All of you here and a wonderful blessing to be able to worship God. Together through song and also through listening to him as he speaks his words of grace to us. And with that in mind, let me invite you to turn in your Bibles to Romans chapter 12. Romans chapter 12.
Is the PowerPoint on? Romans 12, this morning, we are going to be looking at verse 9.

And so what do we do in responding to these things and by way of unleashing and giving expression of these realities in our lives and In our relationships with one another. We're compiling a list that's providing answers for this question, and today we're gonna add to that list....
