Suffering. Why is there suffering? What causes it? Pastor Dan Rude explains how Romans 8 gives us perspective on suffering and an understanding that can give us hope.

How do you know if you have the Spirit? Another way to word that question is "How do you know if you're a Christian?" As we discussed last week, you cannot be a Christian without the Spirit. Paul continues to describe evidence of having the Spirit and a clear example of what being led by the Spirit looks like!

It is so important to understand the Holy Spirit and what He does. In this message, Pastor Dan Rude answers 4 questions related to who the Holy Spirit is, why He matters, and what He does in our lives.

What does life in the spirit look like? Pastor Luke Hukee emphasizes three interconnected realities crucial for Christians to understand. As we begin our study of Romans 8, which depicts the transformative role of the Holy Spirit in believers' lives, we are reminded of the profound truth in Christ: there is no condemnation for sin, we are free from the power of sin, and we are empowered to live a holy, obedient life to God.
