Read the Weekend Program

I have a death certificate. I hope you have one too. If you don’t have a death certificate, then you will not be the kind of Christ follower that God is counting on.

In Romans 6, Paul is telling us that we have been forgetful. We have forgotten that when we became a Christian, we died to our past and died to our sin. What do you do with dead things? You bury them!!

Remember when you got baptized? That baptismal tank was a tomb, and when you went under the water, you died! But you didn’t stay buried—you came up from the water a new person to live a new life.

Sometimes we need to be reminded.
