God’s Sacrifice Who Sets Truly Free from Condemnation
In Romans 8:3, the Apostle Paul explains God has done what the law could not do.

“But…
Freedom through the Holy Spirit
In Romans 8:2, the Apostle Paul reveals the amazing power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer.

Have You Deceived Yourself?
In 1 Corinthians 3:18–23, the apostle Paul compares the wisdom of the age to the wisdom of God. Pastor Ben Bessett preaches the danger of self-deception, the solution to being self-deceived, God’s response to worldly wisdom, and trusting in God’s wisdom.

Freedom in Christ
In Romans 7:25b–8:1, a life in Christ leads away from condemnation into a life of freedom, setting us free from the power of the flesh. Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches struggling under the law, living in Christ, and freedom from condemnation.
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

The Three Laws in the Life of a Believer
In Romans 7:21-25, the Apostle Paul explains that the believer struggles with competing laws in his/her life, but the solution is found in Christ Jesus. Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches the law of the flesh, the law of God, and the law of the renewed mind.
“Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

With 1 Kings 2:1-4, we continue our survey of Bible books, focusing on several main characters, three failing kings: Solomon, Rehoboam, and Jeroboam. Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches the wisdom and sin of Solomon, the folly of Rehoboam, the sin of Jeroboam, and the application for us.

Indwelling Sin in the Believer
In Romans 7:15–17, we discover the believer’s confusion between the holy desires of the new man and the inability of the flesh to be holy.
