15. The Transformational Charismatic Church of Romans 12 - Fr. Michael Flowers 9.15.24

St. Aidan's Anglican Church, Kansas City - weekly talks

Image by Anita Powers (Pentecost Banner at St. Aidan's) Romans 12 describes Paul's vision of Gospel outcomes. He moves from how God has worked through salvation history, arriving at the coming of Jesus in his incarnation, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and the sending of the Holy Spirit. In terms of catholicity, how the Gospel becomes the life-giving seeds for the healing of the world, he concludes with how Jew and Gentile have both been assigned to disobedience so that GOD CAN HAVE MERCY ON ALL! Romans 12 sets forth how redeemed people can be transformed and minister the grace of God via a diversity of gifts fostering a community of love. Metanoia (repentance) leads to metamorphosis (transformation) and yields a growing transformed body of believers, captivated by love eternal on earth. Jesus is Lord over the metaverse!
