The epistle for Trinity 2 is the same as it was for Lent 3, Romans 5.1–8, so I link here the video discussion we previously recorded. The gospel is Jesus’ calling and sending the Twelve into the harvest field in Matthew 9.35–10.8.
In Romans 5, Paul effectively sets out his stall for the second main section of the letter, chapters 5 to 8. This is not about the consequences of justification, so much as what justification actually means—reconciled with God, we experience his peace and love, and despite our suffering, this forms in us the hope for what is to come by the gift of his Spirit in us.

Well, here, today, is a theological thoughtful overview, a culmination in Jesus, even as Romans continues in the indicative ‘mood’. Again, it is a short talk with transcript.
