Welcome to the Bible Study. I'm Stephen Lawson, President of One Passion Ministries.

And each week I will teach verse by verse through the passage of scripture

so that you can better understand the word of God

and put it into practice in your life. Join me now as we look together into this

section of the Bible. Let's start in a word of prayer. Kent.

Right.

Father, as we start now this Bible study, we ask that you would give us eyes to see the

truth of your word, that your Holy Spirit would be

our teacher. Lord I pray you'd make our hearts receptive to your word and we

ask that you would bring it home with application to right where we are to our

own lives. So change us, transform us, strengthen us, edify us, build us up, encourage us, comfort us, do all these

multifaceted works within as we are very needy and in need of your grace.

So Father we pray this in Christ's name, Amen.

Okay, we're in Romans chapter 8. This is about as good as it gets. Romans chapter 8.

And today we want to look at verses 18 to 22.

Now for those of you who are new to our study today and we're

thrilled you're here. We're almost two years into the Book of Romans and

we're we're in the middle

is it two years yeah two years can yeah and we are in the middle of

Romans eight and just to give you the big picture,

Romans 6 through 8 is a theology of the Christian life,

and it is the largest, most expensive. of the a framework for the Christian life.
