Stop Managing Sin. Start Killing it. // Romans 6:1-14 - The Rescue

About this episode

Pastor Kyle Mercer discusses the power of sin and the transformative grace of Jesus as outlined in Romans 6:1-14.

Sin isn’t just something you do. It’s a power that tries to rule you. In fact, it’s not just something you do. It’s trying to do something to you. That’s why real change feels so hard. In this message, Pastor Kyle Mercer walks through Romans 6:1-14 and shows that Jesus didn’t just come to forgive your sin. He came to break its power. If you’re in Christ, you are no longer under the reign of sin. Your old self wasn’t improved. It was crucified. The old you didn’t get better. It got buried. And now, through union with Christ, His story becomes your story. This isn’t behavior management. This is transformation. Grace isn’t permission to keep sinning. It’s the power to live a new life. And because of Jesus, sin will not be your master. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same patterns, wondering if real change is possible, this message is for you.
