Defining the Sinful Flesh Nature (2 of 6)
Series: Grow - Becoming the Spiritually Mature Person God Wants You to Be
Pastor Frank Damazio
INTRODUCTION: In our first message on Grow, we learned that every person has been born into sin because we were "in Adam". The Adamic nature in us is our fallen human nature, our bent toward sin. Jesus taught that it's out of men's hearts that evil thoughts and actions come, it's in us. Our fallen carnal nature is born into sin, shaped by sin, driven by sin and a slave to sin. Our hope is in Christ as we have a new nature that has the capacity to conquer the old sin nature and how to be Christ-like. This series is simply titled, Grow. You must grow in Christ, in grace and in your character.
