There Must Be Birth Pains
Text: Romans 8:19-22 ALL creation is waiting for God to reveal. . .US! It’s waiting patiently, eagerly, and with expectation for us to fully have our adoption in Jesus Christ. No part of nature exists the way God intended it to exist because of sin. Even man is not living to the fullness of what God intended because of sin. Because of the fall of man, from that point on, nothing has functioned the way God intended it to function.…
From Suffering To Glory
Text: Romans 8:18 There’s a suffering aspect in the believer’s life that has to take place. This suffering takes place because we are associated with Christ. We suffer because we are being made into the image of our Lord and Savior. We suffer because we are denying the world and standing true to scripture. This is considered suffering, because people get offended when presented with the Gospel. We also have the suffering of the present age because of the fall…
Freedom From Sin
Text: Romans 8:1-4 We are free from the guilt and the penalty of sin. Have you ever tried and tried and tried to do what’s right, but kept falling short? Oh, what a wretched man am I! But, God says we are not condemned if we’re serving Him. Right now and forever, we are not condemned! To be in Christ is to be born again and to have complete faith and trust in Him. Only believers have this freedom. Do…
Adopted Into God’s Family
Text: Romans 8:14-17 We need to know who we are and where we came from. We need the assurance. In order to be a child of God, there is a requirement. We must be lead by the Spirit of God. He guides us into all Truth. He reveals to us Who Jesus is. The Holy Spirit leads us to repentance. He helps us to die to the flesh. He helps us to be who we were created to be. We…
The Holy Spirit And Our Responsibility
Text: Romans 8:12-13 Once we are born again, the Holy Spirit lives in us. Because of that, we are no longer controlled by the flesh, but by the Spirit. We’ve been pocessed by the Holy Spirit. We are no longer dead to sin, but alive in Christ. We now have a new position. We’ve been made righteous. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us! Therefore, we have the promise of eternal life. We are…
New Life
Text: Romans 8:9-11 When we give our lives over to Christ, we have a new position in life. A transformation has taken place and our thinking has changed. We now have the Holy Spirit living in us and we are no longer controlled by our sin nature. New life has begun! We are brand new! We’ve been sealed with the Holy Spirit. Our identity has changed and we no longer operate in the flesh. Those who live in the flesh…
There Are Two Types Of People
Text: Romans 8:5-8 There are no gray areas in christianity. We are either a believer or we’re not! We’re saved or we’re not saved! There is no in-between. The difference between the two is the way we think. We do not think as the world thinks and the world doesn’t think as we think. There has to be a difference. The world goes after the fleshly desires while the believers go after the spiritual desires. . .those things that bring…
The Reality Of The Resurrection
Text: 1 Corinthians 15:1-19 We think of so many different things when it comes to Easter. . .candy, the Easter bunny, baskets, etc. But, our focus is not on the Resurrection. The Resurrection is a core Truth of our foundation. If we don’t believe in the totality of Jesus Christ, we cannot call ourselves christians. We live in a society today that the fullness of Jesus Christ is not accepted. If we only belive in partiality, then our believing is…
The Gift Of Peace
Text: John 14: 25-27 We are in some fearful times right now, but be encouraged. Jesus is with us! He has not left us! Our hope is in Him! Everybody wants peace, harmony, and security. God’s peace does not refer to these things. It’s about relationship and a promise kept within that relationship. A relationship with someone you trust and who puts you at ease. . .with someone you know who will keep His promises. God’s peace is a covenant…
How Does A Believer Respond In The Face Of A Crisis
Text: Various scripture The believer’s response should be different from the world’s response. The first thing we should do is maintain our joy. We will have tests and trials in our life, but our circumstances don’t change who we are in Christ. We need to count it all joy because it produces patience in our lives. . .a patience of endurance to hold on to Jesus and keep moving on. We are complete in Jesus! Every test and trial comes…
