This Week | May 17 – 23, 2024
May 19 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 6:12-14, Part 17: Living in Victory – Pastor Mark Pospisil
Synopsis: Every person is in a battle with sin. We all struggle with temptations and the allure of sin. It is essential for us to remember that we have been given a new identity and life through Jesus. We have God’s power to overcome and the Lord will not let us be tempted beyond what we can handle. Romans 6 shows how to fight against sin and live in victory. We are no longer slaves but have been set free. The gospel of Christ gives us power over sin and liberates us to be truly human. Romans 6 also shows us so many practical ways to walk in freedom and become more like Jesus.
Fighter Verse: Romans 6:13 – “Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.”

What’s Happening?
BAPTISM | JUNE 9
Baptism is the natural next step once we are saved! It represents the new life that Jesus’ resurrection gives us and is a public sign of our faith in Christ. If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, we invite you to take this opportunity to demonstrate your faith in Christ.
We will have an opportunity to get baptized during both services on this Sunday. Please fill out this form to let me know you are interested in getting baptized!
