For many believers, Romans 8 is a favorite passage, and it's easy to see why. The fulcrum of the entire book, this chapter speaks to many areas of theology including Christology, Hamartiology, Soteriology, and Eschatology, to name a few. But beyond the scholarship, Paul wants us to be "convinced" of God's mercy and grace ... that which is operative and unalterable in the lives of all those who are in Christ Jesus. In this sermon, too, Pastor Mark explains what some have called a "Rejection Cycle." How wrong thinking sabotages relationships, and the importance of understanding our identity in Christ. This is what Paul really wants you to know!

The War Inside (Romans 7:7-25) - Mike Clowers

In this three part message rooted in Romans 7:1-6, Pastor Mark first teaches us to walk with God not because we have to but because we want to in response to His great love for us, i.e., the forgiveness of our sins. Then, switching gears, he provides a financial update and pastoral challenge to members of Mosaic challenging the body not simply to watch what is happening but to get in the game. In so doing he demonstrates the prophetic voice of the church, i.e., its growing reach and influence on the American (Global) Church as we address the question, If the kingdom of heaven is not segregated then why on earth is the church?

Giving With a Willing Heart (Romans 7:1-6) - Mark DeYmaz
