Sanctified Problem (1 of 5)
Series: The Rest of the Gospel
Steve Jones
Romans 7:14-25
SERIES SUMMARY: The ''gospel'' we're familiar with is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus so that our sins might be forgiven and we might spend eternity with the Lord in Heaven. But there is a ''REST OF THE STORY'' aspect to the gospel. It involves the 2nd part of the ''double cure'' of grace to the ''double curse'' of sin. I'm talking about our SANCTIFICATION. God has given to us the indwelling gift of the Holy Spirit as an inner resource/power to help us in sanctification. How we ENGAGE the Holy Spirit in that process is what this sermon series is all about - THE REST OF THE GOSPEL.

Murder- At age 40, Abraham Shakespeare, won the $30 jackpot. After he won, he couldn't say no to those who asked for money, even letting homeless people live in his home. That trust could have been his downfall. After ''Dee-Dee'' Moore ''befriended'' Abraham, he went missing. He was eventually found buried in a concrete slab at the home of Moore's boyfriend, and she was convicted of his murder.
Gambling- Evelyn Adams won the New Jersey lottery not once, but two times, racking up a prize of over $5.4 million. I ...
