Rooted - Week 12 - Stronger than Sin

January 22, 2023 • Jon Thompson • Romans 8

Most Christians are comfortable with the idea that we will receive the gift of freedom from sin in an eternal afterlife. What we struggle with more is the idea that God has given us the Holy Spirit in this life, and that the Spirit lives in us right now, and grants us power that we don't have on our own. Pastor Jon digs into Romans 8 and expounds on the liberation from a dark, desperate life that is only possible with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Rooted - Week 19 - Don't Give Up

March 12, 2023 • Jon Thompson • Romans 16

When we feel overlooked, underappreciated, and even unseen by others, we need to remember that we are always seen by the One that matters, Jesus. Pastor Jon finishes up our time in Romans with assurances that God will carry us to the finish as we remain faithful in our service to Him.

February 26, 2023 • Jon Thompson • Romans
