St James Lutheran Church: Sermons and Worship

The good news of the Gospel is that no one can be against us, no one can

bring any charge against us, and no one can condemn us because Jesus died for us,

rose from the dead for us, and always intercedes for us.

Suffering frequently appears to be meaningless and random, causing us to

doubt whether God is good or even if he exists. But the Bible's vision of salvation

is that God is joining our suffering to his own suffering in Jesus, and working

through it to bring about the renewal of all things.

Stuck between the suffering of this age and the return of Jesus and the new

creation, we frequently don't know what to pray for. But the Holy Spirit, who

convinces us that we are indeed God's daughters and sons, also prays to the Father

through us on our behalf.

For the past several centuries Christians in the West have embraced the

belief that the destiny of Christians is to "go to heaven when we die." But

according to Paul, the story of salvation that God is writing in history does not

end with believers living in a disembodied heaven forever but with the renewal of

all of creation, including the restoration of our bodies and the setting up of a

universal kingdom of righteousness and peace here on his renewed earth.

What does it mean to live in the Spirit? How can I know that I have the

Holy Spirit? How can I know that I really belong to God? In this study of Romans

8:5-17, Aaron Mueller explains Paul's answers to these questions and invites us to

explore how life in the Spirit is the key to knowing who we are in Christ.
