Romans: Getting Victory Over Sin...the Process of Sanctification

This sermon centers on Romans chapter 6 and how Christians can overcome sin in their lives. The sermon's core message emphasizes that while believers are dead to sin through Christ, they must actively participate in the process of sanctification to experience victory. Pastor Debbie Courtney uses the analogy of CPR to illustrate how easily we revive our "old sin nature" and provides three key commands from Romans 6 to combat this: know the truth of God’s Word over feelings, reckon ourselves dead to sin and alive in Christ, and yield to the Holy Spirit by presenting ourselves as instruments of righteousness. Ultimately, the sermon encourages believers to move from a state of sinfulness to one of "sinning less" as we grow in Christ.
