Pastor Brandon Boydstun teaches Romans 8:26–39, exploring the Holy Spirit's help in prayer, God's purpose in suffering, and the assurance that nothing can separate believers from the love of God.

In this sixth sermon from Section Three of the Romans series, Pastor Brandon Boydstun continues through Romans 8 and explores what it means for believers to be free from the flesh, adopted into the family of God, and heirs with Christ. Walking through Romans 8:12–25, this message explains how sin must be put to death by the Spirit, how believers are no longer slaves to fear but children who can cry out “Abba Father,” and how present suffering cannot compare with the glory God will reveal. Pastor Brandon reminds us that our hope is not rooted in what we can see, but in the promised redemption, future glory, and eternal inheritance given through Jesus Christ.

In sermon #5 from Section Three of Pastor Brandon Boydstun's Romans series, Pastor Brandon begins Romans 8 by unpacking the hope-filled truth that “there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Building from the struggle described in Romans 7, this message explains how believers are not freed by their own effort, but by the finished work of Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Brandon also addresses why some Bible translations include an added phrase in Romans 8:1, encouraging listeners to read Scripture with discernment while keeping the focus on Christ's saving grace. This sermon calls believers to stop living according to the flesh, set their minds on the Spirit, and walk in the new life God has given through Jesus.

Guest speaker Matt Coker shares a practical and encouraging message about trusting God with what you already have—even when your faith, confidence, abilities, or progress feel incomplete. Drawing from Moses, Gideon, the feeding of the five thousand, and other biblical examples, Matt explains how fear and perfectionism can disguise themselves as wisdom and keep us from obeying God.

Rev. Brandon Boydstun teaches Romans 7:13–25, showing why willpower cannot defeat sin and why surrender to Jesus Christ is the only hope for true spiritual freedom.

Rev. Brandon Boydstun continues the third section of his Romans study with a sermon from Romans 7:1–12, exploring what it means for believers to be released from the law through Christ. Building from Romans 6, he explains that Christians are no longer defined by sin, performance, or the fear of failing a spiritual “review,” but are united with the resurrected Christ and called to bear fruit for God. This message clarifies that the law is not sinful or useless; rather, it reveals sin, exposes darkness, and shows our need for grace. Through practical illustrations about marriage, feedback, rules, human nature, and freedom, Rev. Boydstun points listeners toward a life shaped not by condemnation, but by the Spirit, obedience, and fruitful union with Jesus.

Rev. Brandon Boydstun continues his third sermon series through Romans with a message from Romans 6:15–23 on what it means to be truly free in Christ. Building from Paul's contrast between slavery to sin and slavery to righteousness, this sermon explores why grace is not permission to keep returning to sin, how obedience flows from the heart, and why real freedom is found not in doing whatever we want, but in becoming who God created us to be. With a Memorial Day weekend reflection on freedom, the message calls believers to leave behind the bondage of sin, pursue active righteousness, and walk in the newness of life through Jesus Christ.

Rev. Brandon Boydstun returns to the Romans sermon series with the beginning of Section Three: Holiness Through Jesus Christ. Preaching from Romans 6:1–14, he explains how believers are no longer defined by their former life of sin, but are united with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. This sermon walks through the meaning of sanctification, the newness of life pictured in baptism, and the daily call to resist sin, walk in righteousness, and present ourselves to God as instruments for His kingdom.Recorded May 17, 2026Visit us at http://www.HighlandClovis.com!

This message challenges believers to examine their daily actions, words, habits, time, and surroundings, asking whether their lives are drawing others closer to Christ. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be imitators of God, avoid the darkness that pulls us away from Him, and live every moment as an act of worship.Recorded on April 19, 2026

In the first sermon of the All In series, Rev. Brandon Boydstun opens Romans 12:1-2 to explore what it means to live a fully surrendered life for God. Looking at Paul's call to become a “living sacrifice,” this message challenges believers to move beyond passive faith and into daily, active worship through the way we think, speak, work, love, and serve. Because God has given His all for us through Jesus Christ, we are invited to respond by giving our all back to Him.Recorded April 12, 2026.
