350: A New Identity

In Romans 6, Paul answers one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: Who am I in Christ? Many believers continue to struggle with the weight of their past, allowing old failures, sins, and labels to shape their identity. But Paul presents a different story. Through baptism, believers are united with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection. The old self has been crucified, sin is no longer the master, a new life has begun. In This Episode: • Why grace is not a license to continue in sin • The significance of baptism in Romans 6 • What it means to die and rise with Christ • Freedom from sin's dominion • Living out your new identity as God's redeemed people Scripture: Romans 6:1-14 Episode Notes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hf8lY6y92UQs6HKcaAZ_VNlXnb15b2an/view?usp=sharing [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hf8lY6y92UQs6HKcaAZ_VNlXnb15b2an/view?usp=sharing] Connect with SimplyRevised: Newsletter: https://the-simplyrevised-podcast-6tzkdm.subscribepage.io/ [https://the-simplyrevised-podcast-6tzkdm.subscribepage.io/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/simplyrevised.org/ [https://www.facebook.com/simplyrevised.org/] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@simplyrevised [https://www.youtube.com/@simplyrevised] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simplyrevised/ [https://www.instagram.com/simplyrevised/] Support: Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/simplyrevised [https://buymeacoffee.com/simplyrevised]

349: Discovering Life

Welcome to the SimplyRevised Podcast. This is a podcast to encourage, equip grow, and strengthen our faith in the Lord. During this season, I plan to share lessons with from our Sunday morning series at Southbelt Church of Christ. In this episode we are starting a 6 week series from Paul's letter to the Romans. Have you ever noticed how many people are searching for something more? We live in a world full of questions about purpose, identity, hope, and truth. People are looking for meaning, looking for direction, and often wondering if there's something bigger than themselves. Romans, as some have described, could be Paul's greatest letter. It's both challenging, and incredibly relevant because it speaks directly into the kinds of questions people are still asking today. In this first lesson, we are starting where Paul starts, with the gospel — the power of God for salvation. Central to Romans is an announcement. It's the good news that Jesus is Lord.

348: Being Formed

At different moments in life, we pause to reflect on how we are being shaped. We think about what is forming us, what is influencing our decisions, and what kind of people we are becoming. Scripture consistently calls God's people to pay attention to formation. As we explore God's Word, we consistently find three practices that have formed the people who follow Jesus. Prayer, Scripture, and Community. support: https://buymeacoffee.com/simplyrevised [https://buymeacoffee.com/simplyrevised] online: https://www.simplyrevised.org [https://www.simplyrevised.org]

347 Love

Love is a word often used in our culture. We love our friends, pizza, our families, and we love the Lord. Love can be used in many different ways. What do the Scriptures teach us about God and His love?

346 Hope

We can all use hope. Most of us have lived through seasons marked by anxiety, fear, uncertainty, or loss. Sometimes those seasons are loud and overwhelming. Other times they are quiet, lingering beneath the surface. And in moments like that, hope can feel uncertain, thin, or distant. When the Bible talks about hope, it is not talking about wishful thinking or crossing our fingers. Scripture speaks of hope as something solid, grounded, and deeply rooted in who God is and what God has done.
