As Christmas approaches, it's easy to get lost in the festivities. However, true hope is found in Jesus, as highlighted in Hebrews 1. Jesus is not just a baby in a manger but the eternal Son of God, our Redeemer, and Ruler. He is the better revelation, offering a complete and final sacrifice for our sins, and His reign is marked by righteousness and justice. This season, anchor your hope in Jesus and reflect on His divine nature and redemptive work.

Romans 7 reveals the internal battle between sin and righteousness that every believer faces. Paul compares this struggle to a swimmer caught in a riptide, highlighting the difficulty of overcoming sin. The law exposes our sinfulness, showing us the depth of our rebellion against God. Despite our desire to do good, we often fail, leading to frustration. However, our hope lies in Jesus Christ, who delivers us from sin's power. Embrace the struggle, depend on Christ, and remember there is no condemnation for those in Him.

False teachers are effective due to their charisma, feel-good messages, and so-called miraculous acts. Paul warns against them in his letters, emphasizing the need for true gospel ministry, which is a gift from God. True ministry focuses on proclaiming Christ, not oneself, and is open and honest. Believers must discern and stand against false teachings, recognizing the danger of spiritual blindness caused by Satan.

In this sermon, we explore Romans 7:7-12 to understand the relationship between the Law and salvation. Paul reveals how the Law highlights sin, showing us our need for God's grace, yet it also points us to the greater salvation found in Christ. Join us as we unpack the purpose of the Law, its role in revealing our sin, and how it ultimately leads us to the transformative power of God's redemptive plan.

The New Covenant, brought by Jesus Christ, is superior to the Old Covenant as explained in 2 Corinthians 3. Unlike the Old Covenant, which relied on a temporary sacrificial system, the New Covenant offers a permanent solution for sin and the assurance of eternal life. Believers are granted the privilege of beholding the glory of the Lord and being transformed into His image through the Holy Spirit. This transformation empowers us to live boldly and confidently in our faith, proclaiming the Gospel to the world.

In Romans 7, Paul explains how Christians are freed from the law and bound to Christ, resulting in joyful obedience. Devotion to the law, as seen in the struggles of the Jews, cannot relieve guilt or produce joy because it demands perfection. Instead, salvation through Christ brings true freedom and relief from the law. Paul uses the analogy of marriage to illustrate that believers, like a widow released from the law of marriage, are now free to belong to Christ. This union with Christ empowers believers to serve in the new way of the Spirit, leading to a life that bears fruit for God. True freedom is found in being bound to Christ, not in escaping the law, and this freedom allows for joyful obedience and a deeper attachment to holiness.

In Romans 6, Paul presents a stark choice: serve sin or serve righteousness. Sin, though enticing, leads to impurity, lawlessness, and ultimately death. It promises satisfaction but leaves you enslaved and unsatisfied. Conversely, serving God leads to sanctification, spiritual maturity, and eternal life. Paul stresses that obedience reveals your true master. The Roman believers were commended for their heartfelt obedience to God's teachings, not as a means to earn salvation, but as a response to God's grace. As you stand at this crossroads, consider whom you will serve. Reflect on your life and choose to present your body as a slave to righteousness, experiencing the true freedom and eternal life that comes from serving God.
