New Master (Romans 6:8-11)

Step 4. For LifeWay’s Explore the Bible lesson “United with Christ” from Romans 6:1-14, Troy Bush writes in the Florida Baptist Witness, “God is the chief agent, providing our redemption. Our sanctification, however, involves God’s divine work uniting us with Christ, and our participation not to let sin reign in our bodies.” Below are a couple of PPT slides I plan to use to help apply the key points in Romans 6:8-11. I plan to discuss the meaty THOUGHT QUESTION in the homework guide for day FOUR.

Also, I’m toying with using the last scene in the movie Fearless in the Introduction to this lesson, or possibly in this step. The movie has a powerful theme where the main character considers himself dead after a plane crash and after saving others in the course of the movie, he asks his wife to save him, which she does in a dramatic way. Very stirring music as well. Emotionally it connects the viewer with the idea of coming alive. Watch it and tell me what you think.
