The War is Over (Romans 8:1-17)

About this episode

Steve McKenzie discusses the end of the spiritual struggle for Christians, emphasizing the grace and identity found in Christ as outlined in Romans 8.

What do you do when you're a Christian who's done everything right and still feels like it isn't enough? Steve McKenzie opens Romans 8 with a declaration meant for the weary believer: the war with God is over. Through the story of a soldier who hid in the jungle for 30 years after his war had ended, we see what it looks like to finally lay down a fight Jesus already finished — and to live as sons and daughters, not soldiers and slaves. Listen, share with someone who needs the reminder, and join us this Sunday at CrossPointe Church | Orlando — xpointe.com.
