Victory Through Christ Not Self Effort

May 5, 2026    Pastor Don Roach

Ever feel like you're losing a battle with yourself? You want to do what's right, but keep falling short? You're not alone. Even the Apostle Paul cried out, "O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?" (Romans 7:24)


Here's the breakthrough: Stop asking "HOW can I fix myself?" and start asking "WHO can save me?" The answer changes everything. Your flesh will always war against your spirit, but you're not under its dominion anymore. You serve a new Master now.


The victory isn't found in trying harder or following more rules. It's found in Christ alone. When you realize your spiritual poverty and stop trusting in yourself, that's when real transformation begins. You're a new creation—the old nature doesn't define you anymore.


Romans 8:1 declares: "There is therefore now NO condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." That's where we're headed next week—from the struggle of the flesh to the power of the Spirit.
