In this week's episode, we will discuss what true freedom looks like, how it is obtained, how we can live truly free from sin, and more! Scripture discussed this week: Romans 6:15-23, 2 Timothy 2:22, Romans 7, Romans 8:3-11.Personal Instagram:
Much of American Christianity is riddled with the false belief that you come as you are and can stay as you are. Paul disagrees with this when he says, "Reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord." The power of salvation in Christ is evidenced in a life free from the bondage of habitual sin and that power is available to those who respond in faith to the grace freely offered from the Lord.

Today's Bible Verse: "Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you can obey its evil desires." — Romans 6:12 Romans 6:12 challenges believers to consider who or what is truly in control of their lives. After explaining the new life believers have in Christ, Paul issues a warning: don't allow sin to take the throne of your heart. While sin no longer has the ultimate power it once did over those who belong to Jesus, it still seeks to influence our thoughts, desires, and decisions. Want to listen without ads?

After explaining the Gospel in Romans 1-5, Paul turns to dealing with distortions of its message. In Romans 6, he defended God's grace. Now in Romans 7, he defends God's Law. Paul knew that his statements about the Law in Romans may lead critics to suggest he thought the Law was bad. Yet he shouts in Romans 7:12, the Law is good! God's Law serves His purposes by exposing sin, yet sin seeks to seize this good Law and use it to kill us. Paul's argument that the Law is good, but the Gospel is better, will reach a crescendo in Romans 8:3-4– “For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” Take-Home Message: God's good Law exposes sin, but only His Gospel can defeat it.In Defense of the Law:The Law is not sinful; it exposes sin (7).The Law is not sinful; it is seized by sin (7b-8)The Law is not sinful; it is sin that kills me (9-13).Take-Home Lessons:God's Law is good.Sin can use good things for bad purposes.Sin kills me by lying to me.How does sin use the Law to lie to me?The lie of self-righteousness– I can keep the Law well enough to save myself.The lie of self-indulgence– I cannot keep the Law well enough to save myself, so I might as well get all the fleeting pleasure out of life that I can.The Gospel defeats sin where the Law could not.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Romans 6, in which Paul suggests that Christians, who have died to sin, cannot continue to live in it. Sin is met not with the law, but with a double dose of the Gospel: the announcement of new life in Christ.
Paul explains that although we are free from the law, the law is not meaningless nor evil. For it is through the law that we know the exceeding sinfulness of sin. Furthermore, it reveals the utter weakness of our flesh to keep the law and to fulfill our desire to be good. We want to do good, but we don't. We want to avoid evil, but we fall into it again and again. There is a battle that rages within us that traps many in a vicious cycle of guilt and attempts at good works. But there is glorious victory outside of oneself in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Sin is terrible. Like a disease, it will corrupt, blind, and inhibit us in our walk with the Lord. If we are to be faithful and fruitful, we must, by the Spirit, put to death the sin that still remains in our life. In this sermon we talk about WHY we must do that, and HOW we do that, so that we can be the servants God calls us to.
John Owen famously said, “Be killing sin, or sin will be killing you.” The war with sin connects us with all people of all times, because the sin problem is timeless and universal. None of our technological advances have fixed our sinful nature, guilty conscience, or separation from God. What makes Romans relevant today is that it speaks to this seemingly impossible issue. The key to killing sin lies in answering this question: Who is King of your life?Take-Home Question: I cannot kill sin without a new King.The War Against Sin (12-13)The War: Between God and SinThe Battleground: Your BodyThe OptionsPresent your members to sin as weapons of unrighteousnessPresent your members to God as weapons of righteousnessThe Question: Who is King?God's Victory Over Sin (14)Living in God's Victory Over Sin Reject sin's reign by treasuring God (12).Resist the body's sinful desires (12).Run toward righteousness (13).Remember whose you are (14).
Can We Really Overcome Sin? (Romans 6:1–16) - Dr. T. J. Betts
Paul anticipates that there will be those who seek to take advantage of God's grace by continuing in their sin. But he adamantly states that Christians should not continue in sin because they have been set free from the power of sin through their union with Christ in his death and resurrection. As such, their old life is dead and they have been given a brand new life. From that foundational union with Christ, Christians must now fight against sin by remembering who they are, by refusing to submit to sin's power, and by resting in God's grace.

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.
Introduction Why should I care about the consequences of sin? 1. The Death of Jeroboam's Son (v1-20) 2. The Bankruptcy of Rehoboam's Reign (v11-22) 3. The Consequences of Sin (Romans 1:21-32) Conclusion Sin is a miserable business. We should care about sin because God hates sin, and he will not leave any sin unpunished. How then should we live? Remember we are all sinners. So, stay humble and prayerful. Pray for one another. Although we are all sinners, God still cares for us; and he has given us the means to take up the fight against sin. Pray that God will 'Deliver us from evil.' Don't hide the truth. Secrecy is one of Satan's biggest weapons. Don't hide in the shadows. Keep putting sin to death in your own life. Know yourself. Know your weaknesses and know your times of temptation. Flee from sin! Strive to be holy, as God has called you to be.
Breaking the Chain of Sin Romans 8:12-17 12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. Christ changes us when He sends us the Holy Spirit. I. Life in the Spirit brings freedom from sin. II. Life in the Spirit brings sonship. III. Life in the Spirit brings an inheritance.
Series: Holy SpiritService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWelcome back to You Are From God. As we continue in Romans 7 & 8 we discuss how the law God gave Moses held men captive to sin. We contrast that to the freedom from the law we now have through the salvation Jesus has brought to us. We are no longer held captive by the law and sin, but transformed by the Spirit of God. Consider with us how our new faith justifies us and restores us as Children of God by His grace.

If we're saved by grace, what do we do about sin? In Romans 6, we're reminded that we didn't just get forgiven—we died with Christ and were raised to a new life. This week, Pastor Korey challenges us to live in that freedom, showing that grace doesn't excuse sin, it breaks its power and calls us to something greater.

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".
Pastor Mac provides an expositional style teaching of Romans CH 3:9-20 looking into the final portion of section 2 of the book of Romans that capstones the total depravity of man. This teaching will define what total depravity means, as well as examine how the apostle Paul uses a God ordained method to quote the Old Testament from various places. In addition, we will explore portions of the psalms that are quoted in order to contrast how we should be in our walk as Christians, knowing that without the righteousness of God, all of humanity remains under sin.Social MediaProphecy Website: http://JDFarag.orgMobile & TV Apps: https://subsplash.com/calvarychapelkaneohe/appChurch Website: http://www.calvarychapelkaneohe.comX: https://x.com/JDFaragFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JDFaragInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/JDFarag

Paul asks the question every critic of grace loves to throw: If we're saved by free grace and not by law-keeping, why not just keep sinning? In this final B-Sides of the year, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten dive into Romans 6 and show why the answer is a resounding “By no means!” Union with Christ's death and resurrection, the end of slavery to sin, and the myth of neutrality all show that grace doesn't permit sin—it kills it. Merry Christmas, everyone!We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.
What does it mean that whatever is not of faith is sin? What is the meaning of Romans 14:23?
Summary In this sermon from Romans 7:7–13, Dr. Michael Easley unpacks one of Scripture's most complex questions: If God's law is good, why does it seem to lead us into sin? Paul reminds us that the problem isn't the law—it's the sin within us. God's law is holy, righteous, and good, but sin twists what is good into an opportunity for rebellion. Dr. Easley outlines seven functions of the law, revealing that while the law defines and exposes sin, it cannot save us from it. The law condemns, provokes, and reveals the depth of our sinfulness, pointing us instead to our desperate need for Christ. No set of rules or moral codes can make us good; only intimacy with Jesus transforms the heart. When we seek fulfillment in Him rather than in the false promises of the world—whether through lust, greed, or pride—sin loses its grip. Dr. Easley reminds us that the Christian life isn't about trying harder to stop sinning; it's about walking more closely with Christ. Only when He becomes our “all in all” can we find the true freedom the law could never provide. Takeaways God's law is holy, righteous, and good—but sin twists it into an opportunity for rebellion. The law reveals sin's power but cannot save us from it. No number of rules can make us righteous; only Christ can transform the heart. Sin deceives and provokes, taking what is good and turning it against us. True freedom comes not from resisting sin but from pursuing intimacy with Jesus Christ. When Christ becomes our all in all, the world's temptations lose their hold. To read the book of Romans, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.
This is Romans Part 2: The Gospel – The New Humanity (Romans 5–8). In these chapters, Paul shows how the good news of Jesus doesn't just pardon sinners—it creates a whole new humanity. Through Christ, we are freed from sin, filled with the Spirit, and assured of God's unshakable love."The Law and Sin" is a sermon based on Romans 7:1-12 preached by lead pastor Billy Glosson.This sermon was preached at Mission Church — a church in Morganton, North Carolina in the heart of Burke County.Join us in person on Sundays, 10 AM221 Herron St.Morganton NC, 28655
