It means our old self is crucified, freeing us from sin’s dominion, and we share in Christ’s resurrection life, called to live each day in His power rather than in sin.

This Sunday at Redeemer, we turn our attention to Romans 6:5–11, where the Apostle Paul develops the idea of union with Christ’s death and resurrection. We’re not simply forgiven; we’re spiritually “grown together” with Jesus (Romans 6:5). Our old self is crucified with Him, breaking sin’s authority, and we share in His resurrection life, freeing us to “consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God” (v. 11). This powerful truth goes beyond mere head knowledge: it calls us to a transformed, hope-filled walk, fueled by Christ’s finished work. Join us as we discover how trusting in our union with Jesus reshapes our daily battle against sin and empowers us to live for God.
