Swimming Upstream

Greetings New Lifer-s! Pastor Bill here.

This week I encourage you to work through Romans Chapter 12 with me. I have a suggested reading portion for each day and a verse I have chosen for you to focus on.
I love nature. (the fact that almost EVERY message I do has a nature illustration might hint at that!)

The amazing migration of salmon up the rivers, against the current and against all odds to achieve their God ordained goal is, to me, a wonderful illustration of an authentic Christian spiritual journey. The Bible refers to “walking the narrow road”, “running your race”, “fighting the good fight” and many other illustrations, but let me add the salmon spawning migration to those!

Romans 12:9-13
We swim in love.
“Love must be sincere.” Vs 9

“And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:13
