We conclude our series on A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST by looking at Paul’s personal thoughts on his own sin. He then explains why we continue to struggle with sin even after we choose to follow Christ. It is a well-known passage that doesn’t give us an excuse to sin, but helps us understand ourselves a bit better. After this weekend, we will take a break from Romans for a few months.
We continue our series on A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST by moving to chapter 7 and learning about the next question Paul assumes his readers are asking (Did the Law kill me?). In this passage, Paul uses two clever illustrations to help us understand the answer.
We continue our study of A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST by looking at Romans 6:15-23. In a sense, chapters 6 & 7 are a parenthesis in Paul’s writings as he wants his readers to understand mastery. Simply put, before you were a Christian, sin was your master. Now that you follow Christ, He has become your new Master. How that works out practically is our study this weekend.
We begin a new series called A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST. As we begin Romans 6, we find that the RESURRECTION is the key thought, and Paul gives very practical instructions on how to live since we are DEAD to sin but ALIVE to Christ.
