No Condemnation! (11 of 19)
Michael White
Romans 8:1-17

The first seventeen verses are about the ministry of the holy spirit in the believer's life. The spirit who has previously not been discussed in any detail is now mentioned some 20 times. That's where we're at today .

As he regained consciousness he immediately realized that he was in no ordinary prison. In fact he was in complete darkness. The thought even crossed his mind, ''Am I already dead?''
As he grew accustomed to the darkness he stood up and faltered around like a blind man, try ...
