In "Acceptance of the Struggle," Dr. Kurt Bjorklund unpacks Romans 7:14–25 and the tension every believer knows—wanting to do good, yet finding sin still at work within.

Experience of Grace #2 - Slaves to Righteousness
Dr. Kurt Bjorklund unpacks Romans 6:15-23, revealing that we're all slaves to something—either sin, which leads to death, or God, which leads to life. Discover why true freedom isn't doing whatever you want, but surrendering your heart to Christ and walking the path that leads to life.
