The Emancipation Proclamation
Because Christ has set us free we’re no longer slaves to the power of sin. It’s a difficult concept but that’s what grace is all about.

Jesus was referred to by the prophet as the “hope of Israel.” Hope always is looking ahead and those many righteous Jews down through the centuries living on tiptoe, anticipating Messiah’s coming, fulfilling the promise that He would arrive.
Listen to Pastor Chuck Swindoll’s teaching through Job and Romans 8 to sharpen your theological thinking.
In God’s Hands on Human Clay, Chuck Swindoll explains the treasured truth that most Christians overlook as the unknown future approaches: God is sovereign. Even though the future remains unclear, we can be certain nothing touches our lives unless it has first flowed through the “moulding” fingers of our loving God.
As you begin this new year, join Pastor Chuck Swindoll as he teaches the vital topic of God’s providence and reveals what God desires to do with your life over these next 365 days.
In this message, Pastor Chuck Swindoll compares a life of walking by the flesh versus walking by the Spirit. By surrendering control to the Holy Spirit, believers can live free from sin and the influence of their fleshly desires.
Romans 8 offers good news: the fulfilled life is divinely possible through the power of Him who lives within us. The secret lies in simply allowing Him to take control and change our walk.
Tune in to hear Pastor Chuck Swindoll teach how a Spirit-controlled mindset leads to abundant life (Romans 8). Examine the changes that occur when the Holy Spirit is in control of your life.
Life is made possible by His empowering us to live above the drag of the flesh. Such a concept could cause some to think that the Christian life is a “cloud nine” delight, full of nothing but “glorying,” uninterrupted peace, pleasure, and prosperity. To keep things realistic, Paul introduced the other side of life—the “groaning.” They are indissolubly linked—welded together and inseparable.
Paul, in his magnificent treatment of the believer’s struggle with sin in Romans 7, opens a window of light in Romans 8 as he introduces the importance of setting our minds on “the things of the Spirit.” Could this be one of the secrets to the missing dynamic in our lives?
