Introduction

Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ! Today, we're diving into a deep and beautiful piece of Scripture from the book of Romans, which calls us to a higher level of worship. It's about more than just singing songs on a Sunday morning; it's about living a life of worship, every day, in everything we do. As our respected brother in Christ, A.W.
