Opening Question / Icebreaker:

• In addition to your baptism by immersion, what are some other spiritually significant events from your life?         

Pray Together  

Read Romans 6:1-14. https://www.esv.org/Romans+6/

Observation & Interpretation Questions:

• Paul mentions death 15 times in this passage.  How does Christ’s death and resurrection tie into our relationship with sin? 

• What would it look like to live out verse 11 when Paul says, “count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God”? 

• What is one specific thing you could do this week to count yourself dead to sin and alive to Christ? 

• What does it mean to practice the teachings of vs. 11-13?  What is the motivation?

• Describe the freedom that exists from the truth of verse 14. 

Application Questions:

• What do you do when you hear voices from your former life (in sin), as do these believers? 

• If you could bury one thing with Christ forever, what would it be? 

Close in Prayer:

• Pray for each other. 

Closing Activity:

• Hopefully you’ve made plan to link up as a group in December.  If so, finalize those plans and make sure everyone knows what is happening.
