The Battle Of The Flesh Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 15, 2009

One of the most underrated struggles we have as Christians is that between the Spirit of God in us and the flesh trying to pull us back into ways that are not like God. If you experience that dissonance between what you want to be like and what you are li

We are conceived in bondage to a liar who wants only to steal kill and destroy us. He wants us to stay as far away from God as possible. We do what is not like God by default, it is our programming to do so. You would think that laws telling us how to behave would lessen the chances that we would ...read more

SET FREE TO BE THE BRIDE OF CHRIST Text: Romans 7:1-6 Introduction 1. Illustration: Evangelist Fred Brown used three images to describe the purpose of the law.

We Died To The Law Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 16, 2019

When a person is a Christian they are dead to sin and they are also dead to the law. In Romans 7:1-6, Paul explains why Christians are no longer under the law of Moses. What a blessing to be under grace not law.

A Detailed, Multi-Part Look At Biblical Marriage And Divorce Series

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 20, 2019

Second, only to a personal relationship with God, marriage is the single most important relationship that a Born-Again Christian will ever have.

Why The Law Cannot Fix Us Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 11, 2020

Although ignorance is a major problem in the Christian world, our biggest issue involves being rightly related to God. Many, sadly, look to law-keeping as the way to know God or receive His forgiveness. This simply will not work; we need regeneration, the work of the Holy Spirit within us.

Why the Law Cannot Fix Us (Romans 7:1-25) 1. Happy Mother’s Day to all our moms. Moms come with all sorts of personalities and approaches toward parenting. A mother is trying to get her son to eat carrots. “Carrots are good for your eyes,” she says. “How do you know?” the boy asks. The mother ...read more

Is It Possible That Christians Are Not Sinners Saved By Grace? Part 3 Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 30, 2018

This is the third message in the series. This message examines Romans 7 to see if it is talking about a Christian struggling with a sin nature.

In the first six chapters of Romans the Apostle Paul repeatedly contrasts what it means to live under the law and what it means to live by faith. He says a person will either have a nature that is governed by the law or a nature that is governed by grace. He will not have both at the same ...read more

The Problem Of Sin Is Worse Than We Thought

Contributed by Grant Van Boeschoten on Apr 5, 2017

We underestimate the power and the gravity of sin. This message seeks to show from Romans 7 and Genesis 3 the ways that sin wars against us. Yet God is more than able to overcome sin's power through Jesus Christ.

Introduction - Our Society does not take sin seriously. You don’t often hear people publicly admitting to sin. I’ve made a mistake, I should have done that better When we look at ourselves with honesty, we admit that we don’t take sin seriously We make allowance for it in our lives We think that ...read more
