"The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we ARE children of God...fellow heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:16). These are among the most important words we can ever receive. Our Father in heaven is intent on securing our true nature by demonstrating His true nature!
Join us as we see what this means for each one of us in real time even now, as Jesus invites us, by His Spirit, to participate with Him in the restoration of all things!
Bondage of the Will
So many people cling to the notion of "free will" despite that they cannot freely choose to always do the right thing. Scripture confirms this: "For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate."Romans 7:15. What we discover both in life and, more importantly, in God's word, is that our will is bound by another force: sin. So the debate is not about whether we have free will, but what to do about the prison we find ourselves in! And this prison is not only something that we have been born into, but something we help build and reinforce regularly!
We need the rescuer! And it is not going to be about some "sentimental" or "warm fuzzy" kind of feeling, but rather the POWER of the RISEN CHRIST who DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRISON! Please join us for what might be one of the most important sections of Scripture in the whole Bible!
