Be Transformed: A Study of Romans 12

Wednesdays | September 9, 16, 23 & 30
6:30–7:30 PM | Zoom
Led by Rev. Ethan Cole

Join us for a four-week Bible study exploring Romans 12.

Romans 12 is Paul's instructions on how to take the gospel of Jesus Christ and apply it to our inner lives, church community, and our relationships with others. Particularly, those relationships that are difficult. It is an exploration of the practical application of a life of love. It's important as Christians that we hold an ethic of love, not as a vague sentiment, but as the central spiritual principle in our daily lives.

Weekly Topics

Week 1 – September 9: Transforming Ourselves

Week 2 – September 16: Transforming Communities

Week 3 – September 23: Transforming Love

Week 4 – September 30: Transforming Conflicts

Come for one week or all four—each session is open to everyone, and no previous Bible study experience is needed.

There are no required books or reading materials, although participants are encouraged to read Romans 12 in the Bible as they take part in the series. Don’t have a Bible handy? Read Romans 12 (NRSV) online: Click Here
