Send us Fan MailRomans 7:1–6 — Dead to the Law, Alive in the Spirit Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison host “Pondering the Bible” (Season 18, Episode 15), continuing their study of Romans by covering chapter 7:1–6 (RSV). They discuss Paul addressing the Jew–Gentile conflict in the Roman church: Jews emphasize strict adherence to the law while Gentiles claim the Spirit makes the law unnecessary. Using Paul's marriage-and-death analogy, they explain that the law binds only while “alive,” and believers “die to the law” through Christ's crucifixion so they can belong to the risen Christ and bear fruit for God. They note the law exposes sin and can even arouse sinful desire, while the Holy Spirit leads positively into good behavior without discarding Scripture. They also explore how the same action can be sin in one situation but not another, then announce a break next week and a return in two weeks to finish Romans 7. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:35 Romans Seven Reading 01:49 Jews and Gentiles Clash 03:16 Law Ends at Death 06:10 Marriage Law Example 08:23 Intent Versus Rules 10:24 Died With Christ 14:06 Law Sparks Temptation 15:34 New Life in Spirit 18:13 Situational Sin Example 20:14 Next Episode and ClosingNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock

We died to the law and are now free to belong to another, Christ.

In today's sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams teaches that Scripture is not merely history—it is God's living manual for those who believe in Jesus, revealing both life after death and the only true hope for mankind (John 14:1–3). Turning to the opening of Passion Week, he draws a powerful picture from Jesus sending the disciples to untie the donkey and colt—“The Lord has need of it” (Matthew 21:1–3). Apostle Alfred explains that this is a spiritual portrait of salvation: without Christ, people can be “tied down” by sin, deception, and the ruler of the kingdom of the air (Ephesians 2:1–3), but Jesus comes to untie, redeem, and restore—because His purpose is not condemnation, but salvation (John 3:16–18). He then presses the central question of the sermon: who is your rider? Whatever governs your thoughts, appetites, and choices will determine your direction—and the enemy's agenda is always to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Apostle Alfred warns against subtle spiritual contamination through disobedience, compromise, and the influences people normalise, while calling believers to live consciously as God's temple and to be led by the Spirit (Romans 12:1; Romans 8:1–2). The message closes with a clear invitation: Jesus requires no ritual or initiation—only a sincere surrender of heart. When Christ sets you free, you are free indeed (John 8:36), and you need not return to old chains or fear-based “deliverance” cycles. This sermon is a wake-up call and a lifeline: let Jesus untie you fully, let Him take the reins of your life, and watch freedom become your new normal—because the Lord still has need of you.

The same spirit that breathed life into the universe, that created the hosts of heaven, can live within you. The same spirit of power that rose Christ from the dead can live within you.

Pastor Zack continues our series through Romans by exploring the powerful truths found in Romans 8. He reminds us that because of Jesus, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, and through the Holy Spirit we are empowered to live in true freedom.

Your identity in Christ is received, not achieved. You belong because of God's grace, you are adopted into His family, and your identity is grounded in what Christ has already done. Romans 6 teaches that your old self died with Christ: “Your old self was crucified with Him.” Your former identity isn't improved — it's executed. The old lies—“Only what you see is real,” “Your choices don't matter,” “You can't change”—no longer define you. Scripture calls you to “consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God.” Colossians 3:3 declares that your life is now hidden with Christ in God—covered, secure, and protected. God sees you as a new creation, not as your past. Galatians 2:20 shows that Christ now lives in you. Christianity is not you trying harder but Christ expressing His life through you. Your strength is not your own. Because of this new identity, you belong to a new kingdom: “Sin shall not be master over you.” Shame no longer names you. You now live by faith in the Son of God. You live out your identity by declaring truth (Romans 6:11), renewing your mind (Colossians 3:2), and walking by the Spirit (Romans 8:14). Scripture replaces old labels with God's identity: free, loved, new, forgiven, empowered, never alone, God's workmanship, secure, victorious, chosen, strengthened, and without condemnation. You are dead to sin, alive to God, hidden with Christ, and Christ lives in you. This identity is a gift — now live like you belong.The post You Belong 3: Your New Identity in Christ first appeared on Living Hope.

Summary Romans 8:12–13 sits at the center of Paul's teaching on life in the Spirit, and in this sermon Dr. Michael Easley draws attention to the decisive shift that takes place when a person trusts Christ. Salvation is not merely forgiveness—it's a complete reorientation of our spiritual starting point. When the Spirit of God takes up residence in a believer, everything changes. We are no longer obligated to obey the flesh, no longer bound to its impulses, and no longer defined by its demands. Dr. Easley explains that many Christians continue living as though the flesh still holds authority, when Scripture says the opposite. The flesh is not neutral; it is hostile to God and must be confronted. Paul calls believers to put sin to death, but he also makes clear that this cannot be accomplished through willpower or personal resolve. It is the Spirit who enables us to kill the deeds of the body and to live in the freedom God intends. This passage invites believers to acknowledge sin honestly, take responsibility for their choices, and actively depend on the Spirit for transformation. Life in Christ begins—and continues—with the power of the Spirit making us alive, responsive, and obedient to God. Takeaways Trusting Christ moves your point of departure from the flesh to the indwelling Spirit. The believer does not have to follow the flesh—its pull is a lie, not an obligation. Only the Holy Spirit empowers us to put sin to death; the flesh cannot improve. Sin behaves like bamboo—relentless and invasive—requiring continual Spirit-empowered resistance. To mortify sin, believers must first acknowledge its true evil without minimizing or excusing it. Life in the Spirit is not passive; it is a daily, intentional dependence on the One who empowers obedience. To read the book of Romans, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

The apostle Paul said that a full proclamation of the gospel includes a demonstration of signs and wonders in the power of the Spirit (Romans 15:18-19). How does our proclamation of the gospel compare to Paul's? How does our proclamation of the gospel compare to Jesus' or the disciples' proclamation? In today's sermon, pastor Sam Cabra explains that biblically, the supernatural is not an optional component of Christianity; it's a non-negotiable! We hope you are challenged and encouraged as you step more into the supernatural power of the Lord.Thank you for partnering with Reunion Hawaii! To GIVE online, please visit our website at www.reunionhawaii.comMake sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to this podcast!You can follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/reunionhawaii@reunionhawaii

How do we KNOW we have received the Spirit? And if we have indeed received Him, why is our spiritual experience seemingly limited?

Though God's law is holy, it cannot enable us to live a holy life, because it continues to expose how helpless we are apart from the Holy Spirit.

Todaywe are talking about the riches that we have in Christ Jesus. Sometimeswe think of the wealthiest people on earth such as Elon Musk being worth over$430 billion and Jeff Bezos, the owner and founder of Amazon, over 200-plusbillion dollars, and other wealthy people. The top five billionaires in theworld altogether—their wealth is over a trillion dollars—and we go, wow,wouldn't we like to have that? Well, my friend, I am telling you, you havesomething better than that. You have eternal riches.  Thefact that Paul is writing about wealth would be significant to his readers,because Ephesus was considered the bank of Asia. One of the seven wonders ofthe world, the great temple of Diana, was in Ephesus, and was not only a centerfor idolatrous worship, but also a depository for wealth. Some of the greatestart treasures of the ancient world were housed in this magnificent building. Inthis letter, Paul will compare the church of Jesus Christ to a temple and willexplain the great wealth that Christ has in His church. Paul is saying to us, "BE RICH!" Thatis what Paul says in verse three: “Blessed be the God and Father of our LordJesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlyplaces in Christ.” Our riches are not in a passing world, a temporaryworld, the temporary wealth of this world. Our riches are found in the eternalperson of Jesus Christ Himself. We have His riches. We are co-inheritors withHim of all the riches of God. Our Father in heaven owns it all.  TheHoly Spirit is mentioned many times in this letter, because He is the one whochannels our riches to us from the Father, through the Son. Not to know anddepend on the Holy Spirit's provision is to live a life of spiritual poverty.No wonder Paul began his Ephesian ministry asking some professed Christians ifthey really knew the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:1-7). We might ask professedChristians today, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? Ifthe answer is no, then you are not saved." "Now if any man havenot the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His" (Romans 8:9). Unless youhave the witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:15-16), you cannot draw on the wealthof the Spirit. Inthese first verses of this chapter one of the guarantees that we're going tosee of our salvation and our eternal inheritance in Christ is based on the factthat we have been given the Holy Spirit (vv.11-14). In the Old Testament,promises were made to Israel that they would be blessed with prosperity, withwealth, with land, with material things. But my friend, the blessings that arepromised to the believer are eternal blessings. We're not called to be blessedwith riches physically. The prosperity gospel preachers are deceitfullymisleading many today to believe that God has promised us material wealth now.Actually Jesus promised us poverty and suffering now if we truly follow Him.  Ourriches In Christ are not in the sweet by and by. We are rich and blessed inChrist spiritually speaking right now! In Philippians 3, Paul said, "Icount all things but loss for the glory and the riches that I have in ChristJesus… that I might know Him and the power of His resurrection." Ourriches are found in the fact that we have the promise that “our God willsupply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians4:19). “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians4:13).  Myfriend, today we have the power, the ability, and the desire to please God forheavenly riches, heavenly things, and heavenly results. You can't take yourmoney to heaven with you, but you can take people to heaven with you that youinfluence and impact with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Today,you are rich in Christ. You've been born into tremendous wealth in Christ. Youare seated with Him in the heavenlies even right now. GodBless!

We are blessed to have our very own Vince Staiger step up to the pulpit as we continue our "Summer in the Scriptures Series.  Romans 8 has often been called “the greatest chapter in the greatest book,” and for good reason. In this message, we'll explore why this chapter stands apart among the treasures of Scripture. Moving from Paul's raw struggle with sin in Romans 7 to the life-giving declaration of “no condemnation in Christ,” Romans 8 unveils the ultimate hope, identity, and glory promised to God's people. Along the way, we'll hear insights from theologians such as John Piper and Martin Luther, while reflecting on the Spirit's work of freedom, adoption, and eternal assurance. If you have ever wrestled with sin, longed for peace, or needed renewed confidence in God's promises, Romans 8 offers the assurance and hope that only the gospel of Jesus Christ can bring.August 17th 2025

When in Rome - "Life in the Spirit" - Romans 8:1-11 There is no condemnation. What an amazing statement! And it is that Spirit indwelling of the believer that gives us not only freedom from sin and death, but also direction for living. The more we allow the Spirit of God to direct our thinking, the more life and peace we will experience. This promise is ultimately revealed when the Spirit of God raises us from death. Jesus was the first of the resurrection, but He will not be the last!

Two Great Truths about Grace from Romans 8   Romans 8 teaches two great truths about grace that can change your life:  Truth #1 - "no condemnation" Truth #2 - "life in the Spirit"    Romans 8:1-4 Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh   Romans 8:12-13 So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.    Romans 8:31-39 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring charges against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 Just as it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.     Free 30 Page eBook to help you Hear and Heed the Bible:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net   Support this ministry: Set up a recurring monthly or a one-time donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/   The Listener's Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com   Connect with John: Social Media- connect on facebook and instagram Email - john@johnwhittaker.net If you've been helped by this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, via email.  

Hope is more than wishful thinking — it's the anticipation of good things from a good God who has redeemed us, loves us, and cares for us. This is why Jesus' followers have the most reason to be hopeful humans.  Even still, all of us experience times when feelings of shame and depression drain our hopefulness and crush our spirit.Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi talk about cultivating hope to become healthy in your apprenticeship to Jesus. You will learn about the causes of depression, the dynamics of shame, and how powerful the presence of a safe friend can be when you find yourself spiraling. Praying that you overflow with hope by the power of the Spirit (Romans 15:13). Resources for this Episode:Meet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorEarn a Certificate in Spiritual DirectionDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks
