Have you ever wanted to be chosen? To feel a true sense of belonging? In week two of our series, "Romans: More Than Conquerors," Pastor Jake Heitman explores the incredible truth of adoption by God.This week, we dive into Romans 8:12-17 to understand what it means to be a child of God, led by the Spirit and free from the slavery of fear. Jon unpacks the powerful role of the Holy Spirit in our lives, from empowering and protecting us to testifying that we are indeed God’s children.Drawing on the rich history of Roman adoption, Jon shows us how God’s adoption is so much more than a legal transaction. It's a radical transformation that completely wipes out our past, gives us a new name and a new family, and secures our inheritance as co-heirs with Christ. You are not a slave to your past or to fear; you are an heir.In this sermon, you’ll discover:* How the Holy Spirit frees you from fear and testifies to your new identity.* The profound meaning of being an adopted child of God* How to live out your inheritance as an heir-apparent, not a slave.Join us as we learn to cast off fear and embrace the free gift of adoption and new life.---For more sermons in this series, visit our channel page.Connect with us at https://www.impact.church
