Living the Method: Worship, Connect, & Respond Reimagined

August 31 - WORSHIP: Re-Center Your Life
Romans 12:1-2
We begin the series by looking at how worship is more than singing songs on Sunday morning. It’s a whole-life offering to God. In a culture that constantly pulls our attention in different directions, Romans 12:1–2 invites us to re-center our lives around God’s transforming presence. Join us this week as we discover how true worship helps us resist cultural conformity and live with renewed purpose.
September 7 - CONNECT: Belong to One Another with Communion
Romans 12:3-13
In a fractured world, connection can feel risky. Yet Romans 12 calls us to belong to one another in love, humility, and service. This week, we’ll explore what it means to be one body in Christ and how connecting across our differences can become a powerful witness to a watching world.
September 14 - RESPOND: Live What You Believe
Romans 12:14-21
Faith isn’t just what we believe. It’s how we live. This week, we’ll discover how to respond to a fractured world not with revenge or withdrawal but with courageous grace. Romans 12 calls us to bless instead of curse, to show up in joy and sorrow, and to overcome evil with good.
