As we begin our new series, More Than Conquerors, we’ll journey through Romans 8 and discover what it means to live by the Spirit rather than by the law.

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you. I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides you.”

Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.

Remember your Creator while you’re still young, Before the years take their toll and your vigour wanes,

Before your vision dims and the world blurs. And the winter years keep you close to the fire.

All share a common destiny-the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good man, so with the sinner; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them.

A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart. 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
