This week Pastor Mel continues our series through the book of Romans, picking up in the second half of Romans chapter 6 where Pastor Kim left off. Using the vivid historical reality of slavery in the Roman Empire — including an actual slave tag discovered in Rome — Mel unpacks Paul's powerful argument that every one of us is a slave to whatever we choose to obey. He walks through what it means to be freed from sin's dominion, why so many believers find themselves returning to old masters, and what it looks like to surrender wholeheartedly to God rather than simply going through the motions of religious duty. It is a challenging and deeply practical message about freedom, identity, and the incredible gift of grace found in Romans 6:23.
