SATURDAY/SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (Free - 1)
FREE… (1) It’s Worse Than You Thought!
CELEBRATORS… Can’t hardly wait to start our new series… FREE! In Romans… there are two Bible verses that everybody can relate to… ‘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.' -- Can I get an 'Amen' here? Perhaps a 'Been there… done that'…? So what DO you DO when you just can't seem to DO what you know you ought to DO? Fortunately… the guy (Paul) who described this PROBLEM provided the ANSWER! Don’t miss this series… gonna be LIFE-CHANGING!
Below is a sneak-peak of this week’s message… (1) It’s Worse Than You Thought!
Ever felt it’s IMPOSSIBLE to SOLVE a PROBLEM... that you don't even know what the PROBLEM is?
Romans 7:15-19... Why DOn't we just DO... what we're supposed to DO? The PROBLEM is easier to FIX then you think!
Romans 5:12... SIN is a NOUN that leads to VERBS... SINNING!
SIN... leads to more SINNING!
Fix the NOUN - then HE can work on fixing the VERBS!
The PROBLEM that needs to be FIXED is this... Your PROBLEM isn't... your SIN...NING! Your PROBLEM is that you’re a SIN...NER! (Recognize that first!)
Romans 5:17... (Key Words) "IN LIFE!" Being IN CHRIST doesn't just get you into heaven... it promises SOLUTIONS to your PROBLEMS in the RIGHT NOW!
Is it POSSIBLE… that we can live a life “IN CHRIST”… “THROUGH JESUS”… THAT… OVERPOWERS the POWER that HAD CONTROL of ME… IN SIN?
Romans 5... ADAM… did something WRONG… and it effected… EVERYONE! JESUS… did something RIGHT… and it has UNDONE… what ADAM… DID!
