North Platte Berean Church
Life and Peace
We've seen how Paul starts his letter to the Romans by laying Gospel Foundations: our need to be justified (declared "not guilty") by God and how He makes this possible through faith alone. So…now what? In chapters 5-8, Paul shifts his focus to what this gospel produces. He highlights the fruit (benefits) the gospel brings to those who believe it, and how this in turn produces even more fruit (Christ-honoring attitudes and actions) in their lives. Join in as we delight in our justification ("not guilty!"), peace, hope, reconciliation, freedom from sin, and Spirit-filling, among so many other amazing Gospel Fruits!

Next Week's Sermon
Paul has introduced the marvelous reality that there is absolutely no condemnation for those who are in Christ - a phrase synonymous with being "in the Spirit." He explained that those who walk according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. In this section, he'll further contrast being in the flesh or Spirit and highlight an amazing gift for those in the Spirit - we've been adopted!
