This Week | August 9 – 15, 2024
August 11 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 8:1-11, Part 24: Life in the Spirit (Summer Fest) – Pastor Mark Pospisil
Synopsis: Through Jesus Christ we can live with no condemnation in our lives. When we trust in Him, we are given the Holy Spirit. The Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. He changes, convicts and conforms us to become more like Jesus. Setting our mind on the Spirit produces life and peace and victory over sin. So, how do we live in the Spirit? Romans 8 shows us this clearly. We all have a choice to make. We can either live in the Spirit, which pleases God and is how we are designed, or live in the flesh, which produces death.
Fighter Verse: Romans 8:6 – “For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”
