What have you inherited—and what can Jesus make brand new?
In week two of our Brand New series, Hosanna Wong teaches from Romans 5 and reveals the contrast between two legacies: what we inherit in Adam, and what we receive in Jesus. Some patterns may have been passed down to us through family, culture, or pain—but they do not have to define our future.
This message explores the powerful truth that in Adam we inherit:
• Sin
Anything less than God’s best for our lives.
• Separation
Brokenness between us and God, and between us and others.
• Shame
The pressure to hide, pretend, or perform.
• Death
The spiritual and physical consequences of sin.
But in Jesus, we receive a brand new inheritance:
• Salvation from Sin
Grace is greater than our failures.
• Close Relationship with God
We are welcomed into the family of God.
• Freedom from Shame
We no longer have to hide—we can be healed.
• Brand New Life
The same power that raised Jesus can transform us today.
Hosanna also shares practical ways to break free from patterns that have held us back:
No matter what has been handed down to you, the power of Jesus is greater.
You are not stuck.
You are not your past.
You are not limited to old patterns.
In Christ, you belong to a new family and a new future.
