As we have seen in previous weeks, genuine believers are no longer under God’s condemnation. We have been freed from the penalty and power of sin. But while sin no longer reigns, it does still remain. In our text this week, Paul expounds on the truth that not only are we not under condemnation, but we are also not under sin’s obligation. We can say no to our flesh every day. How? Through the pattern of saying yes to the Spirit, through the power supplied by the Spirit, and through the promise of an eternal inheritance reserved in heaven for us. As we look at verses 12-17 this weekend, we will examine three truths: the believer’s invitation, the believer’s indwelling and the believer’s inheritance. — Pastor Ryan McDaniel, Campus Pastor

Being led by the Spirit - who is being led; what being led by the Spirit is and is not; and why the Spirit is leading us.
Often, in the face of loss and change, people want to go back. They want to go back to the way things were when mom and dad were together, when things were simpler, before the internet, when things seemed safe. But the problem is NONE of us can (really) go back. Because those worlds (and sets of circumstances) no longer exist. We can only go FORWARD.
A new nature, and a new ability to fight sin
Through faith in Jesus Christ, you are an adopted child of God. How is your inheritance with Jesus different than your earthly inheritance? How does the Holy Spirit point you to Jesus?

In Romans 8, the Apostle Paul introduces the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. He strengthens us in the battle agains sin, draws us closer to Christlikeness and constantly assures us that we belong to God forever.

The Gospel is the most powerful message in human history. It has the power to bring the dead to life. It has the power to turn the world upside down. But, what do we do once we receive the Gospel? What then? In Romans 8, we see that the Holy Spirit empowers each believer, giving assurance of our faith and strength for the journey.

While we have seen that Romans 7 was not meant to imply the struggle that Christians have with sin, we are right to insist that there is indeed a struggle. If anyone was to gain the implication from Paul’s work that the fight with sin is over because of what Christ has done, they are sorely mistaken. Paul knows the battle ahead for all Christians, one of toil and hardship as they battle the sin in their bodies. Today, he not only implores us to do all we can to pursue holiness, he also gives us the ammunition we need to fight that good fight.

Welcome to Center of Hope Church
Las promesas de Dios desde los tiempos de Abraham son el poder regresar a tener esa comunión directamente con Él. Y lo hace a través de llamarnos sus hijos. Nos adopta a través de su espíritu para que podamos ser parte de Su pueblo. Pero ¿Qué quiere decir el ser adoptado? ¿Qué papel juega el Espíritu Santo con nosotros y que papel jugamos nosotros con Él? Todos tenemos días en los que no nos sentimos como hijos de Dios! ¿Cómo sobrepasamos esos momentos de duda? La respuesta se encuentra en las promesas de Dios y el Espíritu Santo trabajando en nosotros todos los días!

As we continue our Romans study in chapter 8, we continue to see Paul talking about living life “in the Spirit”. This is in contrast to another kind of life that Paul says is “according to the flesh”. Living a life pleasing to God is not about following a rigid set of moral laws and performing spiritual rituals. It is about the very life of God (the Spirit) being infused into our lives by faith and the power of God! Would you rather have a book about swimming, complete with pictures and diagrams and explanations of all the different strokes and even the history of swimming, or would you rather have the Spirit of Michael Phelps come into your life? Which would make you a better swimmer?! The first option gives me knowledge but no power, and the second gives me knowledge and power. In this next section, Paul uses some pretty clear illustrations to tell us that life with God - life in the Spirit - is not about rules but about a relationship! Now he uses the relationship between a father and son. Now we are going to have to undo a common misunderstanding about being a child of God. Who are “children of God”? Isn’t everyone a child of God? If not, how do i know if I am a child of God? These questions and more will be answered in the next section of chapter 8, and the answer may surprise you.
We have an obligation to live according to the Spirit and put to death the deeds of sin in the body. We have been given the Holy Spirit and adopted as sons of God, or children of God. This gives us the rights and privileges of inheritance, including addressing God as "Abba, Father."

I thought for Trinity Sunday I’d preach about God as a frosted Donut, with God as the dough part, Jesus as the frosting, and the Holy Spirit as the hole, where you’re thinking, “what is it; it’s hard to define, but it isn’t a donut without it.” Then I thought that would be a terrible idea, and decided against it. We just heard about Nicodemus coming to Jesus at night to question him, not like the Pharisees who questioned him during the day, trying to prove him wrong and make him look bad in front of everybody. Nicodemus came to Jesus and questioned him because he was genuinely curious and drawn to Jesus. Something about Jesus challenged or inspired Nicodemus, and he was led, I believe by the Holy Spirit to seek Jesus out and learn about him and from him. So he went under the cover of darkness to question Jesus. Nicodemus was a man who was very secure in his religion. He had all the right knowledge about God, all the right answers, and all the right religious practices. I would say he was over-familiar with his faith, and so when he heard Jesus speak, he began to feel something was missing. What he had would no longer hold or sustain him. So he walked toward the light of Jesus, but into the darkness of unknowing. That’s what happens when we follow the Holy Spirit. We move from the light of what we know and into the darkness of unknowing and uncertainty, trusting only in the light of Jesus. In the Episcopal Church today, like in all denominations, a lot of people are not moving toward the light of Jesus. When checking a religious preference box on a survey, they no longer check “Christian,” and instead check “none.” Some check the “none” box because they’ve grown contemptuous of the Christian faith. Dallas Willard described this problem as coming from over-familiarity, people who think they know all there is to know about Christianity, find it lacking, and turn away from the faith. Over-familiarity breeds unfamiliarity, which leads to contempt. Folks in this camp tend to feel that the Christian faith is about little more than avoiding a place called “Hell” when you die and that the Christian life is nothing more than spending an hour a week at worship in a church building. It is easy cast stones at those who feel this way and are leaving the church, but if folks really believe that those two things are all Christianity is, avoiding a place called hell and spending an hour a week in worship, I can understand them not finding that faith fulfilling and sustaining. Over-familiarity led to unfamiliarity, which led to contempt. I should also note that many of the folks who are leaving the church also say that they are very spiritual, just not religious. Folks are seeking God, seeking the mystery of God, and they sometimes find that they aren’t allowed that mystery in the church that they have known. Like Nicodemus, they are searching for something more. We were called together by Jesus and anointed by the Holy Spirit not to avoid a place called “Hell” or to spend an hour a week in worship. We were called to believe in and follow Jesus and live as his disciples. We were anointed to live out God’s kingdom here on earth and to spread God’s kingdom to others. We were called by Jesus to show people the way of Jesus by how we live. We were called to teach people the way of Jesus by how we live and by what we say. We were commissioned by Jesus to lead others to be Jesus’ disciples as well, that they too might live out God’s kingdom here on earth. Our time here in worship is not a minimum requirement to avoid a place called hell. Indeed, our entire way of life in following and believing in Jesus is not done to avoid a place called hell. We believe in and follow Jesus in order to know God, to love God and love other people as fully as possible. We are called today to reverse this trend of people turning away from Jesus and leaving the church. There are a couple of things we must do in order to reverse this trend. The first is that we need to live our faith deeply and intentionally. We gather for worship to join together with God and one another sustain and guide us as we live our faith the rest of the week. We need to live and take seriously the practices of our faith: corporate worship and our sacramental life, daily prayer, reading scripture, loving our neighbors, seeing and treating others with dignity, practicing forgiveness and reconciliation. The other thing we need to do in order to reverse the trend of people leaving the church is to live into the mystery of the Holy Spirit. Sustained by our faith and the practices of our faith, we need to have the courage of Nicodemus to be led into the darkness of unknowing. This means while keeping and cherishing our worship together, we also need to explore new ways of worship in order to reach those whose experience of church has led them away from Jesus rather than into an ever deeper relationship with him. We must have courage as the church to proclaim our faith and way of life, and we must have courage as the church to listen deeply to the stories of those who don’t share our faith and way of life. We must be willing to step out into the darkness of unknowing in order to reach those who are there, and guide them to the light of Jesus. We need to live into the hole of the donut, the indefinable, hard to grasp, Holy Spirit, which leads us places we’re not always comfortable going , but without which we cannot truly live the life of God, the life of the Trinity, the life of Jesus. Amen.
