[Romans 8:31-39, NIV]
“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died - more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: ‘For your sake we face death all day long; We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Additional Scripture References:
Matthew 12:37, Psalm 139:14, 1 Peter 2:9, Romans 8:37, Mark 1:11, Romans 8:1
The world celebrates getting ahead, beating your opponent, and doing whatever it takes to win — but the truth is, in the Kingdom of God, restraint is strength. In Romans 8, we are reminded that God is on our side, working on our behalf and for our good. Paul says, “Do not grow weary in doing good,” because the greatest temptation isn’t the fight itself, it’s the lie that the fight doesn’t matter. That you can’t win. The good news? If you are in Christ Jesus, this is a battle you cannot lose. Whether reflecting on God’s past faithfulness or looking to His future provision, all of Scripture points to Jesus’ victory. History says He won. Prophecy says He wins. The cross settles it once and for all: God is for you.
If God is for you, why not live for Him?
In the courtroom of heaven, the verdict has already been rendered: Not guilty. Case closed. Romans 8:34 reminds us that Jesus, not only crucified but risen and reigning, is actively interceding for us. The voices of condemnation, whether from the enemy, others, or even ourselves, have no legal standing in God’s Kingdom. Condemnation means to pronounce complete disapproval, to declare someone guilty. But conviction is different, it’s the Spirit’s loving correction that leads us back to life. In Jesus, we’re not just forgiven, we’re adopted, defended, and forever free from the lies that say we’re not enough.
For your additional study: “Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” (Romans 8:34 NIV)
The cross settled the question of our worth. We are so valuable to God that He paid the ultimate price for us with Jesus. In Romans 8:35–36, Paul asks a bold question: What can separate us from the love of Christ? Then lists real, raw experiences, such as persecution, famine, and danger. These aren’t poetic exaggerations; they are battle scars of the early church, proof that pain doesn't equal abandonment. Paul wants us to know: suffering is not separation — trouble may come, but Christ’s love never leaves. Like a magnet that can't be pulled apart, God's love holds tight through every push, pull, and storm. Moses faced the Red Sea, Joshua faced the walls of Jericho, and David faced Goliath. What God has done is the receipt of what He will do.
We are all engaged in a spiritual battle, but in Christ we are more than conquerors. We don’t fight for victory, we fight from it. This isn’t survival, it’s overflow — not just standing after the battle but worshipping through it. Romans 8 begins with no condemnation and ends with no separation, a crescendo of confidence for every believer. If you are convinced of God’s love, you will live convicted by His truth, and that conviction produces confidence in His victory. As VOUS celebrates 10 years, we remember: God has been faithful in the past, He is present in our battles today, and He will be faithful in the future. This is a battle you cannot lose.
Let this truth shape the way you walk this week: in Christ, you are justified, adopted, and deeply loved. The verdict is already in; victory is yours. Live not condemned but convinced.
PRAYER PROMPTS
As you reflect on Sunday’s message, here are some guided prayers and scriptures you can use over the next week. If you're looking for ways to grow deeper in this specific area, let these words cover, challenge, and encourage you along the way.
1. Prayer for Conviction in the Battle
Lord, when I feel weary or tempted to quit, remind me this is a battle I cannot lose. Strengthen me with conviction that your Spirit is fighting for me and my struggle is not in vain.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9)
2. Prayer for Assurance of God’s Love
Father, convince me again and again that nothing can separate me from your love. On the days I feel distant or unworthy, let your love hold me steady, stronger than every lie of the enemy.
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life… will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39)
3. Prayer for Courage in Opposition
Lord, when I face hardship, persecution, or resistance, help me see it not as proof of your absence but of your favor. Remind me that suffering does not mean separation, and you are always with me in the fight.
“In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us” (Romans 8:37)
4. Prayer for Freedom from Condemnation
Jesus, thank you that there is no condemnation for those in you. Silence the lies of the enemy in my life. Teach me to speak words of life over myself and others, walking in the freedom you purchased for me.
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)

[Romanos 8:31-39, NVI] “¿Qué diremos frente a esto? Si Dios está de nuestra parte, ¿quién puede estar en contra nuestra? El que no escatimó ni a su propio Hijo, sino que lo entregó por todos nosotros, ¿cómo no habrá de darnos generosamente, junto con él, todas las cosas? ¿Quién acusará a los que Dios ha escogido? Dios es el que justifica. ¿Quién condenará? Cristo Jesús es el que murió, e incluso resucitó, y está a la derecha de Dios e intercede por nosotros. ¿Quién nos apartará del amor de Cristo? ¿La tribulación, o la angustia, o la persecución, o el hambre, o la desnudez, o el peligro, o la espada? Así está escrito: ‘Por causa de ti siempre nos llevan a la muerte; nos tratan como ovejas para el matadero.’ Sin embargo, en todo esto somos más que vencedores por medio de aquel que nos amó. Pues estoy convencido de que ni la muerte ni la vida, ni los ángeles ni los demonios, ni lo presente ni lo por venir, ni los poderes, ni lo alto ni lo profundo, ni cosa alguna en toda la creación podrá apartarnos del amor que Dios nos ha manifestado en Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor.”
Referencias adicionales:
Mateo 12:37, Salmo 139:14, 1 Pedro 2:9, Romanos 8:37, Marcos 1:11, Romanos 8:1
El mundo celebra avanzar, vencer al oponente y hacer lo que sea necesario para ganar, pero la verdad es que en el Reino de Dios, la verdadera fuerza se encuentra en la restricción. En Romanos 8 se nos recuerda que Dios está de nuestro lado, obrando en nuestro favor y para nuestro bien. Pablo nos dice: “No nos cansemos de hacer el bien”, porque la mayor tentación no es la batalla en sí, sino la mentira de que la batalla no importa. Que no puedes ganar. La buena noticia es esta: si estás en Cristo Jesús, esta es una batalla que no puedes perder. Al mirar la fidelidad pasada de Dios o al confiar en Su provisión futura, toda la Escritura señala a la victoria de Jesús. La historia dice que Él ganó. La profecía dice que Él gana. La cruz lo establece de una vez por todas: Dios está contigo.
Si Dios está contigo, ¿por qué no vivir para Él?
En la sala del tribunal del cielo, el veredicto ya fue pronunciado: No culpable. Caso cerrado. Romanos 8:34 nos recuerda que Jesús, no solo crucificado sino resucitado y reinante, intercede activamente por nosotros. Las voces de condenación —del enemigo, de otros o incluso de nosotros mismos— no tienen validez en el Reino de Dios. Condenar significa declarar completa desaprobación, declarar culpable a alguien. Pero convicción es diferente: es la corrección amorosa del Espíritu que nos conduce de regreso a la vida. En Jesús no solo somos perdonados, somos adoptados, defendidos y libres para siempre de las mentiras que dicen que no somos suficientes.
Para tu estudio adicional:“Entonces, ¿quién condenará? Nadie. Cristo Jesús, quien murió y resucitó, y está a la derecha de Dios, intercede por nosotros.” (Romanos 8:34 NVI)
La cruz resolvió la pregunta de nuestro valor. Somos tan valiosos para Dios que pagó el precio más alto por nosotros con Jesús. En Romanos 8:35–36, Pablo hace una pregunta audaz: ¿Qué puede separarnos del amor de Cristo? Luego menciona experiencias reales y crudas, como persecución, hambre y peligro. Estas no son exageraciones poéticas, son cicatrices de batalla de la iglesia primitiva, prueba de que el dolor no significa abandono. Pablo quiere que sepamos: sufrimiento no es separación —puede venir la tribulación, pero el amor de Cristo nunca nos deja. Como un imán imposible de separar, el amor de Dios nos sostiene en cada empuje, tirón y tormenta. Moisés enfrentó el Mar Rojo, Josué enfrentó los muros de Jericó, y David enfrentó a Goliat. Lo que Dios ha hecho es el recibo de lo que hará.
Todos estamos en una batalla espiritual, pero en Cristo somos más que vencedores. No luchamos por la victoria, luchamos desde la victoria. Esto no es supervivencia, es desbordamiento —no solo permanecer de pie después de la batalla, sino adorar en medio de ella. Romanos 8 comienza con ninguna condenación y termina con ninguna separación, un crescendo de confianza para cada creyente. Si estás convencido del amor de Dios, vivirás bajo la convicción de Su verdad y seguro en Su victoria. Al celebrar VOUS sus 10 años, recordamos: Dios ha sido fiel en el pasado, está presente en nuestras batallas hoy y será fiel en el futuro. Esta es una batalla que no puedes perder.
Deja que esta verdad moldee tu camino esta semana: en Cristo, has sido justificado, adoptado y eres profundamente amado. El veredicto ya está dado; la victoria es tuya. No vivas condenado, sino convencido.
Mientras reflexionas sobre el mensaje del domingo, aquí tienes algunas oraciones guiadas y pasajes bíblicos que puedes usar durante la próxima semana. Si buscas maneras de profundizar en esta área específica, deja que estas palabras te guíen, te desafíen y te animen en el camino.
1. Oración por convicción en la batalla
Señor, cuando me sienta cansado o tentado a rendirme, recuérdame que esta es una batalla que no puedo perder. Fortaléceme con la convicción de que tu Espíritu lucha por mí y que mi lucha no es en vano.
“No nos cansemos de hacer el bien, porque a su debido tiempo cosecharemos si no nos damos por vencidos.” (Gálatas 6:9)
2. Oración para estar seguros del amor de Dios
Padre, convénceme una y otra vez de que nada puede separarme de tu amor. En los días que me sienta distante o indigno, deja que tu amor me sostenga más fuerte que cualquier mentira del enemigo.
“Pues estoy convencido de que ni la muerte ni la vida … podrá apartarnos del amor que Dios nos ha manifestado en Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor.” (Romanos 8:38-39)
3. Oración por valor ante la oposición
Señor, cuando me enfrento a dificultades, persecución o resistencia, ayúdame a verlo no como una prueba de tu ausencia, sino de tu favor. Recuérdame que el sufrimiento no significa separación, y que siempre estás conmigo en la lucha.
“Sin embargo, en todo esto somos más que vencedores por medio de aquel que nos amó.” (Romanos 8:37)
4. Oración por libertad de la condenación
Jesús, gracias porque no hay condenación para quienes están en ti. Silencia las mentiras del enemigo en mi vida. Enséñame a hablar palabras de vida sobre mí y los demás, viviendo en la libertad que me has dado.
“Por lo tanto, ya no hay ninguna condenación para los que están en Cristo Jesús” (Romanos 8:1)

[Romanos 8:31-39, NVI]
“Que diremos, pois, diante dessas coisas? Se Deus é por nós, quem será contra nós? Aquele que não poupou o seu próprio Filho, mas o entregou por todos nós, como não nos dará graciosamente com ele todas as coisas? Quem fará alguma acusação contra os escolhidos de Deus? É Deus quem os justifica. Quem os condenará? Foi Cristo Jesus que morreu; e mais, que ressuscitou. Ele está à direita de Deus e também intercede por nós. Quem nos separará do amor de Cristo? Será tribulação, ou angústia, ou perseguição, ou fome, ou nudez, ou perigo, ou espada? Como está escrito: “Por amor de ti enfrentamos a morte o dia inteiro; somos considerados como ovelhas destinadas ao matadouro”. Mas em todas essas coisas somos mais que vencedores por meio daquele que nos amou. Pois estou convencido de que nem a morte, nem a vida, nem os anjos, nem os demônios, nem o presente, nem o futuro, nem poderes, nem altura, nem profundidade, nem ninguém em toda a criação será capaz de nos separar do amor de Deus que está em Cristo Jesus, o nosso Senhor.”
Referências adicionais:
Mateus12:37, Salmos139:14, 1 Pedro 2:9, Romanos 8:37, Marcos 1:11, Romanos 8:1
O mundo celebra a vitória, a vitória sobre o adversário e o fazer o que for preciso para vencer — mas a verdade é que, no Reino de Deus, a contenção faz a força. Em Romanos 8, somos lembrados de que Deus está do nosso lado, trabalhando em nosso favor e para o nosso bem. Paulo diz: "Não se cansem de fazer o bem", porque a maior tentação não é a luta em si, mas a mentira de que a luta não importa. Que você não pode vencer. A boa notícia? Se você está em Cristo Jesus, esta é uma batalha que você não pode perder. Seja refletindo sobre a fidelidade passada de Deus ou olhando para Sua provisão futura, todas as Escrituras apontam para a vitória de Jesus. A história diz que Ele venceu. A profecia diz que Ele vence. A cruz resolve de uma vez por todas: Deus é por você.
Se Deus é por você, porque não viver por Ele?
No tribunal do céu, o veredito já foi dado: inocente. Caso encerrado. Romanos 8:34 nos lembra que Jesus, não apenas crucificado, mas ressuscitado e reinante, está intercedendo ativamente por nós. As vozes de condenação, sejam do inimigo, de outros ou mesmo de nós mesmos, não têm legitimidade no Reino de Deus. Condenação significa pronunciar desaprovação completa, declarar alguém culpado. Mas a convicção é diferente; é a correção amorosa do Espírito que nos conduz de volta à vida. Em Jesus, não somos apenas perdoados, somos adotados, defendidos e para sempre livres das mentiras que dizem que não somos suficientes.
Para seu estudo adicional: “Quem, pois, os condena? Ninguém. Cristo Jesus, que morreu, ou melhor, que ressuscitou, está à direita de Deus e também intercede por nós.” (Romanos 8:34 NVI)
* Como a promessa de “vida eterna” muda a maneira como você encara seus sofrimentos atuais?
* Cristo já venceu a batalha. Você já se viu vivendo como se estivesse condenado?
* Quando você se imagina naquela cena de tribunal, que emoções surgem? Como a verdade de Deus o ajuda a lidar com essas emoções?
* Em momentos em que você sentiu vontade de desistir da corrida da fé, como os versículos de Romanos 8 o sustentaram? Como saber que você não tem condenação e que nada pode separá-lo do amor de Deus o ancora para lutar?
* De que maneiras você viu a condenação manter as pessoas presas, e como o evangelho quebra essas correntes?
* Se você realmente acreditasse que foi totalmente justificado e adotado por Deus, como isso mudaria sua maneira de viver esta semana?
A cruz resolveu a questão do nosso valor. Somos tão valiosos para Deus que Ele pagou o preço máximo por nós com Jesus. Em Romanos 8:35-36, Paulo faz uma pergunta ousada: O que pode nos separar do amor de Cristo? Em seguida, lista experiências reais e cruas, como perseguição, fome e perigo. Não são exageros poéticos; são cicatrizes de batalha da igreja primitiva, prova de que dor não é sinônimo de abandono. Paulo quer que saibamos: sofrimento não é separação — problemas podem vir, mas o amor de Cristo nunca vai embora. Como um ímã que não pode ser separado, o amor de Deus se mantém firme em cada empurrão, puxão e tempestade. Moisés enfrentou o Mar Vermelho, Josué enfrentou as muralhas de Jericó e Davi enfrentou Golias. O que Deus fez é o recebimento do que Ele fará.
* Você está verdadeiramente convencido do amor de Deus por você, mesmo nos seus dias mais difíceis?
* Como conhecer o seu valor em Cristo muda a maneira como você se vê?
* Qual batalha você está enfrentando que precisa do amor de Deus para te ajudar a vencer?
* Se Deus pagou o preço máximo por você por meio de Jesus, como sua vida seria diferente se você realmente vivesse cada dia convencido desse amor?
* Se nada pode nos separar do amor de Cristo, o que essa verdade significa para a sua vida hoje?
* A presença de oposição não significa ausência do favor de Deus. Como você tem visto o favor de Deus mesmo enfrentando desafios?
Estamos todos engajados em uma batalha espiritual, mas em Cristo somos mais que vencedores. Não lutamos pela vitória, lutamos a partir dela. Isso não é sobrevivência, é transbordar — não apenas permanecer firme após a batalha, mas adorar durante ela. Romanos 8 começa sem condenação e termina sem separação, um crescendo de confiança para cada crente. Se você está convencido do amor de Deus, viverá convicto de Sua verdade, e essa convicção produz confiança em Sua vitória. Ao celebrar 10 anos da VOUS, lembramos: Deus foi fiel no passado, está presente em nossas batalhas hoje e será fiel no futuro. Esta é uma batalha que você não pode perder.
Deixe que esta verdade molde a sua maneira de andar esta semana: em Cristo, você é justificado, adotado e profundamente amado. O veredito já foi dado; a vitória é sua. Viva não condenado, mas convicto.

Contact your Crew Coach ASAP. Don't try to solve these things alone. As always, follow up with the individual. We want them toknow that they are not on this journey alone. If emergency, contact 911.
A parking option (lot, street parking, etc.), an indoor alternative if you select an outdoor space and it rains, make sure the location is a place that can accommodate a large group. Also, consider the noise level. Finally, the goal is to partner with the location that you have Crew. Go in, introduce yourself and let them you that you plan to meet at their location two times a month.
Start by giving them a little responsibility and see what they do with it. Most times, people who attend your crew are waiting for an opportunity to be involved & lead. Delegate different parts of the night and continue to give them more responsibility. Examples are: ice breaker, scripture, main idea, discussion point one and question one, discussion point two and question two, summary, call to action, prayer & praise.
We want to do our best to ensure that we aren't changing locations in the middle of the SZN, however things come up that are beyond our control. If your location closes down mid season, talk to your Crew Coach right away and work with them to find a solution for the remainder of the SZN.
We won't have answers to every question, whether life questions or Bible questions, that we're asked but what we can always do is encourage people in what they're going through. Crew Coaches are also a great resource that you should utilize when moments such as these come up.
We won't have answers to every question, whether life questions or Bible questions, that we're asked but what we can always do is encourage people in what they're going through. Crew Coaches are also a great resource that you should utilize when moments such as these come up.
If an individual is on time and consistent you can start delegating roles to them during crew and begin having conversations with them around being part of your building blocks. Don't wait for the "perfect leader" to walk into your Crew. The truth is, your Crew will flow better and be more enjoyable for everyone if multiple people are involved in leading and organizing the night. Deciding on which role is the best fit should based on their personality and leadership skills.
An overview of your night, who led which parts of the night, guest contact info -- you should always write "ADD TO ROSTER" above the peoples names who you'd like added to your roster. If out of town guests or people from attend other crews join your crew you can still add their contact info but clearly state that they won't be added to roster. Always add first and last names for prayer requests and praise reports. A SWOT at the end of your summary will be helpful for you to continue improving your Crew each week.
Prepare in advance and arrive early! If you're speaking 30% of the time and others are speaking 70% of the time you're on your way to building a healthy Crew. Delegate roles and let the Building Blocks in your Crew know in advance what role they will help with that night so they can arrive prepared. Send out your Crew invite and work with your co-leads to individually text everyone on your roster and personally invite them out. Another great way to know if you're on your way to building a healthy Crew is if you have yourBuilding Blocks in place.
Crew is all about building relationships! Get to know each other, find out their story! Invest time into them by asking hard questions. Help connect dots for them by talking about the Growth Track, water baptism, serving and Crew.
We want to consistently be raising up leaders. Before the SZN begins, it should be your goal to have all your building blocks in place. In the event that you don't, continue to search out people who can support you in a building block role. You can even work with your previous Crew Leaders to see if there's anyone who can transition with you and also ask other people who aren't leading in their current Crew. Remember, it's not the job of a Crew Coach to find your building blocks!
Yes! We want to make sure that we are honoring other Crew Leaders when doing this. If an individual is not holding a Building Block role in another Crew, work with your Crew Coach and the other person's Crew Leader in facilitating this conversation. We want to make sure the other person's Crew Leader is aware of what's going on.
Part of your role as a Crew leader is building up those around you. Allow your Building Blocks to learn and grow. Give them and other consistent leaders in your Crew opportunities to lead in multiple areas of Crew, including in leading the discussion.
In moments that the conversation gets off topic, step in and redirect the conversation back on topic.
