Romans: Rooted in Jesus - Selfless Love

This past week, at a Coldplay concert, the kiss cam focused on a couple embracing each other, urging them to kiss on camera. Once they saw themselves on camera, they immediately separated. The man disappeared, leaving the woman standing alone, and the women turned away from the camera. As it turns out, they were both married to other people, and their adultery was exposed before the world. Their sin has devastated their families, cost them their jobs, and made them the laughing stock of the world. The memes that have come out are brutal.

Our text this week speaks to that moment. Paul urges us to put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for our flesh. Our flesh is focused on self which harms others, not just ourselves. Instead, we’re challenged to live lives of love. Love does not harm others, it blesses others. Join us Sunday as we worship the One who lived for us and not for Himself.
