This Easter season we are considering how we might "Practice the Resurrection" — to borrow a phrase from the poet Wendell Berry. Our aim is to better understand the resurrection of Jesus and learn to apply its implications to our everyday lives. If that's our goal, then there is no better place to turn than Romans 8, which forms the heart and center of Paul's most famous letter. Over the course of the next six weeks, we will take a deep dive into Romans 8, drawing inspiration from N. T. Wright's book "Into the Heart of Romans," and N.T. Wright himself will conclude the series on June 1!
Despite our background or familiarity with the Bible, we all have questions about the Christian faith. It has become increasingly more difficult to separate authentic Christianity from its counterfeits and to know where to turn to make sense of how Jesus' message applies to our own lives and to the issues of our day. Christianity is oftentimes twisted and distorted by people with their own agenda, which makes it all the more difficult to figure out who Jesus really is and what he's all about. But what if the true message of Christianity is quite different than what we had always thought? Let's reconsider Jesus, together. Send us your questions at seniorpastor@centralchurchnyc.org.
