Godspeak Calvary Chapel

On his 12th wedding anniversary, Pastor Micah Stephens preaches from Romans 7, exploring the internal war between the redeemed spirit and sinful flesh. Drawing parallels between marriage’s sanctifying challenges and the Christian walk, he reflects on Paul’s journey from “least of the apostles” to “chief of sinners,” emphasizing that closeness to Christ reveals sin’s depth, not its increase. Contrasting King Saul’s excuses with King David’s repentance, Pastor Micah assures believers that their position in Christ—free from condemnation—outweighs their earthly condition. Through communion, he encourages the congregation to reject the enemy’s lies, embrace Christ’s deliverance, and persist in the fight, trusting in the ultimate redemption of their bodies.Verse References: Romans 7 verses 14–25, Romans 6 verse 2, Romans 6 verse 6, Romans 6 verse 11, Romans 6 verse 14, Romans 6 verse 23, Romans 8 verse 1, Romans 8 verse 23, 1 Corinthians 15 verse 9, Ephesians 3 verse 8, 1 Timothy 1 verse 15, 1 John 1 verses 8–10, P
