Victory Over Sin: Overcoming Lust (Rom. 6:12-14)
By Mike Bickle2545:45ROM 6:12Mike Bickle emphasizes the transformative power of grace in overcoming sin, particularly lust, as outlined in Romans 6:12-14. He explains that believers can access God's power through three key principles: recognizing their identity in Christ, resisting sinful urges, and actively pursuing God. Bickle highlights that while believers may struggle with sin, they are not under its dominion, and through grace, they can experience substantial victory in their lives. He encourages the congregation to embrace these principles consistently, even in their weakness, to live a life free from the control of negative emotions and sinful thoughts.

By Hans R. Waldvogel2.0K17:11PSA 37:4MAT 7:7JHN 1:16JHN 7:38ROM 8:322CO 5:17EPH 3:20PHP 4:19COL 2:91PE 5:7Hans R. Waldvogel emphasizes the importance of delighting in the Lord rather than in ourselves, illustrating this with the analogy of a woman struggling with an old washboard versus the ease of using a washing machine. He explains that true delight comes from knowing Jesus and experiencing His grace, which transforms our lives and desires. Waldvogel encourages believers to seek a deeper relationship with Christ, who is the source of all blessings and fulfillment, rather than focusing on their own shortcomings. He highlights that through Christ, we become new creations, and our lives should reflect His grace and love. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a shift from self-centeredness to a joyful relationship with God, who desires to bless us abundantly.
