You're drifting, bro - Romans 8
In this week’s message, Danny walks through Romans 8:5–11 and shows us a sobering truth: we do not naturally drift toward life, we drift away from it. Left to ourselves, we move toward self, control, and spiritual emptiness. But through the Spirit, God redirects us toward life and peace. This...

You're Right, but Wrong - Rotten Tomatoes
