If you've ever felt the frustration of giving your life to Jesus and still losing the same battles — this episode is for you.

In this week's message from The Gospel series, we open Romans 7 and sit with one of the most honest passages in all of Scripture. The Apostle Paul doesn't sugarcoat the Christian life. He describes it the way most of us actually experience it: a war between two natures — a desire to do good and a pull toward everything we're trying to leave behind.

We talk about why the Law reveals sin but was never meant to fix it, what the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde reveals about the battle inside every believer, and what it looks like to fight with the right weapons. We also land on the declaration that anchors it all: no matter how great the sin, God's grace is greater.

📖 Romans 7:1–25 | Galatians 5:17 | Colossians 3:9–10

In this episode:

  • The law as a mirror — and why willpower isn't the answer
  • Two natures, one body — understanding the spiritual war within
  • Walking by the Spirit: what that actually looks like
  • Active repentance, spiritual armor, and mortifying sin
  • Why struggle is evidence of spiritual life, not spiritual failure
