Unbound (Roman 7:1-25)

About this episode

Steve McKenzie discusses the internal struggle described in Romans 7, emphasizing that such struggles are a sign of spiritual growth rather than failure.

You know the feeling: you promised yourself you'd do better, be more patient, more present, more faithful. And then you didn't. Romans 7 is Paul at his most raw, naming the civil war every honest person recognizes inside themselves. In this sermon, Steve McKenzie walks through why the struggle isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's actually evidence that something has gone right. If you've ever felt exhausted by trying harder, this one is for you.
