Podcasts about dead to sin

Messages from Merge Community Church in Azle, Tx.

The fact that Jesus paid for all of the sin we have ever done or ever will do does not mean we should go on sinning. When we were baptised into Christ, our old life died with him. Now, we live in newness of life with Him in HIs resurrection! The key is to recon our selves dead to sin.

In a world that tells us to follow every desire, the gospel declares a new reality—we are no longer slaves to sin. United with Christ in His death and resurrection, our identity has been completely transformed. Discover what it means to live in the freedom of being dead to sin and alive to God.

Romans 1–5 communicates the radical truth that, by faith in Christ's righteousness alone, apart from any works of our own, we have been declared right with God. Paul ends Romans 5 in the clearest terms possible: “where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” (Rom. 5:20). Not only is this teaching controversial, it is dangerous. Why? Because some may assert that it leads to rampant sinning. However, Paul answers such misunderstandings. To those who would assert, “Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?” Paul responds with the strongest Greek negative available: “By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?”Take-Home Message: In Christ, I am dead to sin.In Christ, I am dead to the pattern of sin (1–4).In Christ, I am dead to the position of sin (5).In Christ, I am dead to the power of sin (6–7).Take-Home Lessons:In Christ, my pattern is replacing sin's lies with God's Word.In Christ, my position is not sinner but saint.In Christ, my power is God's justification.

Does God's infinite grace mean we have a "license to sin"? In this Sunday evening study, our guest speaker Parker Reynolds dives into **Romans chapter 6** to answer the question Paul poses: "Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?".While it's true that where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, Paul is clear that this is not an invitation to live an unrepentant life. We explore the transformative power of the gospel, the symbolism of baptism as a death and resurrection, and why true grace leads to a life of radical obedience rather than a "crook's admirable arrangement" of sin and easy forgiveness.**Key Topics Covered:****The Debt We Can't Repay:** Why good deeds alone cannot tip the scales of our guilt or atone for our sins.**The Beauty of the Gift:** Exploring how justification comes as a free gift through the redemption found in Jesus Christ.**The Meaning of Baptism:** How being buried with Christ in baptism allows us to rise and "walk in newness of life".**Grace vs. License:** Deconstructing the flawed logic that "I like sin and God likes forgiving," and why sin remains destructive to our lives and relationships.**Instruments of Righteousness:** The call to renounce worldly passions and align our will with God's purpose as "zealous for good works".

This week, Cam reads to us from Colossians 3:1-11, while Spencer speaks on the same passage.Spencer challenges us that e can't step into the new life if we're still holding onto the things that expired and died a long time ago with Christ. Spencer explained to us that our new life and identity in Christ needs to shape our actions. We participate in this transformation of our lives by putting to death our old ways of sin and pursuing the new life and goodness of God. By doing this experience the fulfillment and supremacy of Christ in all things.

If you've ever wondered why the Christian life can feel like a constant uphill battle — even after giving your life to Christ — this episode speaks directly to that struggle. Pastor Lawrence opens Romans 6:1–14 to show us that lasting transformation doesn't start with willpower. It starts with understanding what actually happened to you the moment you placed your faith in Jesus.Paul's message is urgent: you can't change your life if you don't know your identity. This episode unpacks the powerful "consider and present" framework from Romans 6, confronts the lies that keep believers stuck, and points to the grace that sets us free — not just from sin's penalty, but from sin's mastery.Show Notes & Key Takeaways:1. Change will never happen if you don't know what happened when you became a Christian (Romans 6:1–10)Paul asks "don't you know?" three times — establishing that knowing the truth of your union with Christ is the non-negotiable starting point for transformation.2. Change begins the moment you believe in the righteous identity God has declared over you (Romans 6:11)"Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus." — Romans 6:11This isn't wishful thinking. It's reckoning — choosing to believe what God declared even before you feel it. As with Abraham, belief comes first, and strength follows.3. Change happens when you stop trying to make yourself better and offer yourself to the One who can make it happen (Romans 6:12–14)"Offer yourselves to God… as an instrument of righteousness." — Romans 6:13Two movements: Consider (your new identity) + Present (your whole self to God). This is how transformation flows.Referenced in This Episode:J.I.

In Romans 6:1-4, Paul confronts a question that still matters today: if God's grace covers sin, does it really matter how we live? This message reminds us that grace is not permission to stay the same; it is the power of God that changes us from the inside out. Through Christ, the old life has been buried, sin no longer gets the final word, and believers are called to walk in newness of life. Christianity is not just about forgiveness; it is about resurrection, transformation, and a new identity in Jesus.

Romans : The Power of Grace | Week 11: Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ | Brian Bloye

Romans 6:1-11

Romans 6:1-11

Grace does not excuse sin. It breaks its power. Romans 6 explores the transformation that takes place when someone is united with Christ. Through His death and resurrection, believers move from condemnation to justification, from estrangement to reconciliation, and into the lifelong work of sanctification that will one day culminate in glorification. Paul confronts the misunderstanding that grace might permit continued sin and answers with clarity: those who belong to Christ have died to sin and been raised into new life. Baptism points to this deeper spiritual reality. The old self has been crucified, sin's authority has been broken, and believers are now called to live as people who are alive to God. Freedom in Christ is not the freedom to return to the old life but the freedom to serve a new Master. Sin leads to shame and death, but the life shaped by righteousness bears the fruit of holiness. The contrast is summed up in Paul's final declaration: the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Grace not only forgives the past. It forms a new people who walk in the life Christ has given.

In this MOTW Pastor Zack dives into Romans 5–7 as Paul tackles a timeless question: If we're saved by grace, does sin still matter? Through powerful contrasts between Adam and Christ, Paul reminds us that grace isn't permission to sin, it's power over sin. We don't fight for victory; we fight from a place of victory in Jesus. This message calls us to stop striving for self-justification and instead surrender fully to the finished work of the cross.

Bill Kittrell continues our sermon series Romans: The Greatest Letter Ever Written in Romans 6:1-7 with this week's message titled "Dead to Sin".

“This is not a spectator sport.” Justin Younger preaches from Romans about sin, grace, and what it truly means to live as someone who has been made new in Christ—calling listeners to examine not just what they believe, but how they live. Romans reminds us that righteousness is received, not earned. If you are born again, your identity is no longer “sinner,” but son or daughter. From that foundation, this message challenges believers to grow up spiritually, walk in obedience, and stop treating church as the only place they hear God. This sermon is both a confrontation and an invitation. It invites listeners into real relationship with Jesus, where freedom from habitual sin is not found through striving or self-improvement, but through abiding fully in Him. Justin speaks plainly about conviction—not as shame or condemnation, but as the Holy Spirit's loving invitation to go deeper, to surrender honestly, and to let Jesus fill every place where sin once ruled. As you listen, be prepared to be challenged. This message calls us out of hiding, out of pretending, and out of passive Christianity. Following Jesus means responding, obeying, and living like Him every day. God is not training spectators—He is forming disciples who are willing to get in the game and live a transformed life in Christ. https://theroads.church

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues our study in Romans with a message from Romans 6:1–14.

Through this passage, we're invited to understand who we are in Christ and to live in light of that new reality.

Dead to Sin; Alive in Christ (Romans 6:1-14)

Believers are set free from sin's power through union with Christ and must live in that reality by choosing daily to walk in grace and not return to former patterns of sin.

The bible says we are dead in our sins and need to be resurrected spiritually through the second birth. This results in a new heart and a new life, where we die to sin and live as new creations. * 00:00 - Introduction* 08:26 - Doomed to Die* 14:11 - Original Sin* 19:45 - Dead in Sin* 32:14 - Dead to Sin* 47:19 - The Old Self & The New Self* 1:00:37 - The Importance of Receiving Christ* 1:11:52 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

Romans 6:11 — Christians are alive unto God in the reign and realm of God. They were dead in sin, but now have been raised together with Christ into an entirely new sphere. But what does it mean to be alive to God? In this sermon on Romans 6:11 titled “Dead to Sin, Alive to God,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones teaches about the new relationship the Christian has with God. “The most terrible thing about a life of sin is that you are not open to the blessings of God,” he states. Common graces are not the real blessings of God; they pale in comparison to these spiritual promises. To be alive unto God means to be part of His purpose. Christians are united to Christ because they are now in Him and members of His body. Be encouraged and learn the result of being in God and the importance of the word “never.” The same Spirit that comes upon the Christian was in Christ. God has begun this work in the Christian and He will complete this work. Be dead to sin and alive to Christ. This helps the Christian fight sin through the great assurance and confidence this gospel provides. The joy of the Lord is the Christian's strength. Rest on the sure and perfect word of God.
