7/3/2022 Worship Service and Sermon: Sanctification Sermon #2: Death to Sin - Romans 6:1-11

7/3/2022 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Worship Leader: Dave Stoltzfus Speaker: Pastor Steve Estes Title: Sanctification Sermon #2: Death to Sin Scripture: Romans 6:1-11 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin--because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he loves to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 1. Paul's basic position 2. Paul is talking to Christians (i.e., people who have been baptized) 3. Overcoming sin starts with something we are to know A. We must know that "We died" B. We must know that "We died to sin" C. We must know that "Our death to sin has to do with Christ's death" 4. Wrong views of death to sin A. Death to sin as a psychological change B. Death to sin as a death to sin's allure C. Death to sin as a stimulus ...To Be Continued (two weeks from now, Lord willing) Benediction: To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,...to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. #deadtosin #Romans #sanctification To connect with Brick Lane, visit our website at: https://www.brick52.org/ For more biblical teaching, you can also listen to audio sermons at: https://www.brick52.org/audio-sermons
