Sermon Study Questions
Romans 6:4; Ephesians 4:25-32
Purpose: To challenge us to seek a deeper level of commitment to spiritual intimacy with the Lord Jesus.
The Christian baptism is a symbol of our faith in Jesus Christ. When we are baptized we identify with the death and the resurrection of Jesus. Just as Jesus rose from the grave to demonstrate for us the fact that our walk with God does not end when this life ends. To walk in newness we must allow the Spirit to guide us in the vital areas of our lives. But life is so broad, where should we start? Where do we need help the most? The answer is in the text so let’s turn to the text to discover where we need to seek help from God in order to life our lives in a new way!
