Do your good desires keep turning into crippling, ungodly obsessions? You're not alone. This sermon explores the deeply human—and deeply Christian—struggle against the "wretched man" war Paul describes in Romans 7. We all want good things like health, wealth, or a loving marriage, but they quickly become idols that rule our lives and steal our peace.
It's not more religious rules or accountability structures—it's about reorienting your deepest longings.
Discover how obsessively desiring the Holy Spirit is the only way to keep your desires in check and finally experience the life and peace (shalom) you crave.
