Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Romans 7:15–25, tracing Paul’s anguished confession of the inward battle between the old, sinful flesh and the new spiritual nature. He distinguishes the carnal (flesh-dominated) Christian from the spiritual man, diagnoses the struggle, sin, and slavery within, and urges us to reckon the old self dead. Rick applies the passage to today, calling the church to feed the spirit with Scripture and prayer, resist cultural and doctrinal apostasy, and mortify fleshly appetites, while warning against self-reliant programs and false comforts. His conclusion and hope: true, ongoing deliverance comes only through Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, a salvation that is positional, progressive, and coming to completion.
