The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

If you think you know grace, think again! In my latest message from Romans 6 – one of the most power-packed passages in the entire Bible – we’ll see grace isn’t a license to sin but what keeps you walking by the Spirit and on the right path.

Paul’s question, “Or do you not know...?” serves as a wake-up call to the radical transformation you’ve undergone. Imagine living as your new self, free from the old baggage, and fully embracing who you are in Christ.
