A New Battle | Hosanna Wong

Why do we still struggle with sin even after putting our faith in Jesus?In week 6 of our Brand New series, Pastor Hosanna Wong walks through Romans 7 and 8 and reminds us that the struggle within us is not proof that we are failing—it’s often proof that God’s Spirit is actively working in us.Using honest stories, practical encouragement, and powerful truth from Scripture, Hosanna unpacks the reality of the Christian life: following Jesus does not remove every battle overnight, but it does mean we no longer fight alone.Romans 7 captures the tension so many of us feel:“I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.”If you’ve ever wrestled with shame, temptation, discouragement, or the fear that you’ll never change, this message is for you.In this message, we discover:• The struggle is not a sign of failure.The struggle is often a sign of spiritual growth. Before Jesus, many of us didn’t even battle sin—we simply lived in it. Now the Holy Spirit is transforming us from the inside out.• The journey is not a sprint.The Christian life is a Spirit-led walk. God invites us to continuously walk with Him, confess honestly, receive grace, and keep growing step by step.• Loving you is not God’s great burden.Loving you is God’s great joy. God is not exhausted by your weakness or frustrated by your process. He delights in walking with you and helping you become who He created you to be.Hosanna also contrasts two powerful realities:A cycle of shame, hiding, performance, and self-reliance… versus a Spirit-led life marked by honesty, forgiveness, healing, and grace.This message is a reminder that because of Jesus:• You are not condemned.• You are not stuck forever.• You are not fighting alone.• You belong to Jesus.––––– If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs hope and freedom today. ––––– Hosted on Acast.
