SAT/SUN SNAPSHOTS (Free-4)
FREE… (4) Lawless
CELEBRATORS… Paul wrote in Romans about the dilemma we ALL face and can’t seem to find
FREEDOM from in this life… ‘I do not understand what I do! For what I want to do… I do not do… but what I hate… I do . . . For I have the desire to do what is good… but I cannot carry it out.' We take on our LAST WEEK of the FREE Series this weekend – talking about LIVING LAW…LESS…LY! Huge week on discussing the difference between RELATIONSHIP and RELIGION! You won’t wanna miss it! Can’t hardly wait to PREACH!
Below is a sneak-peak of this week’s message… (4) Lawless
Romans 8...There is NO CONDEMNATION to those who are "IN" Christ... the Spirit who gives LIFE has set you FREE!
IT’S NOT ABOUT RELIGION… IT’S ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIP!
It's not about RULE-KEEPING... It's about ABIDING "IN" and "THROUGH" HIM!
Jesus came into this world… Not only to Give His Life… FOR… You! But also to Give His Life… TO… You
Romans 7:24b… WHO… will rescue me from this body of death?
Paul doesn't ask "WHAT” must I DO...?"
He asks "WHO...?" - and that “WHO” changes everything!
The LAW doesn't make you a better RULE-KEEPER! It only reminds you of how AWFUL you are! GOD did something that you couldn't DO!
John 15:5… “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you… You will… bear much fruit; (BTW…) apart from me you can do nothing!”
The Christian life is not a life of IMITATION - it’s a life of IMPARTATION - Jesus’ LIFE "IN" and "THROUGH" YOU! (Romans 8:1-2)
