Summer sermon series

On Sunday, June 26th, we'll begin a series of sermons using the epistle lessons from the Revised Common Lectionary. These lessons come to us from the letter of Paul to the Romans.
__________________________________
The first of these passage is Romans 6:12-23: "Having settled the question how faith in the grace of Jesus Christ overcomes our sin, Paul now turns to the moral implications of that victory. he thinks of sin no longer "exercising dominion" over us. So the issue really become, "Who is our Lord and Master over our lives and what does that mean for the way we live?" Paul drew an analogy with slavery, an institution very common in the 1st century and most probably within the Christian community in Rome itself." - (Rev. John Sherman on the Midrash discussion group).

So, what do you think?
