Focus:  As part of our Re-Formation, we need to be Re-Aligned to God’s truth.  Even after being Reinforced beyond reasonable doubt, the Devil will continue to appeal to our human logic and emotion to erode our confidence and to steal our peace and joy.  So, on the heels of the promise that nothing could ever separate us, the Devil asks, “Really? Well, what about the Israelites, God’s chosen people, the children of the promise?  How did it work out for them?” Main Text: Romans 9:1-13

Focus:  We have eternity to look forward to, the Spirit of God as our strength, God working for good in all things, God on our side willing to do anything, and a declaration of “sin-free” from the Judge as we are in Christ.  Christ has already gained total victory for us.  AND it is impossible for anything else to separate us from Him!  Truly, in our Re-Formation, our Reinforcement comes with more than a lifetime guarantee, we have an eternal guarantee! Main Text: Romans 8:35-39

Focus:  Who would dare accuse you in front of the Judge, who gave his own Son to stand in your place?  He already heard the case, Jesus already paid the price, the case is closed.  The judge has declared you free from sin.  Any further accusations would be a challenge to the Judge’s authority and a personal insult to the Judge and His Son. Main Text: Romans 8:33-34

Focus:  Have you ever had a Goliath standing in your way?  Something or someone insurmountable, threatening to take away all of your joy and hope?  Maybe if you were young, you wished you had The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, or Wonder Woman backing you up?  As an adult maybe you wished someone higher in your company was on your side.  You, brothers and sisters of Christ, have God!  What can stand in the way when God will do anything for us? Main Text: Romans 8:31-32

Focus:  What if, even in the midst of difficulty, you knew that God was working for good?  Imagine approaching every situation as an explorer, looking to see how God might be using it for good. Main Text: Romans 8:28-30

Focus:  Creation groans with us in our weakness and we groan waiting eagerly for the redemption of our bodies.  The Spirit also groans alongside of us, but not out of His weakness or in futility.  The Spirit carries our burden with us, and even brings words on our behalf before the Father.  We might not know what to pray for, or how to pray, but the Spirit speaks for us, on our behalf.  What could be stronger that God’s own Spirit speaking to Him, on our behalf?  Main Text: Romans 8:26-27
