Paul reminds us that grace does not leave us stuck in the old life.
Many people believe in God, pray, worship, serve, and try to do the right things, but still feel trapped in old patterns. We may say, “This is just how I am,” or “I will never change.” Romans 6 gives us a better word of hope. Through Jesus Christ, grace does more than forgive our past. Grace makes us new and teaches us to walk in newness of life.
In this sermon, we explore why grace is not permission to stay the same, what it means to be joined to the death and resurrection of Jesus, and how old patterns no longer have the right to define who we are.
In this message, you will learn:
• Why grace is more than forgiveness
• What it means to walk in newness of life
• Why old patterns are not your master
• How baptism points us to our new identity in Christ
• Why real change comes through grace, not shame
• How to practice one new response when old patterns rise
