Homiletics - Romans 6

Contents ( not sentence, direct verbiage from Scripture ):   Where?                                                                 Who? 1 1-5 Shall we go on sinning that grace may increase? No.   Those who died to sin, how can we live in it?   Don’t you know all baptized into Christ baptized into His death?   We buried w/Him in order that as Christ raised from dead, we too live new life; we united w/Him in death, we certainly united in resurrection. 2 6-11 Our old self crucified w/Him so we no longer slaves to sin bec anyone who died =free from sin;   if we died w/Christ, we believe we live w/Him; since Christ raised, he cannot die again; He died once for all, He lives to God; in same way, count selves dead to sin, alive to God in Christ. 3 12-13 Do not let sin reign in your body so you obey evil; do not offer self as instrument of wickedness, offer selves to God as those brought

No Way Up by Mary Connealy After ranch patriarch Chance Boden is wounded in an accident, he demands that the conditions of his will go into effect immediately: His children must reconcile and live at home for a full year or forfeit the ranch. He trusts hired hand Heath Kincaid to see it done. But when Heath suspects foul play, his desire to protect Chance’s daughter goes beyond duty. Here's my review of this western adventure: First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Mary Connealy and her publisher for sending me a copy of "No Way Up" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me. “No Way Up” is the mildly suspenseful kickoff to the new Cimarron Legacy series by Mary Connealy.   Just like Mary Connealy’s other books, “No Way Up” is filled with likeable characters, humor, action, romance and an amazing western landscape.   And

Much, 1 st , entrusted w/very words of G. 2 3:3-4 What if some not have faith, will lack nullify G’s faithfulness?   No. 3 3:5-6 If our unrighteousness brings out G’s righteousness, shall we say G unjust in bringing wrath? No.   If so, how G judge world? 4 3:7-8 “If my falsehood enhances G’s truthfulness/increases glory, why I condemned?”   Some claim we say: let’s do evil that good result; condemnation deserved. 5 3:9-12 We better? No, Jews and Gents all under sin, no one righteous/understands/seeks G; all turned away, bec worthless, no one does good. 6 3:13-18 Throats=open graves; tongues practice deceit, vip
