Sermons on Romans 7:7:

War Against The Sinful Nature

Contributed by A Armtrong on Nov 16, 2000

If you walk in the Spirit, you'll not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

We must remember that we must not judge the meaning of the Word of God by what our lives are, but we must judge our lives by what the Word of God says. The 7th chapter of Romans is probably one of the most controversial, and I think one of the most misunderstood, chapters in the Bible. Romans ...read more

Before The Law

Contributed by Duke Jeffries on Oct 18, 2000

A. INTRODUCTION 1.

A. INTRODUCTION 1. Many Bible scholars consider the sixth and seventh chapters of the Epistle to the Romans to be among the most difficult to grasp in all of Scripture.

Released From The Performance Trap Series

Contributed by Timothy Peck on Jan 4, 2001

When we place our faith in Jesus Christ, our relationship to the ten commandments changes.

In 1995 an obscure Alabama circuit judge named Roy Moore became a national symbol of controversy. You see, Judge Moore displays a handmade copy of the ten commandments in his courtroom. That’s provoked the wrath of atheist groups and the ACLU, yet Judge Moore has remained steadfast in his right to ...read more

Confused Yet Saved

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Oct 28, 2005

This is a sermon that honestly looks at how even as Christians, we still struggle with the things we know we should and should not do.

One of my things as a pastor is that I try to be as transparent as I can be. I tend to share stories that show my faults as much as my strengths. It’s kind of like the pastor who was told by his church, “Preacher, we’ve always heard our pastors say they were sinners just like us, but you are the ...read more

This message reveals sin in a little different way.

UNDERSTANDING SIN Romans 7:7-25 (Begin with the skit – “Do Not Touch” – chair) 1. What is it about being told “not to” that cause us to “want to?” For some, reason, just the knowledge that we are not supposed to do “a thing” is enough to motivate us to “do it”. 2.

The Christian And The Law Series

Contributed by Scott Kircher on Jul 24, 2011

In Romans 6, Paul dealt with those who think they can do whatever they want now, even live sinfully. Now Paul turns to those who think they need to follow “the rules” in order to be a Christian. What we find is that our only hope for living is a relatio

Belonging To Another Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Aug 29, 2011

We can try to live by a code of rules or we can live by a relationship. We could put it this way: True release comes from a relationship with Jesus, not from rules.

Belonging to Another Romans 7:1-6 1 Do you not know, brothers-- for I am speaking to men who know the law-- that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is ...read more

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Aug 29, 2011

God's law is good because He is good; Sin is bad and deceives us into rebelling against God; The effects of sin are ugly, but God wants to forgive and restore us to Himself!

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Romans 7:7-13 7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet." 8 But sin, seizing the ...read more

Romans, Part 21 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Mar 9, 2011

Paul continues to describe the the Gentile that we are in a battle, a battle against sin and a battle to bring as many as we can to Jesus Christ. We must control our minds and become slaves to Christ in everything that we experience in life.

The Law Is Holy, Just And Good Series

Contributed by Ed Taylor on Dec 23, 2008

The law is God’s standard showing us our need for a Savior.

1. Reading through this section of Romans, we might easily forget that Paul is pointing us to the wonderful grace of God. • One of the reasons is that many put the discussion in an EITHER/OR situation. • IT’S EITHER all grace and NO LAW. • OR ALL LAW and NO GRACE. • But Paul has taught us it’s ...read more

The Land And Death Series

Contributed by Gary Moore on Feb 6, 2008

This message deals in part with Paul’s view of law and grace.

Apart from the law, sin lies dead. I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. The meaning of this section of Romans is laden with controversy. Is this an autobiographical account of Paul’s futile struggle to do what is right? If so, is Paul ...read more
