In Ephesians 2 the Holy Spirit gives us two sets of before and after pictures. The first set is taken in portrait mode; the second is taken in landscape mode. But both highlight the difference God’s grace has made for us in Christ. As we look at these before and after pics together in this episode, may the Holy Spirit fill our hearts with joy, worship, and harmony with one another.

In our generation, more than accumulated things, many people are craving special, personal experiences – like the all access pass. Well that is exactly what the Father gives us, through Christ, by the Spirit. “The highest and fullest achievement of the peacemaking Christ is the trinitarian access of the people of God, as through him and by one Spirit we come boldly to our Father,” (John Stott).

After the Lord Jesus was exalted to Heaven, he created something new and wonderful – the Church. And since Christ has torn down the wall of hostility between Jews & Gentiles, we should not be rebuilding walls based on racial and ethnic differences. Have you searched your own heart for this sin lately?

Epehsians 2:11-15

Can produce from the grocery store really make you holy? Well… no. But Romans 6 does teach us about fruit that leads to holiness. Mike & Matthew wrap up their Romans 6 study by reminding us how much better it is to serve God rather than sin.

Which is better at making people holy, grace or law? For Paul it’s no contest—grace wins every time. And in Romans 6:15-19, the apostle gives us 4 grace-based reasons to say no to sin and yes to righteousness: (1) you become a slave of the one you obey; (2) there are only two masters (and one of them is evil); (3) your conversion was a powerful rescue operation in your heart; and (4) don’t you want to put in as much energy serving your new master as you did your old one?

Rom 6:15-19

As Christians we are dead to our old master (Sin) and alive to our new master (God). So why do we still show up at our old workplace? It’s not enough for us to understand the truth of Romans 6:1-10; we also need to count on it. Only as we bank on the truth that we are dead with Christ and alive to God will we consistently offer our skills and capacities to the cause of Christ. Holiness is a project for the whole of us—body, soul, and mind. (We apologize for a few moments of poor sound quality in this episode.)

Just like in an escape room, where you sometimes have to collect several keys in order to unlock the final one, Romans 6 requires you to figure out several puzzling clues before it yields its meaning. But when the meaning of Romans 6 does open up to us, it provides us the key to living the Christian life. Join Mike and Matthew in this escape room episode as they try to figure out four keys to understanding Romans 6 before the 60 minute time limit runs…
