I want to welcome you to this great

chapters of the Bible study through

Romans chapter 8 Romans one of the great

books in all the Bible a book that has

had strong historical impact in

Christianity in the world the

Reformation was built around the truths

of the book of Romans but Romans also

has powerful personal impact it tells us

how to see ourselves like God sees us

tells us how to live the kind of life

that God has given us to live and Romans

chapter 8 for many people is the

pinnacle of the book of Romans such

powerful truths and we're going to walk

through it together these next four

weeks now as we walk through it together

you see we're standing outside and

there's a reason for that for years as

I've taught through Romans eight I've

taught it as if you're walking up a

mountain there's some foundational

truths you need at the beginning of the

chapter like the foundation of a

mountain there's some things you run

into as you're walking up the mountain

as you see as we walk through the book

of Romans we're gonna see some things we

run into in Romans chapter eight and

then at the top at the end of Romans

chapter eight there are some clearer

perspectives that you get from God that

you need for living the kind of life

that God has made us to live now this

mountain we happen to be standing at the

bottom of that we're going to climb up

together these next four weeks happens

to be Saddleback Mountain Saddleback

Mountain is the reason that salabat

church is named Saddleback Church we

have the mountain so we have Saddleback

Valley and so we're named Saddleback

Church so I bet some of you even who go

to Saddleback charity didn't know that

so we're gonna enjoy climbing this

mountain the next four weeks is not

Mount Everest I'll admit that but I

think it'll do to give us the

illustrations that we need and as we

walk up let me tell you where we're

going with this with Romans chapter 8

really in this chapter it deals with

four things that we feel in our lives as

Christians there's the feeling sometimes

that you have that you're not good

enough as you face the Christian life

and Romans 8 has an answer to that God's

answer to that is no condemnation in

your life that he wants you to live a

life of liberty there's the feeling

sometimes you have that I'm never gonna

change I'm not growing fast enough we're

gonna talk about that in week 2 and God

has an answer for that no frustration

that you can live a life of victory God

has some victory for you to live in your

life there's also in your life you might

notice there's some by the way bugs

flying around we're gonna talk about

that about week 3 when we get to talking

about problems and how God deals with

problems in our lives there's also the

feelings sometimes we haven't like I

said in week 3 that everything

falling apart and God says when that

happens there's no desperation he wants

to give us hope he can give you a life

of expectancy and then there's the

feeling that we have sometimes that no

one cares about me

does anybody really love me and God says

in that case there is no separation from

my love that you can live a life of
