Romans 6:15-23

7/6/25
None of us desire to intentionally make our life worse. We all want to grow and progress. The fastest growing category in publishing today is self-help / personal development. We’re all looking for answers to improve our lives. However, from our passage today, we will be challenged to consider that something is always ruling our desires. When sin becomes our master, it will lead us to death. When obedience to God is our master, we are led to life. Therefore, everything we are truly searching for in life is found on the other side of surrendered obedience to Jesus.

  1. Master of My Desires (v. 15-16)
