Fighting Together (2017)

Back to Message Archive

One of the most basic truths of the Scriptures is that we are all born sinners – we are slaves to sin. But the good news of the Gospel is that through Jesus we can be freed from the penalty and power of sin (Romans 6:1-4; 12-14).

But while we have ultimate freedom, the reality is that as long as we are in the world we still deal with the presence of sin and we must fight sin. The battle against the flesh is real and ongoing and through grace God calls us to continually fight against this nature (1 Peter 5:8).

But here is the gift of God – that we do not have to fight this battle alone. As the church, as the people of God, we have been called to fight sin together and in Galatians 6:1 Paul helps us see what it looks like to help one another in the fight.
