… We're considered like sheep to be slaughtered. He says, no, in all these things we're more than conquerors through him who loved us. We're convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, nor the present nor the future, nor any powers, nor heights nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. That's gospel. That's good news. Don't miss the bottom line. You want to know how good this gospel is? This gospel is good enough to throw yourself into hell so that other people can have it. which is why Paul says right after that triumphant chapter 8 chapter 9 verse 1 I'm speaking the truth in Christ I'm not lying my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart for I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh. …
… the finish the freedom is in the fight and it's when we decide to continually fight Romans 8 37 says that we are more than conquerors because Christ Jesus is on our side so whatever it is that you're facing the next time it comes up instead of crumbling or feeling bad or beating yourself up about it, please just remember that we are more than conquerors and the same God who helped you fight it last time will help you fight it this time. Well, what's going on, guys? My name is Chris, and today I want to share how my life changed when I release my ambition. Now, how many of us in here are just passionate about something, whether it's sports, your family? Have something you're passionate about. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool. So the nature of who Chris Harvey is is a huge introvert. Whether you believe it or not, I'm a huge introvert. I love you, but I don't want to talk to you all the time. …
… We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that's in Christ Jesus our Lord. There's nothing like this word. Isaiah 55, God says, listen to my word and live. God forgive us for the hours we're spending on our scrolling on our phones filling our minds the drivel of this world God we repent make us people who tremble at your word, oh God. We just love your word. God, forgive us. Forgive us for creating a whole picture where Bible reading feels obligatory. Something I should do. Instead of something we run to do to hear from you. Thank you. God, make us a people who are humble and contrite in spirit. …
… We are counted as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things, in all these things, We are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Which means amazingly that because God takes all that, tribulation and distress and persecution and famine and nakedness and peril and sword, he takes all of that and makes us super conquerors more than conquerors. You can't risk ether. Well, that's not quite right. You got to be more careful. Yes, you can in this life. ultimately no Christian takes a risk. It's going to turn out well. It's going to turn out wonderful no matter what happens here. And I just love it that in the brochure you have there in front of you I read I had this online a few weeks ago. Thank you John for sending it because it's just got juicy juicy sentences in it. Your theology, I don't know who wrote it, but I'm assuming you're behind it, and good night, these are good. So I read the first one. …
… He says, no. And all these things, we are more than conquerors. Through him who loved us. Yeah, I'm convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither present nor the future I'm not scared of the future neither any powers neither height nor depth I'm gonna start comparing this thing to stuff that's abstract because I need you to know there is nothing in all of creation that will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus why is that important pastor Mike because my position with God allows me to say that if God is for me, there's not a who. I don't want you to leave this year and think that there is some external thing that can stop you this year. The only thing that can stop you this year is my third point, you. yeah yeah you are the only who that can stop you and this is beautiful because god gives us a beautiful picture he says if i before you who externally can be against you but then he gives us will and gives us the ability to close our heart to him and he gives us the choice to listen and obey or to do our own thing and I came to tell you see because some of you thought that this message is about you can't stop me ain't none of my haters stopping me ain't nobody stopping me no no no they can't because if God is for you …
… what then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who, who can be against us? And then another passage or text that pastor gives us, um, is Romans chapter eight, verse 37. Um, in all of these things, we are more than conquerors through him who has loved us through Christ Jesus. And what I love about these passages is that really, take a screenshot. If you're watching online, take a screenshot of this right now. If you're in the room, take a picture of it. These are affirmations. When you wake up in the morning and think about how we serve a covenant-keeping God, you can read these passages and remember that we do have it like that. Period. All right. So this is what Pastor Garner pulled out of. It's interesting how you can listen to a sermon, right? And we kind of said, well, I think that's the thesis of the sermon. Because Dr. Haynes drops so much. He usually has like four or five sermons in one sermon. …
… If God before us, who can be against us? I think Paul put it this way, that we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. I simply stopped by on Baccalaureate Sunday. As you begin to navigate a different world, you got to know, you've got to be affirmed by the reality that you got it like that. You are God's child. You got it like that. That means you are royalty. You've got it like that. You're the head and not the tail. You're on top and not beneath. You got it like that. And since you got it like that, please don't forget that as you navigate this thing called life, that you are a royal priesthood, a chosen generation. You are God's child. You got it like that. And with that being the case, I need you to understand that when you were fueled with the faith, that in God's name you got it like that, then you're ready to navigate and negotiate a different world. …
… or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Christ who strengthen us. And so if you feel anything like I do right now, which is blessed and frustrated, blessed and confused, blessed and disappointed. I wanna tell you right now, he is with you right now. At this very moment, he's with you in the wrestling. He's there. in your questions that don't have answers. He's there. And you may not recognize him yet. Jacob didn't either. But you may look back and say, oh, yeah. He was always good. He was always faithful. He was always present. His words have always been true. he's with you in the wrestling. Don't miss this, verse 31 tells us this. The sun rose, so they're wrestling all night long, fighting, fighting, fighting, wrestling, change the name, the sun rose above him as he passed Peniel. And what was he doing? He was limping. because of his hip. The sun rose, and the night of wrestling became the morning of blessing. …
… the Bible tells us that you and I in Jesus are more than conquerors. Romans chapter 8, verse 36 and 37 says, As it is written, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. yet in all these things these things we are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us you know how awesome that phrase is he could have just said you're a conqueror in Christ no no Paul says that's not enough you are more than a conqueror more than a victor that there that while you might be slaughtered all day and maybe in life life is hitting you wherever you go you're representing Jesus and you just feel like you're getting hit left and right you just might be in the right place. But in Jesus, whatever trial, whatever tribulation, whatever result comes from living in a hostile world against your faith, against my faith, we in Jesus, at the end of the day, even in the face of death, Jesus says you are more than a conqueror. That is awesome. …
… As it is written, we are being killed all day long. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. So how does that work? We are being killed all day long. We are more than conquerors. Here's the way Jesus said that, I think. Jesus said in Luke 21 16, some of you they will put to death. but not a hair of your head will perish. The Bible talks that way, doesn't it? That's strange. Some of you they will put to death. That's true of those in this room. and not a hair of your head will perish. Doesn't that mean at least in God's meticulous providence over your life, he is so attentive and so mightily and particularly careful with your life, no matter what happens to you, he's watching so closely as the hairs of your head are numbered that nothing can happen to you apart from his sovereign good purposes for your life because to live is Christ and to die is gain. You can't be defeated if God is meticulously sovereign. …
… Look here, Romans 8. No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Jesus who loved us. I'm more than a conqueror. I'm more than an overcomer. I didn't just overcome the things that happened to me and the things that people said to me and the things that happened in my past and the dumb decisions of my past. No, I overcame by the blood of the lamb and the word of my testimony. I made a mistake, but I am not a mistake. My real ID says chosen, graced, favored, anointed. I'm not trying to get a victory. I have a victory because of the finished work of the cross, because of the blood of Jesus, because of the empty tomb. I'm already a winner. Oh, look at this one. I love this one. First Corinthians 15, but thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. It's kind of like, have you seen this on social media? When they say, you know, um, they, they make fun of like somebody on the team that was on the team. They're on the group project. They did nothing to help the group project, but they still get the A? You know, or they point out an athlete that's like, didn't do nothing to help, but they still got the championship. That's like you and I with Jesus. We did nothing to get the victory. Jesus did all the work on the cross, but we... …
… And that's not a statement of conceit. That's a statement of being confident of who we are in Christ Jesus. The Bible said in Romans chapter 8, 37, we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. He loves us. Therefore, we are more than conquerors. Let me tell you what that means. That word more than conqueror means overwhelming victory, super victorious, winning more than the ordinary victory, overpowering and achieving abundant victory. In other words, as blood bought born again believers. We don't just endure. We win with purpose and peace. You've been purchased with the blood. You've been empowered by the Holy Ghost. The words of God in your mouth can demolish strongholds. The name of Jesus on your lips can unlock every prison that he's tried to secure in your life. And let me tell you, 2,000 years ago when Jesus Christ hung on the cross, It is still relevant today in this culture, in this time, in this society. He is still King of King and Lord of Lord. …
… you to turn in your Bible to Romans chapter 8. It's a great chapter, but we're going to look particularly at verses 31 to 39, Romans 8, verses 31 to 39. And I'll read that for you just so you have it in mind. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies. Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword, as it is written, for your sake we are being put to death all day long. …
… if God be for us, who can be against us? That's Romans chapter 8. And I am persuaded that in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us. You know where that is? That's Romans chapter 8. As a matter of fact, that's a good title for this series, more than conquerors. And for the next few weeks, I want to walk you through Romans chapter 8 in the hope that it will help your faith. It will strengthen your resolve to hold to God's unchanging hand. It'll help you make sense of what you see in the world. And it will remind you that no matter what comes our way, we are more than conquerors. Before we get into the series and begin walking through these verses, I would suggest to you, as I would with any passage of scripture, that if you would handle the Bible correctly, you must put what you read in context. The Bible taken out of context is one of the most dangerous writings in all the world. …
… for your sake, we are killed all day long. We are counted as sheep for the slaughter. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. an extraordinary portion of scripture. I want us to walk through these verses, but I want to first just declare something over you. All of this is about the love of God. All of this, all, all of this, the resurrection, the fact that he made us members of one another, that he gave us the promise of eternity. All of this is about the demonstration, the experience, the realization of the love of God in our lives. We sing songs and make declarations like, it's all about you and it's right. We talk about worshiping for the audience of one. It's an appropriate response. …
… IT IS WRITTEN, FOR THY SAKE WE'RE KILLED ALL THE DAY LONG, WE'RE COUNTED AS SHEEP FOR THE, FOR THE SLAUGHTER. NAY, IN ALL THESE THINGS, NOT IN THE ABSENCE OF THESE THINGS, BUT IN ALL OF THESE THINGS, IN THE EYE OF THE STORM, WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US. AND DIFFICULTY IN YOUR LIFE DOES NOT MEAN THAT GOD HAS ABANDONED YOU. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT. HE HAS SAID, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, NOR forsake you. Hebrews 13 verses 5 and 6. What am I saying? You must erect, you must erect, my dear friend, a very stable, a very secure, a very strong building. You must do that. And then you must expect a stormy blast. And THEN YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE STEADFAST BLESSING. NOTICE AGAIN WHAT JESUS SAYS. JESUS SAYS HERE IN, IN VERSE 24, AND WHOSOEVER HEARTH THESE SAYINGS OF MINE AND DOETH THEM, I WILL LIKEN HIM UNTO A WISE MAN WHICH BUILT HIS HOUSE UPON A ROCK. AND THE RAIN DESCENDED, AND THE FLOODS CAME, AND THE WINDS BLEW AND BEAT UPON THAT HOUSE. LUKE SAYS IT BEAT VEHEMENTLY UPON THE HOUSE, BUT IT FELL NOT FOR IT WAS FOUNDED UPON A ROCK. WHY DO SOME PEOPLE FOLD UP? WHY DO SOME PEOPLE CAVE IN? WHY ARE SOME JUST BLOWN AWAY? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. THEY HAVE BUILT UPON THE SHIFTING SAND OF GOOD INTENTION. THEY HAVE BUILT UPON THE SILT AND THE MUC OF RELIGIOUS ACTIVITY. BUT THEY HAVE NEVER BUILT UPON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHERE THE …
