Fighting Sin by the Spirit | Romans 8:5-13

No Condemnation | Romans 8:1-4

After the anguish of Romans 7, Romans 8 opens with one of the most glorious declarations in the Bible: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” In this sermon, we see why that verdict is secure — because God has done what the law could not do, sending his own Son to condemn sin in the flesh and fulfil the righteous requirement of the law for us.

Our God is How Big? | Genesis 1:1-2

We often say God is big, but our anxious, busy, self-reliant lives can reveal that we are living with a much smaller view of him.

The Deceitfulness of Sin | Romans 7:7-13
