Summary

When we place our faith in Christ, we have been united with Christ. By remembering our identity in Christ, we can put sin to death through the power of the Holy Spirit and become more mature in Christ.

Key Takeaways:

Because we have been united with Christ:

  1. We are to put sexual sin to death (Colossians 3:5-6)
  2. We are to put away sinful speech (Colossians 3:7-10)

Discussing and Applying the Sermon

  • Is there any sexual sin that has been in the dark that needs to be brought into the light? If so, ask God for strength to confess and to tell at least one person today.
  • Is there anyone you have sinned against with your speech that you need to seek forgiveness from? Ask God for wisdom and boldness to seek forgiveness.
  • Is there any sin from your past that Christ has already healed you from, but you still allow shame to linger? Ask God to remind you of the gospel and the grace you have been given through Christ.
  • Is God asking you to take a next step at Watermark? This may include joining re:generation, reIengage, or seeking community. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you.
