In Romans 7 Paul gives us a clear description of the war that wages on in the life of a believer. We have a law problem and a sin problem but thanks be to Jesus we have a path to victory. He defines our new identity!

Romans ~ From Death to Life (Week 13)
May 1, 2022
In verse 14 of Romans 6, Paul makes to great promises, “sin shall no longer be your master” and “you are not under the law, but under grace.” These great promises are the engine that drive us to live lives as those who have been brought from death to life.
Romans ~ Consider Yourself
April 24, 2022
Once we surrender to the lordship of Jesus nothing in our lives is the same – nothing can be the same. In chapters 6-8 of Romans, Paul explains the doctrine of change in the live of a believer once they’ve been justified by faith.
Romans ~ An Inward Reality (Week 11)
April 10, 2022
In Romans, Chapter 6, Paul begins unpacking the “theology of change”; what happens because of our justification by faith. Just as if we were in and with Adam when he sinned, so too are we joined in union with Jesus. When He died, we died; when He was buried, we were buried. When He rose to life, so too we have risen to new life. Baptism is a picture of this new reality.
Romans ~ When the Unexplainable Meets the Undeniable (Week 10)
April 3, 2022
The concept of original sin is problematic for some people, that through one man, Adam, all mankind is born with the desire to sin, to try and live their life apart from God. But God is a good Father, and in His grace and mercy He provided the solution in the new Adam. God is doing a new thing through Jesus.

Romans ~ Benefits of Faith (Week 8)
March 20, 2022
Having spent the better part of four chapters explaining why trying to obtain righteousness before God any way other than faith, is not only impossible, but foolish. Paul now begins to dive into the benefits we enjoy when we are justified by faith alone. Because we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God and have unrestricted access to his presence.
Romans ~ Ingredients of Faith (Week 7)
