In Romans 6:17 Paul says that the believer has been committed to “the standard of teaching.” In this message we examine what Paul means by this and in doing so we learn how God shapes and molds us into the likeness of Christ.

The passages of Scripture are not put together willy-nilly, there is a divine order and we do good to pay attention to it. Overcoming sin in the Christian life requires an active contemplation of what God has done to us. He has set us free to become slaves; slaves of righteousness.

If you are a true believer then you received a bundle. This bundle includes a death, new life, and empowerment to live out this new life. In this message, Rick explores this bundle showing that, in Christ, we really have the resources to overcome our sin and worldliness and live lives that are increasingly Christlike.

Life can be difficult but God has not left us without hope! Listen and learn how Psalm 62 provides hope for those in the midst of life's most difficult trials.

We live in a day where doctrine is considered unimportant, divisive, and in some cases to be avoided. But sound doctrine is essential in overcoming sin in our lives. In this message, Rick demonstrates the importance of doctrine and then looks at the doctrinal consideration of Romans 6:6, namely, that the believer is no longer enslaved to sin.

Romans 6 teaches us that the true believer is united or with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. In this message, Rick begins to discuss how this “withness” empowers us to walk in newness of life.

Paul begins Romans 6 by asking, “Shall we go on sinning that grace may abound?” After answering emphatically in the negative, Paul begins to explain why. In this message, Rick begins to expound upon Paul’s explanation with a call to think, ponder, and reflect on what God has done to every believer. In short, reckon yourself dead to sin.

If God’s grace is greater than our sin. And if where sin increased grace abounded all the more. Shall we continue to sin that God’s grace would abound even further? In this message Rick discusses Paul’s answer to this question looking at the role of the law in the believer’s life.

As we come to the end of our discussion of Romans 5 we come to the very heart of the gospel. In this message Rick takes up the glorious news that God’s grace is greater than our sin.

In Romans 5:12-21 Paul makes reference to two historical events that changed everything. In this message, Rick develops how each of us have been affected by these events.
