You are invited to rise in body or spirit. / Usted está invitado a levantarse en cuerpo o espíritu.When inRomeThe Book of Romanscan be considered tobe The Gospel of Paul.Paul is a key earlyfigure in expandingthe love of God andgrace of Christ to allpeople. He had somechallenges. In Romans,Paul seeks to haveeveryone commit tonot being stumblingblocks for one anotherhowever they got tobe a part of this newfaith movement. Pauldives into the onenessof God, the onenessof the body of Christ,and invites us totrust the Holy Spiritpraying for us what wedon’t yet have wordsto express. In ourdivided world, Paul’smessage to a dividedcommunity in Romestill challenges us now.Through August wewill experience “Whenin Rome” with theApostle Paul.

Vickey GibbsContemporary Word / Lectura ContemporaneaThe Great Spiritual Migrationby Brian D. McLarenAnd if enough of us are freed from the unbearable weight of doing everythingand do the one little thing that is ours to do now, then, we can trust, God can getdone through all of us what none of us can do alone. And suddenly, it's notburdensome work. It's aliveness. It's joy. It's freedom. Instead of playing God,I'm playing with God, at play in God's good world, where everything is holy.One: In these human words, God's voice is heard.All: Amen.2

Scripture Lesson / Lectura BíblicaVan EnglishRomans 11:13-18Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to theGentiles, I glorify my ministry in order to make my own people jealous, and thussave some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what willtheir acceptance be but life from the dead! If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; and if the root is holy, then the branchesalso are holy. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild oliveshoot, were grafted in their place to share the rich root of the olive tree, do notboast over the branches. If you do boast, remember that it is not you that supportthe root, but the root that supports you.One: This is the word of God for the people of God.All: Thanks be to God.
