    Scripture: Romans 6:5-14 (Read from ESV)

    Preacher: Rev. Gary Findley

    III. Its Grateful Impulse
    Conclusion

    The Heidelberg Catechism
    Q&A 40

    Q. Why did Christ have to suffer death?

    A. Because God’s justice and truth require it: nothing else could pay for our sins except the death of the Son of God.

    Q&A 41

    Q. Why was he “buried”?

    A. His burial testifies that he really died.

    Q&A 42

    Q. Since Christ has died for us, why do we still have to die?

    A. Our death is not a payment for our sins, but only a dying to sins and an entering into eternal life.

    Q&A 43

    Q. What further benefit do we receive from Christ’s sacrifice and death on the cross?

    A. By his power our old man is crucified, put to death, and buried with him, so that the evil desires of the flesh may no longer rule us, but that instead we may offer ourselves as a sacrifice of thanksgiving to him.

    Q&A 44

    Q. Why does the creed add, “He descended into hell”?

    A. To assure me during attacks of deepest dread and temptation that Christ my Lord, by suffering unspeakable anguish, pain, and terror of soul, on the cross but also earlier, has delivered me from hellish anguish and torment.

    Scripture Reading:
    Romans 6:5-14 King James Version (KJV)

    5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

    From Futility to Fulfillment

    Scripture: Romans 8:18-25 (Read from ESV)

    Preacher: Rev. Gary Findley

    Sermon Outline:

    Introduction

    I. Creator’s Disgust
    II. Creation’s Distress
    III. Children’s Deliverance
    Conclusion

    Scripture Reading:
    Romans 8:18-25 King James Version (KJV)

    18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
