August 1, 2021 - Rediscovering Romans - Pt 11 - God Is For Us

We tend to live our relationships through if you do this for me, I will do this for you. But God is not like that. God is 100% for us all the time and God is good all the time. 

July 25, 2021 - Rediscovering Romans - Pt 10 - Living In The Power Of The Holy Spirit

What is the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives, and how do we live in the power of the Spirit?

July 18, 2021 - Rediscovering Romans - Pt 9 - No Condemnation

In Romans 5 Paul begins laying out how justification by faith is lived out in a way that changes us.

So many of our struggles in life center around areas where we wrestle with defensiveness, needing to feel worth while, loved, valuable...secure.
