Romans Chapter 8 states that because of the finished work of Christ, the believer is free from all condemnation (Rom 8:1–11). It then says that by means of the continuing work of the Spirit, the believer is free from the dominion of sin (Rom 8:12–27). It concludes that on the basis of God’s sovereign and eternal plan, the believer is free as a result of the defeat of sin (Rom 8:28–39). This book was originally a set of notes given out at the October 2009 Kansas Conference.

Practical sanctification (1Th 5:12-25). God is preparing us for something greater. Israel was worshipping many gods. Elijah summoned all the people to Mount Carmel. Though Ahab accused him, Elijah pinpointed the trouble of Israel to be Ahab (1Ki 18:16-20). Evil leadership of Ahab was worse than the string of kings before (1Ki 16:33). The word used for "evil" is akar meaning there are harmful social implications to the actions taken. Confession is necessary, but we also have to deal with consequences (Heb 12:15, Pro 11:17, Prov 11:29, Pro 15:27). Trouble are brought on yourself -- (Jos 7:25, 1Ch 2:7, Pro 15:6, Exo 20:5). The consequence of Ahab was felt 150 years later (Mic 6:16). Restatement of the ten commandments (Deu 5:6-21) which is the preamble to the law of Moses. The first five commands are God-ward and second five relate to those around us. Ahab violated all the commands. God's favor cannot be restored until the source of error removed (Pro 28:13). God wants us to be set aside for His purpose (1Th 4:3).
