This coming Lord’s Day, we will begin a brief series of sermons entitled, “The Curious Paradoxes of Our New Identity in Christ.”  These messages will be based upon five passages from the Epistle to the Romans.  We will study some of the strange, and apparently contradictory, ways that Paul describes our unique identity as Christians.  The five passages and descriptions are:

One: We Are Gentiles and We Are Jews–Romans 2:28-29

Two:  We Are Alive and We Are Crucified–Romans 6:4

Three: We Are Free and We Are Slaves–Romans 6:17-18

Four:  We Are Living and We Are Being Sacrificed–Romans 12:1

Five:  We Are Strong and We Are Weak–Romans 15:1
