From Isaiah 42:1-9. Did we really need a Savior? Were we really that bad off? In a word... yes. Hundreds of years before Jesus came, God told his people how Jesus would come as The Servant, opening the eyes of the blind.
From Psalms 133 & 134. Are we blessed by God? It's an important question. God blesses those who seek him. In these two psalms, we learn two things we can do to seek God and therefore receive blessings from him.
In this sermon, we'll do an overview of Romans 1-8 from two different angles - first, a general recap; second, following a specific word through these chapters.
From Romans 8:28-39. As we wait for glory and endure suffering, God strengthens us by showing us his goodness and love. We need to learn how to see these things, though.
From Romans 8:18-27. As co-heirs with Christ, we have an amazing inheritance to look forward to. But we also experience suffering now. How should we view suffering? God gives us some wonderful gifts now as we wait for glory.
From Romans 8:1-17. In Christ, we are set free. As such, we have new lives to live. We must not, however, live any way we choose. We are not to follow the sinful nature, but the Holy Spirit.
