The Great 8

Romans 8 reminds us that because of Jesus, condemnation no longer has the final word over our lives. This message explores what it truly means to be in Christ, the three ways we live under condemnation from ourselves, others, and Satan, and the freedom of knowing that we cannot outrun condemnation until we run into Christ.

In Romans 8:5 through 17, we see the contrast between a life driven by the flesh and a life led by the Spirit. This message explores how our identity as adopted children of God changes the way we fight sin, relate to our Heavenly Father, and walk in the freedom found in Christ, because whatever dominates our thinking eventually directs our living.

Romans 8 reminds us that suffering is never wasted in the hands of God. This message explores how God uses tests, thorns, and triumphs to shape us into the image of Christ, how the Spirit prays when we cannot, and the hope that while not all things are good, God works all things together for good.
