Focus: As we are Refined, impurities separate and can be removed from our lives. It’s easy to point to impurity in other people. But by that very same measurement we are impure. 24K or 99.9% isn’t good enough to be called pure. Dear God, help me to stop pointing fingers, and free me from trying to be “good enough.” Main Text: Romans 2:1-16 |

Focus: As we are Refined, impurities separate and can be removed from our lives. What has become an idol for you, or for us as a church? Where is your hope and trust? Wherever our hope and trust is not entirely in God we find ourselves serving the created, instead of the Creator. Dear God, show me where the idols are in my life, and help me let go as you melt them away. Main Text: Romans 1:18-32 |

In 2017 we celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Luther saw in Romans that it is faith the righteous live by, not by good works, and thus began his evaluation of the church according to this truth. As we begin our journey through this “case for faith” we will lean into Romans and see how God will Re-Form us. Text: Romans 1:1-17 |
