This message unpacks:
Sin is slavery — It promises freedom but ultimately controls and destroys
Baptism is a transfer of ownership — You were buried with Christ and raised into a new life
Your new life is not your own — You were bought at a price
You are alive to God now — No longer defined by your old life
Real change happens through surrender — Giving every part of your life to God
In Part 1 of this two-week series, Pastor Ryan walks through Romans 6 and what it really means to be buried with Christ in baptism. This isn’t just a symbol or a moment—it’s a turning point. A line in the sand where the old life is left behind.
Some moments divide your life into before and after. That space where something has already happened—but the outcome hasn’t arrived yet. The place where you’re stuck between what was and what will be. Waiting. Wondering. Hoping Sunday actually comes. In John 20, Pastor Ryan walks through three real people—Mary, the disciples, and Thomas—each stuck in their own version of Saturday.
