Romans: Living Out the Power of the Gospel: But Now…

About this episode

Stephen discusses how God transforms our lives through 'but now' moments as illustrated in Romans.

Have you ever felt powerless to fix things yourself? Stephen says that, just as Paul shows in Romans, God steps in with a “but now” moment—transforming our guilt into grace, our striving into trust, and our self-focus into reliance on God’s kindness. He reminds us that righteousness is not earned but freely given, that unity and delight can replace pride and duty, and that God’s intervention reshapes both individuals and communities. We are invited to recognize these “but now” moments in our own lives and respond by trusting, rejoicing, and joining God in what he is already doing.
