All Christians can agree that God's ways are ultimately beyond human comprehension, especially on the subject of predestination and election. In Romans 8-9, the Apostle Paul reminds us that God's choice for our lives is a sovereign one and totally independent of any human's work or merit. While these doctrines have profound and practical implications for our Christian faith, they can also influence how believers view their salvation. Listen as Pastor John encourages us to study the paradox of free will and God's sovereignty, while always allowing God's Holy Word to speak to us.

Believers in Jesus Christ, though redeemed spiritually, are still awaiting the full redemption of their earthly bodies along with the promise of eternal life. Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 8 that all of creation and all of mankind are groaning as God longs to be united with His children, longing to return us to an edenic state of the garden. As citizens of heaven, we are free from the weight of demonic slavery on this earth and can confidently set our hearts on our future glory. Pastor John reminds us today that we are free to have hope when we look at our life through heavenly eyes.

The law of the spirit of life in Christ has set believers free from the law of sin and death. The Apostle Paul contrasts these two mindsets ~flesh and spirit~ and highlights the hope and power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor John preaches an encouraging message this week of freedom from sin, starting with the biblical promise of "no condemnation" in Romans 8. He implores us to live according to God's will, sharing in the glorious inheritance of Christ through our adoption as royal heirs to His Kingdom. All believers who are called out of darkness into glorious light can revel in this hopeful commitment of God's Word.
