We're All Broken Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 21, 2011

When God Says 'no'

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 25, 2017

In Romans 8:5 Paul is focusing on the two ways Christians can choose to live. They can “live according to the sinful nature” or they can choose to “live in accordance with the Spirit.” What determines whether I will walk in the flesh or in the Spirit?
