At this time of year, people celebrate the birth of Jesus, which fulfills one promise and portends yet another. It is that second promise, outlined in Romans 8, that Jim explores in this sermon.
We are, in many ways, like Mephibosheth – broken and subject to death – but we have gained our freedom, because “anyone who has died has been freed from sin” (Romans 6:7). But Christian freedom is based on the decision to first…die.
In this lesson, Mike looks at three very specific purposes of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit marks you as a child of God. The Spirit gives life and set you free. The Spirit helps you to pray. The critical question is whether or not our minds are set on earthly things or on “Spirit-ual” things?
