The document discusses living by faith and above the line spiritual truths. It presents four spiritual truths: 1) Jesus died and rose again, 2) I died and rose again with Jesus, 3) I am now a new creation in Christ, and 4) Jesus is in me and I am in Him. It questions whether these truths are truly believed. It then discusses how believing that I died and rose with Jesus means I am freed from sin and should no longer be enslaved to it or let it reign, but instead offer myself to God and use my body for righteousness. It encourages talking about what it means to be dead to sin and why it's hard to believe being spiritually dead, and what happens if that truth

This document provides an overview and questions for a lesson on "Learning and Living the God-centered life" based on key doctrines from Romans such as justification, regeneration, and resurrection. It discusses how Romans transitions from explaining that all men are under sin to outlining salvation through justification by faith in Christ. Key points made include that doctrine must precede application, believing correctly comes before behaving correctly, and the imperatives in Romans 6 exhort believers to live consistently with their new identity and freedom in Christ.
The document discusses the Gospel of Jesus Christ and salvation through faith alone. It explains that the Gospel is God's power to save all who believe, both Jews and Gentiles. It emphasizes that faith without works is dead, and that true faith will be demonstrated through obedience to God and love for others.
This document discusses living a life devoted to God through Jesus Christ rather than being devoted to sin. It notes that through faith in Jesus we have died to sin and been made alive in Him, and should therefore live our lives unto God rather than yielding to sin. It encourages yielding our bodies as instruments of righteousness to serve God rather than committing unrighteous acts or allowing sin to have power over us. The end result of living for God is holiness and eternal life, whereas living for sin leads to shame, death, and separation from God.
Romans 8 discusses how there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. The law was powerless to save people from sin and death because it was weakened by human flesh. However, God sent his son Jesus, who lived in human flesh yet was without sin, and condemned sin in the flesh through his sacrifice. By believing in Jesus, Christians are no longer bound by the condemnation and power of sin but are made righteous through the spirit.
The document provides an overview of a church lesson on practical Christian living based on doctrines like justification, regeneration, and resurrection. It poses a series of questions and outlines Romans 6, noting that it divides into two sections about being a new person in Christ and being freed from sin and enslaved to righteousness. The questions explore how Paul writes Romans and why he needed to write chapter 6, to address those who take grace too far and think they can sin freely, and those focused on works of the law. Key terms in Romans 6 like "died to sin" are explained to refer to Christians passing from Adam's realm of sin and death into Christ's realm of righteousness and life.

This document summarizes a sermon about standing firm in the freedom that Christ has given us. The sermon discusses how Christ has freed us from slavery to sin by his sacrifice. It warns against allowing past persuasions to hinder our obedience to the truth. While we have been called to liberty, our freedom is not a license to indulge the flesh but should be used to serve one another through love. The sermon encourages remaining faithful to avoid penalties, and finding rest by taking Christ's yoke upon us.
The document discusses obeying God's commands even when the reasons are unclear. It notes that the Israelites built the tabernacle as God instructed, and were blessed as a result. It encourages believers to trust God's leadership, accept Jesus as savior, and live according to Scripture in order to experience God's blessings and be freed from sin's power and destruction.
This document discusses how people who reject God and claim to be wise instead become fools. It notes how God has revealed himself through creation, but some deny this and instead worship idols. Living according to God's word through obedience and faith brings life, peace and blessings, while rejecting God leaves one with a darkened heart and empty life. The conclusion exhorts the reader to fear God by keeping his commandments and coming to Christ, who gives rest.
The document discusses how to be free from condemnation. It begins by referencing scripture from Romans 8:1 that says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. It then exposes six common lies of condemnation, such as thinking Jesus can't use you if you have weaknesses or that your past mistakes disqualify you. The rest of the document provides seven steps to be free from condemnation, such as distinguishing conviction from the devil versus God, setting your mind on what the Spirit desires, and living life on God's terms through pursuing intimacy with Him. It encourages living with joy as the serious work of heaven.

This document discusses making God the center of one's life and putting Him in control. It says that everything else in life, such as music, habits, work, etc. are gifts from God and pale in comparison to Him. It emphasizes that growth in following God is a process that involves making choices over time to serve and obey Him rather than our own desires or the ways of the world. The key is choosing each day to study God's word, pray to Him, listen to and obey Him, and keep going when we fail by asking forgiveness.
The document is a sermon from the Rossville Church discussing several biblical passages about bearing with one another, pleasing God rather than ourselves, and following Christ's example of humility and service.

It also contains an invitation to accept Christ and explains the meaning of water baptism.
The document discusses how baptism truly changes everything. It summarizes that through baptism we are changed into Jesus' image as we are transformed to be conformed to his likeness. Baptism changes our relationships, attitudes, and directions in life as we become new creations in Christ, putting on Christ and putting off our old sinful nature.

This document discusses how Christians can renew their minds through the transforming power of God. It encourages abstaining from fleshly lusts and focusing instead on living according to the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace and more. Christians are called to be citizens of heaven while living as strangers on earth, and to let their good works point others to God rather than conforming to worldly ways. Renewing the mind involves setting it on pure and lovely things, walking by the Spirit rather than fulfilling fleshly desires, and allowing one's soul to prosper through following the Spirit rather than human nature.

This document discusses how through baptism and faith in Jesus Christ, believers die to their old sinful selves and are made alive as new creations. It explains that believers have been freed from sin and enslavement to the law so that they can now live holy lives empowered by God's grace and Spirit. The wages of sin is death but through Jesus believers can have eternal life.
The document contains several passages from the Bible that use the phrase "Do you not know?" Each passage is highlighting something that Christians should understand, such as being baptized into Christ's death, being slaves either to sin or righteousness, and that friendship with the world is against God. The overall message is that Christians are expected to know and understand these fundamental truths revealed in scripture.
The document discusses the distinction between sins and sin based on passages from Romans and Galatians. It states that while God readily forgives sins or acts of disobedience, sin refers to our sinful nature which God cannot forgive. True salvation requires dying to sin and being born again of the Spirit so that the old sinful self is crucified and we live a new life in Christ. Feelings do not determine faith, which must be exercised through obedience to God's will.
1) The document discusses passages from Romans 6 that address how grace abounds even more when sin increases. It notes that grace forgives all sins, overcomes the consequences of sin, and defeats death through eternal life in Jesus.
2) Through baptism, Christians die to sin like Jesus died to sin once and forever. This allows them to be raised as a new creation no longer ruled by sin but living for God.
3) While believers may still sin at times, God's grace is always sufficient. The document examines what it means to be "under grace" rather than "under law," and how obedience to God is expected of those who have received His gift of grace and salvation.

Foundation Stone #10: Resurrection of the Dead - SpirituallyRick Bruderick
Every person is born dead - spiritually. When we realize it, we have an opportunity to start over, to be born again.
This is the 12th lesson in this Foundations of Christianity series.
John 3:1-5. A New Life In Christ. In the new life we have been born again. In the new life we are a new creation. In the new life we crucify the flesh with its passions and desires. In the new life we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. In the new life we are renewed by the Holy Spirit. In the new life we are dead to sin but alive to God. In the new life we are washed from our sins. in the new life we put to death the old man and put on the new man. In the new life we died and our life is hidden with Christ in God. In the new life we were brought back from death in sin.
This document contains a summary of Romans 6:1-14. It discusses how believers who have been united with Christ through baptism should no longer allow sin to control them like it once did. Just as Christ was raised from the dead, believers can now live new lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. Believers have been freed from sin and should not present their bodies to sin, but rather live for God's righteousness under grace, not law. The power of sin no longer has dominion over those who are in Christ.

This document provides a summary and commentary of Romans 6. It begins with an introduction noting the biblical translations used. The main points are then summarized in 3 sentences:
1) Romans 6 discusses whether Christians should continue sinning since grace abounds, answering that since we died to sin, we should no longer live in it.
2) It explains that through baptism we are united with Christ in his death and resurrection, and should now live new lives free from sin's power.
3) The chapter concludes by urging readers to present themselves to God as instruments of righteousness rather than sin, since they are now under grace rather than law.
The document discusses how true believers must die to sin and self through baptism and crucifixion of the flesh, just as Christ died and was resurrected. It emphasizes that feeling and faith are distinct, and we must exercise faith in God's word rather than relying on feelings. True victory over sin comes through fully surrendering one's life and crucifying the flesh, allowing the Holy Spirit to work inwardly and manifest outwardly in conduct that witnesses to Christ.
This document provides an overview and summary of Romans 6:1-14. It begins by asking whether continuing in sin after being saved by grace allows grace to increase. It answers that those who have died with Christ through baptism should now live for God. It discusses how believers have been freed from sin and should no longer be enslaved by it. The power of sin can attempt to control believers, but through Christ they have power over sin and are under grace, not law.
This sermon discusses how true Christians no longer desire to sin after being born again by the Holy Spirit. It argues that while Christians can choose to sin, sin no longer has power over them. It encourages believers to walk in obedience to God in order to experience blessing and have confidence in their salvation.
The War Within: Spiritual Warfare (Part V)David Turner
The document discusses the battle between the flesh and spirit within Christians. It notes that while Christians still sin due to their fleshly nature, the spirit has conquered through Christ. The spirit provides victory over sin for those who walk by it rather than their flesh. Christians now have freedom and can please God by living according to the spirit and its fruit, rather than the desires of the flesh. The spirit within believers gives them life and power to overcome their sinful flesh.
The document provides an overview of the book of Romans from the New Testament. It discusses key topics that Paul addresses such as salvation only coming through faith in God, the universality of sin, and how all are judged according to God's law. It also summarizes Romans' teachings on grace, predestination, struggling against sin and flesh, and sharing the gift of salvation with others through using spiritual gifts and not judging others.

The document provides an overview and discussion of the book of Romans from the New Testament. It notes that Romans was written by the Apostle Paul around 56-57 AD to answer questions about salvation, predestination, God's sovereignty, and spiritual growth. Key points include that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory; salvation comes only through faith in God's righteousness; and believers should present their bodies as living sacrifices through holiness and transformed minds rather than conforming to the world.

Jesus has been called the "Great Physician." We think of His miracles of healing. But those miracles of healing our physical bodies point to a far greater miracle--the healing of our heart and soul. He doesn't just mean physical life and death. He points to something greater--spiritual life and death, both in this world and the next.

What christ offers, what we offer p 1 seth gatchell november 22 2020Pacific Church
Beneath people's veneer are hidden questions. "Do I matter? Do I matter to anyone? Does someone really care about me?" People hunger and thirst for real "life," that sense of satisfaction that comes from being deeply connected with God and others. That is what Christ offers us, and He offers this real "life" through us to others! What we all want to know, is how does this happen?
The document discusses issues people have with the Bible and argues for its authority and trustworthiness. It notes that Jesus viewed the Bible as a story that reaches its climax in his life, and that he considered it trustworthy and authoritative. The document argues that Jesus is the ultimate authority, but that he mediates his authority through scripture, so obeying the Bible means obeying Jesus.
Jeremiah lamented over his people, weeping for their unfaithfulness and the destruction that would come. As the prophet of God, he faced opposition and persecution for delivering messages of judgment. He proclaimed that Jerusalem would fall to Babylon due to their sins. Still, God expressed tender compassion for Israel and a hope that they would one day return to Him.

In this secular way of thinking, gender is something that one feels or identifies as. This is like leaving a great sailing ship on the high seas without sails and a rudder. It will be carried along wherever the current wishes, adrift on the open seas. The unintended consequences of this thinking is to create greater confusion for young people who already struggle with their gender and confusing feelings of their identity, but there is a wondrous design to complementary gender that seeks to build intimacy in a marriage, deeper relationships with people, and reflects the wonder of our Trinitarian God.
Our biblical worldview part 6 seth g october 11 2020Pacific Church
What does the bible say about marriage? Up until 15-20 years ago this was not a "controversial" topic. Everyone knew the answer. Our secular culture continues to send its tsunami waves at our Judeo-Christian heritage, causing great confusion. How are we to think about same-sex marriage? What does the bible say? Before we address those questions we will spend time reviewing what makes a marriage a biblical marriage.
As we continue our conversation on a Christian worldview, specifically as it deals with thinking through this upcoming election we are diving deeper and deeper into different issues. This week we are looking at the sanctity of life. What it means to be made in the image of God, to have value, and to be worthy of life, no matter what stage of life you are in.
A Biblical Worldview - The Role of GovernmentPacific Church
Our task is to always learn God's eternal truths and apply them to our lives. This includes how God views government. What does the bible say about government?
How do the bible's stories illustrate the truth or foolishness of how government is done? How do we apply the biblical truths in our country? This requires wisdom, discernment, humility and what the Bible calls "good sense."
Connecting with your church part 5 seth g march 15 2020Pacific Church
We are a worshiping community. In that community our joys are magnified, and our sorrows shared. Unity, the experience of community that worships God together, serves together, loves together, and shares common purposes provides joy for the heart that cannot be found in isolation. We'll find five examples in the Psalms of Assent that illustrate our need for community and the opportunities community provides in a difficult world.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Romans 6 - Dealing with Sin: Alive and Free
1. ROMANS - God's Surprising Remedy
DEALING WITH SIN: ALIVE AND FREE
2. DEATH AND LIFE
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we
to continue in sin that grace may abound?
3. DEATH AND LIFE
2 By no means! How can we who died to sin
still live in it?
4. DEATH AND LIFE
3 Do you not know that all of us who have
been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized
into his death?
5. DEATH AND LIFE
4 We were buried therefore with him by
baptism into death, so that as Christ was
raised from the dead by the glory of the
Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
6. DEATH AND LIFE
6 We know that our old self was crucified with
him so that the sinful body might be
destroyed,
7. SLAVERY AND FREEDOM
Romans 6:6 We know that our old self was
crucified with him so that the sinful body
might be destroyed, and we might no longer
be enslaved to sin.
9. SLAVERY AND FREEDOM
8 But if we have died with Christ, we believe
that we shall also live with him.
10. SLAVERY AND FREEDOM
9 For we know that Christ being raised from
the dead will never die again; death no longer
has dominion over him. 10 The death he died
he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives
he lives to God.
11. NO LONGER DEAD IN SIN
Romans 6:11 So you also must consider
yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in
Christ Jesus.
12. NO LONGER DEAD IN SIN
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal
bodies, to make you obey their passions.
13. NO LONGER DEAD IN SIN
13 Do not yield your members to sin as
instruments of wickedness, but yield
yourselves to God as men who have been
brought from death to life, and your members
to God as instruments of righteousness.
14. NO LONGER DEAD IN SIN
14 For sin will have no dominion over you,
since you are not under law but under grace.
15. NO LONGER SLAVES
Romans 6:15 What then? Are we to sin
because we are not under law but under
grace? By no means!
16. NO LONGER SLAVES
16 Do you not know that if you yield yourselves
to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of
the one whom you obey, either of sin, which
leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to
righteousness?!
17. NO LONGER SLAVES
17 But thanks be to God, that you who were
once slaves of sin have become obedient from
the heart to the standard of teaching to which
you were committed,
18. NO LONGER SLAVES
18 and, having been set free from sin, have
become slaves of righteousness.
19. NO LONGER SLAVES
19 I am speaking in human terms, because of
your natural limitations. For just as you once
yielded your members to impurity and to
greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your
members to righteousness for sanctification.
20. NOW FREED
Romans 6:20 When you were slaves of sin, you
were free in regard to righteousness
21. NOW FREED
21 But then what return did you get from the
things of which you are now ashamed? The
end of those things is death.
22. Sin will always take you farther than you want
to go, cost you more than you want to pay, and
keep you longer than you want to stay.
23. NOW ALIVE
Romans 6:22 But now that you have been set
free from sin and have become slaves of God,
the return you get is sanctification and its end,
eternal life.
24. NOW ALIVE
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free
gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
