Elijah's prayer brought the fire of God onto the sacrifice and not on the people. This points to the cross where God's judgment was poured out on Jesus, who became the ultimate sacrifice for us.
Hey Friend! In this candid and inspiring conversation, I sit down with actor, filmmaker, and author Nathan Clarkson to discuss brokenness, humility, and the surprising freedom that comes from admitting our faults. Nathan shares the heart behind his new book, The Worst: How Freedom Is Found in Admitting Our Faults, and opens up about his personal journey of confronting pride, perfectionism, and hidden struggles. Together, we explore why we resist acknowledging our weaknesses, how shame keeps us stuck, and why God’s grace meets us most powerfully in our honesty. This episode is a refreshing reminder that freedom doesn’t come from pretending we have it all together—it comes from surrender, humility, and embracing the unconditional love of Christ.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FIFTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.17| THE POWER OF RETREAT|JESUS WALKING ON WATER| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Focus: Jesus' Intercessory Work for Saints (Romans 8:34) In this powerful seventeenth session, we explore the heart of Christ's ongoing ministry for His Church, His intercessory work for the saints. Romans 8:34 reminds us that “Christ Jesus… is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” This episode highlights how Jesus stands as both Savior and Judge, ensuring that His finished work secures our justification and silences the accusations of the enemy. Key Highlights: - Grounds of Intercession: Jesus intercedes to counter condemnation, affirming that the devil can accuse but cannot condemn. Only the Judge has the authority to pass sentence. - Who is the Condemner? From the Greek katakrinō, condemnation means to judge worthy of punishment. Yet, Jesus alone is the Judge of the living and the dead (Romans 2:16; 14:10). - Correction vs. Condemnation: Saints are called to lovingly correct one another, not to judge. Correction is by choice, never by force (2 Timothy 4:1). - The Fair Hearing of Humanity: Through His death and resurrection, Jesus gave mankind a fair hearing. John 3:16 reveals that His sacrifice is the balance of justice for all. - No Condemnation in Christ: Romans 8:1 and Romans 5:1 assure us that those who accept His finished work are at peace with God and cannot be condemned by Christ. - Consequences vs. Condemnation: While sin has consequences, believers are not condemned for sins already judged at the Cross. - Jesus as Savior and Judge: He cannot contradict His own work. He saves and sustains, not condemns those He has redeemed. - Intercession in Action: Jesus continually pleads our cause before the Father, establishing our justification (1 John 2; Hebrews 7:25). His intercession is not only through prayer but also through His blood. - Living in Consciousness of His Advocacy: Our eternal salvation rests on Christ's finished work and His ongoing advocacy. This is not a license to sin but a call to love God more deeply and walk in the light (1 John 1:6–7). Key Notes: - Jesus' intercession secures believers against condemnation. - The devil accuses, but only Christ judges. - Salvation in Christ is both fair and final, anchored in His death and resurrection. - Intercession is continuous, ensuring peace with God and fellowship with other believers. - Christ's advocacy inspires us to live faithfully, knowing He is working overtime to secure us in His salvation. Tune in to the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast for this enlightening session as we reflect on the miracle of Christ's intercession, a ministry that assures us of peace, justification, and eternal security in Him. Grace to you. Jesus is Lord.

https://www.christcentral.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/God-is-For-Us-Romans-81-2-Sunday-8th-February-Garnet-Swann.mp3 The post Romans 8:1-2 – No Condemnation (Garnet Swann) appeared first on Christ Central.
Why are Christians so mean to each other? Jesus said, “Do not judge.”So why does judgment feel so common, especially inside the church?In this episode of No Condemnation, John Ortberg explores one of the most uncomfortable and honest questions facing followers of Jesus today. Drawing from the life of William Tyndale, the insights of Dallas Willard, and the words of Jesus himself, John uncovers how condemnation quietly takes root among people of faith and why being “right” can slowly replace being Christlike.Today's Resources:Dallas Willard, Renovation of the HeartWilliam Tyndale, Preface to the New Testament
The message introduces Romans 8 as the greatest chapter in Scripture, portraying it as the magnificent "peak" of the gospel where Christians experientially live free from condemnation through union with Christ Jesus, marked by the abundant work of the Holy Spirit. Focusing on verse 1—"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"—the messagecontrasts the hopeless state of the condemned sinner (facing eternal wrath and death due to sin) with the believer's glorious reality of complete justification, present peace, and eternal security, urging praise, self-examination, and evangelism in response.
What if the loudest voice in your head isn't telling the truth about you? We open Romans 8 and get painfully honest about the difference between guilt and shame, why condemnation crushes identity, and how surrender to Jesus opens the door to real freedom. This isn't theory. It's Scripture paired with neuroscience, testimony, and practical steps that help you stop staring into the rearview mirror and actually drive toward a bright 2026.We share how small, consistent practices—daily time in the Bible, a Christ-centered church, and a trusted small group—reshape the stories we believe. You'll hear why neuroplasticity matters for spiritual growth, how Scripture-based self-talk rewires the mind, and what happens when eighteen strangers sit in a room, tell the truth, and discover they're not alone. From parenting analogies that illuminate God's unwavering love to the simple act of writing three focused prayers for the year, we map a path that is clear, doable, and anchored in grace.If shame has been telling you that your worst moment defines you, come hear how love speaks a better word. We get practical about consistency, community, and the courage to slow down and look people in the eye. Expect encouragement, concrete tools, and a strong reminder: there is no condemnation for those in Christ. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review to tell us your first step toward freedom this year.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com
A new MP3 sermon from Truth For Life - Alistair Begg is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Jan. 23, 2026: No Condemnation in Christ Subtitle: Messages from Truth For Life Speaker: Alistair Begg Broadcaster: Truth For Life - Alistair Begg Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 1/23/2026 Length: 43 min.
The seventeenth-century minister Thomas Jacomb once wrote of Romans 8, “From first to last, it is high gospel.” Beginning with “no condemnation” and ending with the assurance that nothing can separate us from God's love, it is one of the most magisterial and encouraging chapters in all of Scripture. In this message, Alistair Begg begins a short tour through its profound depths, helping us to grasp the solution to the predicament of sin, the necessity of being “in Christ,” the relationship between freedom and the law, and the call to walk in newness of life by God's Spirit.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”Romans 8:1 NKJVHappy weekend everyone,please take care of yourselves
We live in a culture of condemnation: cancel culture, self-judgment, outrage, and quiet shame. Most of us are swimming in it without even realizing it.But the good news of Jesus points to a radically different reality: “There is now no condemnation.”In this episode, John Ortberg explores why condemnation feels so normal, how it shapes both our inner lives and our public conversations, and what it looks like to become a person of blessing instead of judgment. Along the way, we reflect on the remarkable true story of a six-year-old girl who responded to hatred not with fear or anger, but with prayer—and changed history in the process.Today's Resources:Robert Coles, The Story of Ruby BridgesDallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy

At the heart of this message lies one of the most liberating declarations in all of Scripture: 'Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.' This single verse from Romans 8:1 serves as a gateway into understanding what it truly means to live as a believer. We're reminded that just as Paris had to completely demolish its condemned districts rather than merely renovate them, God doesn't simply improve our old lives—He resurrects us entirely. This isn't about behavior modification or trying harder to be better Christians. It's about recognizing that condemnation, which always leads to death, has been completely removed through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. The message challenges us to stop living with bowed shoulders under the weight of guilt and instead stand triumphantly in the reality that the sentence of death has been lifted. We're encouraged to understand this as a present-tense reality—not something that happens only in eternity, but right now, in this very moment. The powerful illustration of the classroom where everyone received an 'A' on day one captures this beautifully: we're no longer striving to earn God's approval, but living freely in the approval He's already given us. This transforms everything about how we approach our faith journey, our daily struggles, and our understanding of God's grace.
Becomenew.com/Give Thank you for being on the journey with us. We are so grateful and plan to keep at it.We will return with FRESH teaching from John on January 1st and then again January 19th for our new series: NO CONDEMNATION.
Romans 8:1 is a classic Paul statement. But what does it look like for us to actually live with no condemnation?
"There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Christ Jesus." We're in Romans chapter 8 today! Join us :)
Imagine standing before a judge, knowing you're guilty, the evidence overwhelming, your failure undeniable. Just as you're about to confess, someone steps between you and the bench, declaring 'not guilty' on your behalf. This is the breathtaking reality Romans 8 reveals to us. We journey from the depths of Romans 7, where we wrestle with our own wretchedness and ask 'who will deliver me from this body of death?' to the triumphant declaration that there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. This isn't just theological theory—it's the lived tension we all experience. We're still in the flesh, still breathing sinful air, still struggling with why we do what we don't want to do. Yet the Spirit of the living God dwells within us. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in our mortal bodies. We're called to set our minds not on the flesh, which leads to death, but on the Spirit, which brings life and peace. This means diving deep into God's Word, letting it dwell richly in us, gathering with other believers to encourage one another, and learning to cry out when we don't even have words—trusting that the Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for utterance. We're not elevated or special; we're simply people in whom God chooses to dwell, and that changes everything about how we live each ordinary day.**Sermon Notes:****Introduction:**- The speaker, Pastor Will, introduces the series on the book of Romans, specifically focusing on Romans chapter 8.- Emphasizes the significance of Romans 8 as one of the most important chapters in the Bible.**Key Points:**1. **Courtroom Analogy:** - Illustration of a courtroom scene where one is guilty but Jesus steps in, declaring "not guilty." - Romans 8:1 states, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."2. **All Are Guilty:** - Romans 3:23 states all have sinned and fall short. - No hierarchy in Christianity; all are equal before God.3. **No Condemnation:** - Only those in Christ are free from condemnation. - The law exposes sin, highlighting the need for Jesus.4. **Freedom in Christ:** - Those in Christ are set free from the law of sin and death. - Galatians 2:20 discusses living by faith in Christ, not by flesh.5. **Spirit vs. Flesh:** - Believers live in the tension between flesh and Spirit. - Setting the mind on the flesh leads to death, the Spirit leads to life and peace.6. **Holy Spirit's Presence:** - Romans 8:9 emphasizes the Spirit dwelling in believers. - The Spirit is essential; without Him, one does not belong to Christ.7. **Dwelling in the Spirit:** - The Spirit wants to dwell in us, impacting every aspect of life. - Importance of being in God's Word and fellowship for spiritual growth. - Colossians 3:16 encourages letting the word of Christ dwell in us.8. **Prayer and the Spirit's Help:** - The Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we don't have the words. - Romans 8:26 highlights the Spirit's aid in our weakness.**Practical Applications:**1. **Embrace Your Position in Christ:** - Live with the assurance that you are no longer condemned if you are in Christ. - Reflect on the courtroom analogy when guilt arises.2. **Cultivate Mindset on the Spirit:** - Regularly engage with scripture; let it shape your thoughts and actions. - Seek spiritual fellowship and accountability within the church community.3. **Invite the Holy Spirit to Indwell You:** - Begin each day in prayer, asking for the Holy Spirit's guidance and presence. - Make time for worship and reflection, allowing God to dwell in your daily life.4. **Rely on the Spirit in Weakness:** - When struggling, trust that the Holy Spirit intercedes even when words fail. - Be persistent in prayer and quiet time with God.**Discussion Questions:**1.

This past weekend, Pastor Jim presented us with “The List.” The List is comprised of 1st Corinthians 13:4–8, which is the love chapter and Galatians 5:22, which lists the fruit of the spirit. He said, “God expects us to love others like it's listed in these verses. It's a goal for us to achieve. And, really, this is how God loves us.”The Lord asked Pastor Jim to examine his life in comparison to the items on the lists to see how he stacks up, and then to use the outcome of the examination to bring about change where needed. After he went through the list, he asked the congregation, “When we went through those 22 things on the list, raise your hand if you felt any condemnation at all.” Many raised their hands. He said, “To those people who raised their hands, what that says is you do not completely believe or understand the cross, the resurrection, and what comes with it. If you think God is condemning you, you have no faith.”Our Links–• Join The Prayer Movement!: https://theprayermovement.com• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingwordmn• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/livingwordmn• Stay up to date with all things LWCC at https://www.LWCC.org• Join our Online Church community here: https://www.lwcc.org/onlinechurch• Give online: https://www.lwcc.org/give/• If you recently committed your life to God, we'd like to give you a free eBook to help you in your spiritual journey.

Imagine being set free, TRULY free, from condemnation?Imagine being set free from all sin - sin in our past, in our present, in our future?We don't have to imagine it, because that is PRECISELY the truth of a believer's life in Christ. We are set free from guilt and shame, set free to "go and sin no more" (John 8:11).Today, I begin a brand new series in the most significant passage of Scripture, Romans Chapter 8, where we read, "There is now therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus."Join me as we being this incredible new journey in this remarkable passage of Scripture!(RAR2025EP47)
As Paul said, "There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus". So stop condemning yourself! Be thankful for nothing.
Series: STANDALONE SERMON | Scripture: Romans 8:28-39 | Description: A look at how God's unshakeable love, sovereign grace, and redemptive purpose anchor believers with hope and assurance amid the universal suffering, brokenness, and human frailty of life.
This episode goes into detail how we become adopted and born again! We are children of God! Which we called to do something great for our Lord!
To be condemned is to be declared punishable, to be sentenced to death. That's what we deserve for our sins... but we're told there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus!
This is Romans Part 2: The Gospel – The New Humanity (Romans 5–8). In these chapters, Paul shows how the good news of Jesus doesn't just pardon sinners—it creates a whole new humanity. Through Christ, we are freed from sin, filled with the Spirit, and assured of God's unshakable love."No Condemnation" is a sermon based on Romans 8:1-11 preached by lead pastor Billy Glosson.This sermon was preached at Mission Church — a church in Morganton, North Carolina in the heart of Burke County.Join us in person on Sundays, 10 AM221 Herron St.Morganton NC, 28655
Elijah's prayer brought the fire of God onto the sacrifice and not on the people. This points to the cross where God's judgment was poured out on Jesus, who became the ultimate sacrifice for us.
No CondemnationFalse prophets, false teachers, and wolves are those who promote the law of sin and death. They live with disregard for God and use guilt to control others into following them. But for those who are in Christ, there is freedom as we walk out our faith with deep reverence for the One who loves our soul.
In week 1 of Anchored: A Journey Through Romans 8, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Romans 8:1–11. As followers of Jesus, we've been freed by God from the penalty of sin! But that doesn't mean we won't still struggle with it. In the struggle against sin, we can easily get discouraged and feel condemned. But, the Bible says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! We can get back up when we fall because God is continuing to free us from the power of sin—and when He returns, He will free us from the presence of sin. If you've been feeling defeated or discouraged in your struggle against sin, this sermon is for you.
If you were stranded on a desert island with only one chapter of the Bible, which one would you want? When Dr. Barnhouse posed this question to twenty prominent Bible teachers of his day, several of them chose Romans 8. It begins with a declaration of no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, and ends with a promise of no separation from the love of God. Join us today as Dr. Donald Barnhouse begins to explore the riches of this magnificent chapter of Scripture on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.
