In this message, Pastor Finu unpacks Romans 7:7–25 to show how the gospel reframes our struggle with sin. In a world that expects perfection or excuses failure, Paul admits he does what he hates—and that very fight proves he's alive in Christ. The law isn't the villain; it's the UV light exposing what was always there. This righteousness isn't self-powered—it's Christ-powered. The message confronts despair, disarms doubt, and invites us to stop hiding and start crying out. This sermon challenges both strugglers and pretenders to drop the performance, embrace the war as worship, and live in the freedom of grace that lifts us higher.

Pastor Chris delivers a powerful, practical message on Romans 7:1-6, unpacking Paul's revolutionary claim: "You are not under law, but under grace." (Rom 6:14) Using the analogy of marriage and death, Paul shows how Christ's death becomes our death — freeing us from the law's condemnation and binding us to the risen Jesus in a new covenant of grace. Pastor Chris closes with a guided prayer over each fruit of the Spirit, inviting the Holy Spirit to highlight one area for growth. Whether you're wrestling with legalism, guilt, or wondering how to live free in Christ — this message will shift your perspective on grace, freedom, and transformation.

Welcome to the final week of our Relationships Anonymous series at Village Church!

Drawing from Psalm 139:13 and Jeremiah 1:5, Pastor Finu reminds us that children are not accidents but divine assignments with a purpose from God.

In this message from the "Relationships Anonymous" series, Senior Pastor Finu addresses conflict in relationships, framing it as a discipleship and worship issue rather than just a relational challenge. Drawing from James 4:1 and Matthew 5:23-24, he emphasizes that conflicts stem from prideful desires and hinder worship, urging believers to pursue humility and reconciliation.

A Q&A follows with Dr. Josh Cruz, a registered psychologist, who offers a practical framework for conflict resolution—aiming for unity, responding softly, staying open to influence, and repairing quickly. They answer questions on navigating opposing communication styles, rebuilding trust after betrayal, setting boundaries with in-laws, and managing financial conflicts, providing faith-based wisdom for fostering healthy relationships.
