Transformed - In Christ - Week 1

“In Christ”

Dr. Gary Singleton

Romans 8:1-4

This morning we will begin a sermon series from Romans 8 called “Transformed.” Have you ever noticed that some people seem to have a “deal-making” approach to being a follower of Jesus? They think that if they do their part … if they believe in Jesus and follow a few religious practices … Jesus will do His part and welcome them into heaven. But becoming a follower of Jesus is about much more than just getting saved and avoiding hell. Salvation is not the end of our journey with God - it’s the beginning of God transforming us and sending us out on mission for Him. As we turn to Paul’s words in Romans 8 we will see where this journey of transformation leads. Our transformation in Jesus takes us from “guilty as charged” to “free in Christ.”
