Moses-Centered Legalism (Part 2)

In today’s episode, Pastor Chris Gordon and Pastor Dan Borvan continue their discussion on redemptive historical preaching. They take a realistic look at the problem of sin and discuss how preaching Romans 7 AND Romans 8 to believers can instill a balance of repentance and comfort in the Lord. They look at the Canons of Dordt, break down where true biblical obedience comes from and discuss hope in knowing that Christians can, Lord willing, actively conform to the image of Christ by the Spirit.
