In this powerful message, we explore the deep, internal struggle that every believer faces after finding freedom in Christ. Drawing from the experiences of the Apostle Paul, the sermon addresses a "Really Big Question": Why does a follower of Christ often feel "wrenched" or "afflicted" even after escaping the grip of sin?.

Pastor Scotty highlights that while believers receive a new nature through faith in Jesus, the "flesh" continues to wage its own war. To understand this conflict, the sermon examines two primary objectives of the Law: exposing our specific sins and revealing our underlying sinfulness. This sinfulness is a reality that Christ-followers must confront on a daily basis.

The message outlines five essential truths regarding the nature of sin that every believer must understand:

• Sin has a hook and a chain.
• Sin remains attractive, even when we are fully aware of its dangers.
• Sin demands our attention, keeping us in its "audience" even when we are not fans of its work.
• Sin’s appeal is limited strictly to our flesh.

Ultimately, we are reminded that we cannot win this internal war through our own strength. True victory is found in only one place and through only one person: Jesus Christ.
