This message is from Romans 8:18-25. Should suffering be a reason to doubt

assurance of salvation? Paul shows us how God uses suffering to grow our

anticipation of heaven.

The message title is "Assurance - Part 3: The Spirit of Adoption" from

Romans 8:12-17. The Spirit of God has the unique ministry of indwelling

Christians and affirming our relationship to God as our heavenly Father.

The privilege of assurance in these moments is once again based on what God

has done, not on what we do.

This message is from Romans 8:5-13. In this next section of Romans 8, Paul

describes the effectual work of the Spirit versus the work of the flesh. We

absolutely need the Spirit because those who are in the flesh cannot please

God. But if we have the Spirit, we can put sin to death and experience

union with Christ.

This message is from Romans 8:1-4. Nearly every Christian struggles with

assurance of salvation at one point or another. As we look at Romans 8 for

the next several weeks we will be able to see what God has done for us

through the ministry of the Spirit and the finished work of Christ.

This message is from 2 Timothy 2:3. Each member of Christ’s body has been

powerfully set free to serve Christ on His mission, to live for His

purposes, and to bring Him glory by joining Him in His mission of advancing

the gospel.

This message is from Matthew 8:23-27. The same Jesus who stilled the storm

on Galilee…who demonstrated that he has complete control over the powers of

nature, is the Jesus who never leaves us or forsakes us. He is always in

the back of our boat, always ready to intervene when we cry out to the God

of heaven for help.

This message is from Psalm 28. How has your time of prayer been lately?

King David was no stranger to prayer. He found himself in desperate

situations, life-threatening situations, many times. In Psalm 28 we see

that God settled his heart…through prayer.

This message is from Philemon 8-25. Conflict is a real part of life.

Because of sin, there will always be need for reconciliation in our

marriages, in our families, and in our church. In Part 2 we’ll consider the

conflict between Onesimus and Philemon and seek to answer the question,

“How does the gospel lead to reconciliation?”

This message is from Philemon 1-25. In Paul’s New Testament letters we read

about the gospel; he defines it, explains it, and applies it. However, in

the letter to Philemon he doesn’t do any of that. Instead he shows us how

the gospel is lived. In particular, he shows us how the gospel is lived out

in relationships with others and especially in situations of conflict.

This message is from Leviticus 27. The last chapter of Leviticus focuses on

vows and dedications made to God. We’ll pull this theme along into the new

covenant and find the applications for us today.
