Romans 8:1-13 – In Christ I Am Declared Not Guilty
Romans 8 is a very important chapter in Romans. In this first sermon through the chapter, Pastor Kyle looks at Paul’s words in verses 1-13. Paul says that in Christ we are not condemned. That is a legal phrase that points to a judge looking at the facts and then declaring, “not guilty!” How amazing is it to see that he declares us not guilty through Jesus Christ! We are set free in Christ to walk “according to the spirit,”…
Romans 6:1-14 – Wake Up! You Are Dead

Romans 3:21-31 – The Righteousness of God
Verses 21-26 are viewed my some scholars and pastors as the most important part of Romans.
