Today, we used Romans chapter 8 to list 10 things that we should be very grateful for and this list is so powerful.

What qualities are needed in order to be a biblical church? How do these two passages inform us of what needs to be happening in our church family?

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." That is the first verse that we will be reading this morning when I preach today. What an incredible statement... "no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"!!! Not only is that statement true, the opposite is also true and should be very concerning to those who are not yet in Christ. There is condemnation for those who are not in Christ Jesus. What does that mean? We will look at both sides of that verse this morning at Rolling Fork Baptist Church.

In today's passage, Paul described what we feel way too often. We see the temptation and we know that it is wrong... we even know the Bible verses that tell us why it is wrong and we know what will happen if we give into that temptation... but we still do it from time to time. What are we supposed to do in this situation?

This week contrasted the difference between a slave to sin and a slave to God. Also, this week's message continues to remind us how much we need to be thanking God for our salvation.

Two questions build the foundation to today's message. If we have "died to sin", how can we willingly go back to it? And if we haven't died to sin, how can we think that we are in Christ?

In today's message, Paul points to two men (Adam and Jesus) and tells us how each man connects to who we are today.

Today, we see the beauty of Paul's message concerning our faith and the power of the cross.
