In this message from Romans 8:31–34, Eric walks us through the powerful conclusion of what many call the greatest chapter in Scripture. By asking Paul's escalating questions—Who can be against us? Who can bring a charge? Who can condemn us?—we're reminded that earthly condemnation is real, but it is never final. Eric points us to what God has already done through the cross and resurrection, and what Jesus is still doing right now as our interceding Savior. This sermon offers deep comfort for anyone carrying wounds from criticism, accusation, or shame, and anchors our confidence in the unshakable truth that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. If you need assurance that nothing can undo what God has done for you, this message is for you.

Pastor Gabriel Hughes preaches on Romans 8:9-11 once again, focusing on that verse which says that the Spirit who raised Christ from the dead dwells in us and will raise us also. Visit providencecasagrande.com for more info about our church!
We are admonished by the apostle and reminded that we cannot please God living contrary to his instructions. But, if we live by his word, we know and have assurance by the in dwelling of the Christ of God; that in that great day when Jesus shall descend in the clouds with the trump of God, coming to get the righteous ones of God, we will be able to g
This powerful exploration of Luke 1:26-38 takes us into the heart of Mary's impossible situation and reveals how genuine joy emerges not from comfortable circumstances, but from surrendering to God's purpose. We're invited to imagine ourselves in Mary's sandals—a young virgin in a tiny town of perhaps 200-500 people, facing potential stoning, divorce, and lifelong shame for a pregnancy she didn't initiate. Yet her response wasn't paralysis or despair, but a pivotal declaration: 'Behold, I am the servant of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.' This message challenges us to identify our own 'impossible'—that financial strain, relational tension, uncertain future, or crushing circumstance—and apply Mary's surrender to it. The sermon beautifully connects ancient truth with modern science, exploring quantum entanglement as a metaphor for our spiritual connection with God: just as particles remain instantly connected across vast distances, the Holy Spirit dwelling within us creates an unbreakable alignment with God's heart and purposes. We're reminded that joy isn't the absence of trouble but the presence of God, and that He deliberately chooses the least likely people in the least likely situations to turn the world upside down. Mary's story becomes our story when we choose faith over fear, eternal glory over temporal shame, and God's honor over our own reputation.Chapter 1: Mary's Impossible Circumstances0:00 - 7:00We explore the cultural context of Mary's situation as a betrothed virgin in first-century Nazareth, where pregnancy outside marriage could result in stoning or lifelong shame.Chapter 2: The Source of Mary's Joy7:00 - 14:00We discover how Mary's joy emerged not from her circumstances changing, but from her deep trust in God's sovereignty and her understanding of His intimate knowledge of her life.Chapter 3: The Holy Spirit's Role and Spiritual Entanglement14:00 - 21:00We examine how the Holy Spirit empowered Mary and now dwells within us, using the scientific concept of quantum entanglement to illustrate our spiritual connection with God.Chapter 4: Embracing Mary's Joy in Our Impossible Situations21:00 - 28:00We are challenged to identify our own impossible circumstances and respond with the same faith and surrender that Mary demonstrated, finding joy in God's presence regardless of our situations.Keywords#MerryChristmas#Luke1#AngelGabriel#VirginMary#JoyInChrist#FaithOverFear#HolySpirit#Nazareth#MessiahBirth#TrustInGod#DivinePurpose#SovereigntyOfGod#Annunciation#Elizabeth#JohnTheBaptist#Betrothal#MosaicLaw#HonorShame#Magnificat#GodsPresence#SpiritualJoy#QuantumEntanglement#AbideInChrist#Psalm139#Philippians4#James1#Romans8#Ephesians1#SurrenderToGod#ImpossibleSituations#FruitOfTheSpirit#EternalGlory#ChristmasMiracle#HumblyFavored#PropheticFulfillment#RedemptionStory#OvercomingShame#BiblicalWomanhood#ChosenByGod#SalvationHistory

This past weekend, Pastor Jim picked up where he last left off in his “Grace Unveiled” series. His message was based on Romans 8:31–32: “What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?] He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?” (Amp.) The focus was on the fact that God did not withhold or spare His own Son, Jesus, but gave Him up for us. And then this is the key: “…will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?” The point of the message is that the promises of God are free! Some believers say, “I'm a tither, I pray in tongues every day, I go to every service, I do this, I do that…” They're trying to earn the promises of God. They can't be earned. The Father wants you to understand that the promises in the Bible are simply free, but you have to believe they are yours. And you must use your faith to get them! You can't earn them.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.

If you've ever felt restless, homesick, or like something in life is just… missing—you're not alone. This Advent message explores the deep ache we all carry for a place where everything is finally right. From the groaning of creation in Romans 8 to the story that began in Eden and culminates in Jesus' arrival, we discover why our longings are real, where they come from, and why they point us home. In a world that feels weary and out-of-place, Advent reminds us that Home has come for us—and Home is coming again. If you're tired, searching, or hoping for more, this episode invites you to the One who can finally satisfy the longing in your soul.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:1. Where do you most feel the “longing for home” in your own life right now? (i.e. where do yousense restlessness, incompleteness, or longing — even if things around you look “fine”?)2. How does understanding that our original home with God was lost (Genesis 3) help you makesense of the deep longings and frustrations you feel today?3. In what ways has Jesus in His first coming (Advent) already begun restoring a sense of“home” in your life? Where have you tasted that “foretaste of glory” Paul talks about in Romans8:23?4. How does the promise of our future home with God (Revelation 21; Romans 8; John 14)reframe the way you view your temporary pains and/or unmet desires in the present?5. What behavior or mindset would change in your life this week if you fully embraced the realityof the HOME you have in Jesus (now and forever)?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL
Summary In this message from Romans 8, Dr. Michael Easley walks through Paul's rich transition from talking about “putting to death the deeds of the flesh” to embracing our identity as sons and daughters of God. Building on the assurance that there is now no condemnation for those in Christ, Dr. Easley emphasizes that the Christian life is not self-powered moral improvement—it is life led, empowered, and sustained by the Holy Spirit. When we place our faith in Christ, the Spirit becomes our permanent resident, the One who enables us to resist sin and live in cooperation with God's will. Paul's shift to familial language—sons, daughters, children, heirs—reveals that believers are not merely forgiven; we are adopted. Dr. Easley unpacks Paul's contrast between the “spirit of slavery” and the “spirit of adoption,” reminding us that adoption is rooted in God's kindness, redemption through Christ's blood, and His intentional choice of us. This adoption enables us to cry out, with profound emotion, “Abba, Father,” just as Christ did. Finally, Dr. Easley highlights the Spirit's testimony within us: He confirms we are God's children, assures us of our inheritance, strengthens us in present suffering, and anchors us in the future glory that outweighs every earthly hardship. Takeaways The Christian life is not powered by our will but by the indwelling Holy Spirit who leads and enables us. Believers are adopted into God's family, moving from slavery and fear to sonship and intimacy. The Spirit Himself testifies within us that we are God's beloved children. Adoption is rooted in God's sovereign kindness and Christ's redemptive work—not our merit. Our ability to call God Father reflects the deep emotional reality of belonging fully to God. As children and heirs, we share both in Christ's sufferings now and His glory to come. To read the book of Romans, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

In this week's message from Romans 8:28–30, Eric helps us see that one of the most beloved promises in Scripture—“God works all things for good”—is even richer than we often realize. Rather than getting stuck on the word predestined, Eric shows how Paul is describing God's purpose for His people: to shape us into the image of His Son and draw us into a Jesus-shaped calling in the world. This passage isn't mainly about a debate over salvation but about a vocation—God forming His children into people whose suffering, prayers, and Spirit-filled lives help bring His healing to a broken creation. Eric reminds us that every struggle and every interceding prayer is gathered up by God into something meaningful and glorious. If you need encouragement that your life, your pain, and your purpose truly matter, this message will strengthen your faith and lift your eyes.
