When You Want to Change but Can’t
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message, Pastor Finu unpacks Romans 7:7–25 to show how the gospel reframes our struggle with sin.

The law isn’t the villain; it’s the UV light exposing what was always there. This righteousness isn’t self-powered—it’s Christ-powered. The message confronts despair, disarms doubt, and invites us to stop hiding and start crying out. This sermon challenges both strugglers and pretenders to drop the performance, embrace the war as worship,...

info_outlineIn this message, Pastor Chris unpacks Romans 5:1-11 to show how justification by faith transforms not only our eternity but our present life. Because of Jesus, we have peace with God, access to his grace, and joy that endures even through suffering. Paul reminds us that hardship produces endurance, character, and hope. And this hope will not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Spirit. At the center of it all is the staggering truth that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. If God loved us then, how much more does he love us now as his children?
