Romans 8 is one of the most encouraging and powerful chapters in all of the Bible for believers. It begins with "no condemnation", it ends with "no separation", and is filled with our "adoption as God's children". In this first sermon, we see how the Holy Spirit gives us new spiritual life, empowers our new spiritual life, and assures us of the resurrected life to come. 3 reasons we don’t share our faith with other people: We don’t truly CARE for others. We don’t BELIEVE our faith is real.We’ve lost confidence in our own STORY. TEXT: Romans 8:1-113 signs we are living a life in the Spirit:1.
