In this second part of Romans 6, Pastor Dave lays out in 5 practical steps how we defeat sin. The steps include knowing our position in Christ and then responding to that position. The steps are: 1. You are justified by faith. 2. You died with Christ and rose with Him to new life. 3. So consider yourselves dead to sin. 4. Do not let sin reign in your members. 5. Give yourself to God and your members to righteousness.

Part Three of Romans is about living the Christian life. So far we have looked at condemnation and justification. Today we start sanctification. Sanctification is God's work of making us more like Christ. This week's message starts with: "Why we should not jump ahead to the application of Paul's books without first understanding the theological foundation?"

Speaker: Pastor Dave Barber | Series: RiverValley Church | This Easter we are celebrating via the internet. Our theme is Jesus' victory over death. In this Easter message we see that death is unnatural. We weren't created to die so this whole aging thing feels quite unnatural. Jesus comes on the scene and defeats death by His resurrection, and at His return promises to destroy death once and for all. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” Rev.21:4

Speaker: Pastor Dave Barber | Series: Romans: Gospel-Rooted Living | The results of Adam and Eve's disobedience have reached through the centuries. Two of those consequences are a broken relationship with God and the decay and death of all creation. Romans 8 says that all of creation was subjected to the curse unwillingly, but with hope. Things like the coronavirus are results of that curse and the decay of creation. In both cases the Gospel brings solid hope.
