As we come before our King in worship this Lord’s Day, our sermon passage will be taken from Romans 6:3-6.  I would encourage you to get familiar with that entire section of Romans (which runs from 6:1-13) in preparation for our study.

As you will remember, the subject under consideration is ‘The Curious Paradoxes of Our New Identity in Christ.’  And this Sunday we will prayerfully reflect upon the fact that in Christ, we are simultaneously ‘Alive and Crucified.’  That is, something about us is now dead, having been crucified with Christ.  But we are also very much alive.  Yet, how could this be? And in what way, and in what sense, are we both alive and crucified?

As this strange paradox unfolds before us, we will come to recognize the amazing challenges and eternal blessings of being both alive and dead!  I can’t wait to open our Father’s Word with each of you this Sunday!
