We’re starting our new summer worship series, When in Romans. The phrase “when in Rome” is a shortened version of the proverb “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”. It means you should adapt to the customs, traditions, or behaviors of the people in the area you are visiting. In a playful turn of phrase, our summer series helps us adapt to the letter Paul wrote to the Romans. It’s considered his masterpiece. The key to Paul’s carefully formulated message is Romans 1:16 “I’m not ashamed of the gospel: it is God’s own power for salvation to all who have faith in God, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
