In The Blind Spot

Aug 18, 2024 • Mark South

This sermon explores the Christian experience as outlined in Romans 7:13-25, emphasizing the Apostle Paul's struggle with sin. Paul acknowledges the dichotomy between desiring to follow God's law and being bound by sin. By examining the 'holiness gap' and our own spiritual blind spots, pastor Mark highlights the continuous battle between our renewed mind and our sinful nature. He encourages a response of desperation and gratitude rather than determination or defeatism, focusing on the grace of God through Jesus Christ.
