RAISE THE SAILS

January 3, 2021 • Craig Smith • Romans 8:1–4

We kick off the new year with a series on Romans 8. It has been called the most important chapter of the entire Bible by some because it is almost a summary of the heart of the Christian faith and instructs on how to take hold of everything that following Jesus has to offer. It begins with words that are a fresh wind to a weary soul.

SEVEN CRITICAL QUESTIONS

February 7, 2021 • Craig Smith • Romans 8:31–39

In your belief in Christ, there are no other adversaries who have even a chance of overcoming Jesus. God is for you. No one and no thing can separate you from Jesus. Your salvation isn't based in your performance, but in God's purpose for you.

THE WAY TO GLORY

January 31, 2021 • Craig Smith • Romans 8:26–30

The Holy Spirit is active in our lives because God has always known you as his son or daughter, even before you existed. He had a plan for you to become all he wanted you to be. When you say yes to Jesus, you are forgiven completely. The end goal for you is to be glorious! Through the Holy Spirit, your prayers and your circumstances can be worked through God to his glory and your redemption.

HOPE OF GLORY

January 24, 2021 • Reza Zadeh • Romans 8:18–25

Everyone has questions about suffering and why it is all around us. We know that even as believers in Christ we will still experience pain in this life. But our Christian hope is that we are now placed in Christ for eternity and we look to the future glory to come. We wait for that glory, making our way there through patience and prayer, knowing that to experience resurrection, you must first experience a death. We wait for that time with eager anticipation.
