The Cross and the Colosseum: How the Heart of Romans is the Hope of the World
MESSAGE NOTES: JULY 19, 2026
Who? What? Where?
Pastor Rachel Koch
Romans 8:12–17
“Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”
Where do I belong?
Who am I?
What is my purpose?
WHERE DO I BELONG?
You belong to the spirit. SO WHAT: The old voices are evicted and have no power.
Romans 8:14-16
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
WHO AM I?
You are God’s precious Child. SO WHAT: The Father fills your home with His voice.
Romans 8:15-16 NIV
By him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
Romans 8:12-17 NIV
17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”
WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?
To join my Father in the renewal of all things.
“The story of human beings made in the image of God is that even when we are not godlike in any way, and perhaps especially then, God is still for us.” — Lucy Peppiatt, The Imago Dei
