the Christian faith. The gospel promises resurrection life. But resurrection life is given only in and can only be known from Christ. It is more than a creed. This message is intended to refocus hearts on Christ, who is in Himself the resurrection and the life. It considers a most remarkable encounter filled with the deepest kind of pain and dreadful hopelessness. It enters that place where creeds scarcely comfort. By redirecting and refocusing, glory resounds as Christ reveals Himself.
