What comes to mind when you read the word, addict? 

Do you envision someone strung out on drugs or alcohol? 

Maybe you have seen firsthand the devastating effects of

substance abuse. Maybe you, or someone you love, is or

has been in the throes of addiction. If you’re fortunate,

you have also encountered someone who has found

freedom from their addiction! Their story is one of

deliverance, redemption, and recovery. These are

powerful stories of perseverance, worthy of celebration.

 Every recovery story began with a step. A step that

doesn’t feel like a step at all, in fact, it feels more like

defeat. Step one in our new series requires that you face

the problem of your sin and accept that you are

powerless against it and your life is unmanageable

because of it. 

In preparation for Sunday, read Romans 7:14-24.
