When You Want to Change but Can’t

In this message, Pastor Finu unpacks Romans 7:7–25 to show how the gospel reframes our struggle with sin. In a world that expects perfection or excuses failure, Paul admits he does what he hates—and that very fight proves he’s alive in Christ. 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, and live in the freedom of grace that lifts us higher.
