October 29, 2017 14:51 - 46 minutes - 10.7 MB

The Spirit of Adoption

September 10, 2017 22:00 - 50 minutes - 11.5 MB

We have an obligation to live according to the Spirit and put to death the deeds of sin in the body. We have been given the Holy Spirit and adopted as sons of God, or children of God. This gives us the rights and privileges of inheritance, including addressing God as "Abba, Father."

The Spirit and the Flesh

September 03, 2017 13:40 - 50 minutes - 11.6 MB

Paul draws the contrast between being the mind of the flesh and the mind of the Spirit. The flesh (who we are in our sin nature) leads to death. But the Holy Spirit is given to us in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit brings life and equips us to walk in God's ways.

What We Have in Christ

August 27, 2017 14:43 - 50 minutes - 11.6 MB

Paul says that in Christ Jesus we have no condemnation. We have been set free from sin and death. God did this by sending His Son. Jesus died in the flesh so that we could be freed from sin and death.

Is the Law Enough?

August 20, 2017 19:45 - 48 minutes - 11 MB

Paul describes an "I" in Romans 7 who sees that the Law is good but is unable to do it. Who is the "I" and how do we relate the figure Paul describes? The problem with the Law is that it is powerless to remove the sinful flesh. This in turn shows us our need of Christ.
