This week, we launch our summer worship series, We Are Still Alive and Singing a New Song, with a message from Romans 12:9–16b called "Sing Like You Mean It."

After the wind, fire, and wonder of Pentecost comes a very practical question: Now what? What do we do after we've caught a glimpse of what is possible when God's Spirit moves among ordinary people?

Writing to a young church navigating uncertainty, division, and life under Empire, Paul invites Christians not into toxic optimism or easy answers, but into a grounded hope that tells the truth and keeps building anyway. Through practices like genuine love, hospitality, shared joy, shared grief, and community, Paul paints a picture of what resurrection looks like when it becomes visible in everyday life.
