    A New Power | Guy Johnson

    What if the Christian life was never meant to be lived in your own strength? In week 7 of our Brand New series, Pastor Guy Johnson walks through the powerful truths of Romans 8—one of the most hope-filled and life-changing chapters in all of Scripture. Often called “The Everest of the New Testament,” Romans 8 reminds us what is now true because of Jesus and what it means to live with the power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Guy revisits the journey through Romans and shows how Paul has been building toward this incredible reality: Because of Jesus, we are no longer condemned, controlled by sin, or separated from God—we are brand new. This message unpacks four life-changing truths for every follower of Jesus: • I have a new verdict because I’m in Christ. • I have a new mindset because the Spirit is changing me. • I have a new power because the Spirit is in me. • I have a new identity because I’m adopted into God’s family. Pastor Guy reminds us that the Christian life is not about trying harder—it’s about surrendering more fully to the Holy Spirit. If you’ve ever struggled with shame, insecurity, temptation, or feeling spiritually stuck, this message is a reminder: You are not condemned. You are not alone. And you are not powerless. ––––– If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear about the freedom and grace of Jesus. ––––– Find us on Facebook and on Instagram.

    A New Freedom | James Grogan

    What if following Jesus was never meant to feel like an exhausting checklist? In week 5 of our Brand New series, Pastors James Grogan and Chris Muller-Tabanera walk through Romans 7 and unpack the freedom we have because of Jesus. Through powerful stories, practical illustrations, and Paul’s teaching, this message reminds us that we are no longer bound to a system of rules—we are invited into a relationship of grace. Pastor James opens with the incredible true story of two East German families who risked everything to escape to freedom in a homemade hot air balloon. In the same way, Paul explains that through Jesus we’ve been transferred into a completely new reality: no longer living under the weight of the law, but under grace. Together, James and Chris explore what it means to live with a brand new freedom: • I’m no longer bound to a system; I am joined to a Savior. Jesus didn’t come to create another religious checklist. He came to invite us into a relationship. • I’m no longer bound to sin; I have a new Spirit that produces better fruit. Real transformation doesn’t happen by trying harder—it happens by surrendering more and allowing the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out. • I’m no longer bound to the measuring stick of the law; Jesus fulfilled it. The law was never meant to prove we were good enough. It was meant to show us how much we need Jesus. This message is a reminder for anyone tired of striving, performing, or feeling like they never measure up. Because of Jesus, you don’t have to earn God’s love, prove your worth, or carry the pressure of perfection anymore. You can stop trying harder. You can surrender more. And you can live truly free. ––––– If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear about the freedom and grace of Jesus. ––––– Find us on Facebook and on Instagram.
