This week’s message from Romans 8:12–17 invites us to see the Christian life through two powerful callings—aspiration and mortification. Eric reminds us that while God has made us more than conquerors through Christ, we still face a daily battle with the “kudzu” of sin that tries to reclaim the ground God has freed. But we do not fight alone: the Spirit empowers us to put sin to death and to become who God envisions us to be. And as adopted sons and daughters of God, we fight not out of fear but out of identity—heirs with Christ, led by the Spirit, crying “Abba, Father.” This sermon is a strong encouragement to step into your freedom and live as the child of God you truly are.
