The fall of mankind brought a curse upon all of creation. Our present creation groans in frustration waiting for a future day of hope, the day when Jesus Christ will reverse the curse. Romans 8:23 says, "And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us." Let’s join Pastor John Miller right now in Romans chapter 8 today with the message Groaning for Glory

In our text today we are introduced to the theme that speaks of present suffering and future glory. Scripture tells us, "And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God's glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.” Paul also says that all creation groans in hope of being liberated from the curse. God has a purpose and a hope.

The Bible tells us that the Spirit of God is alive and at work within the lives of those who belong to Christ. Romans 8:14 says, "For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God." Paul used the term children or sons of God to remind believers that they enjoy an intimate relationship with their heavenly Father. As Christians, we are the children of God and we have the blessed assurance of being led by the Spirit of God. Let’s join Pastor John Miller right now in Romans chapter 8, verse 14 with the message Sons and Heirs…

Paul says, "The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace." So as we sow to the Spirit, we have eternal life and peace with God. Every day we must continually surrender and yield our minds, emotions, our wills and our bodies to the control and the power of the Holy Spirit. And as we walk in the Spirit we live a life that can please God. So what exactly does it mean to be spiritually minded? Let’s join Pastor John Miller right now as he explains further in today’s message Life in the Spirit…

The key to the Christian life is walking in the spirit. Today, we turn the pages of scripture to Romans chapter 8, beginning in verse 5 where we read, "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit." Our focus will be determined by whichever is ruling us – my flesh or my spirit. The Holy Spirit wants to influence our minds.

In Billy Graham’s book, The Holy Spirit, he says: “Man has two great spiritual needs. One is for forgiveness. The other is for goodness. Consciously or unconsciously his inner being longs for both. There are times when man actually cries for them even though in his restlessness, confusion, loneliness, fear and pressures, he may not even know what he’s crying for.” Through the cross of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we realize that God has provided both forgiveness and goodness. Let’s join Pastor John Miller right now with the message A New Liberation…

Romans chapter 8, verse 1 says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." The key phrase here is that we are in Christ Jesus. We are no longer condemned by the Law of Moses, because we have entered into a new relationship with Jesus Christ. Verse 2 goes on to explain, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." There is no condemnation; we are forgiven and have been made free. The new law of life in Christ Jesus replaces the old law. Let’s join Pastor John Miller right now with the message A New Liberation…

Here scripture proclaims: "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.” God has acquitted the believer from the penalty of sin and lifted the sentence. He has forgiven us and set us free from the power of sin. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Today Pastor John speaks to us about our assurance of salvation. Let’s join him right now in Roman’s chapter 8, with the message No Condemnation…

All of God’s redemptive plans and purposes come together in in the eighth chapter of Romans. It is Paul’s summary of how God saves sinners. Here scripture proclaims: "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.” The death of Christ on the cross saved us from the ultimate penalty for our sins: eternal separation from God. Belief in Jesus Christ eliminates all condemnation because He imputes His righteousness to us.  We are in Christ, declared righteous by God the Father.
