"The Power of Renewal"
Romans 12:1-21, various verses
Rev. Dr. Mark Douglas
We live in a complex world. Economics and politics, science and technology, the environment and culture, biology and psychology: all of them growing and changing in ways that can make our heads spin. So how does the church keep us grounded—or should it even try? How do we grow in wisdom in the midst of the whirling frenzy of modern life? And what has wisdom to do with faithfulness anyway? This Sunday’s sermon takes up questions about how Christians might live and grow in this complex world, focusing especially on Paul’s call in Romans 12:2 to be “transformed by the renewing of your minds.”
