Romans 6

Pastor Marshall Ochs | FEBRUARY 8, 2026

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 6. In this chapter, Paul teaches that God’s grace is not permission to continue sinning but the power to live a new life, because believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection and are therefore “dead to sin” and alive to God. Paul explains that Christians are no longer slaves to sin but are now called to live in obedience and righteousness, using the truth of their identity in Christ—especially verses like Romans 6:11—as a practical weapon against temptation.
