Romans:
Life in Christ
In the Book of Romans the author, the apostle Paul, paints a stunning picture of what life with Christ looks like. We learn what we were like without Christ and who we are when we trust in Christ. In this series we will look at challenging our cultural norms around how we use our bodies, how we relate to the government and to others, and how we treat our time.

Romans 6
In her talk on Romans 6, Helen explains how our perception of God will greatly affect how much we trust him to lead our lives. However, if we do trust him to lead us, we will follow a path that leads to eternal life rather than one that results in death. But it is impossible to leave our old way of life unless we stop serving our old master, sin, and start serving God.
