Rethinking Freedom | Romans 6:15-23 | 03/05/26 | Matt Chapman What if true freedom isn’t the ability to do whatever we want? This passage challenges the idea that grace gives us freedom to go on sinning, and shows instead that real freedom is being set free from sin’s rule to live for God.

Dominion of Grace | Romans 6:12-14 | 26/04/26 | Peter Bowley What does it look like to live as those who are no longer ruled by sin? This sermon helps us see how grace empowers real change, calling us to resist sin’s rule and offer our lives to God.

You Have Died | Romans 6:1-11 | 19/04/26 | Matt Chapman If grace is so abundant, should we keep sinning? Paul’s answer takes us deeper: in Christ, we’ve been united to him in his death and resurrection. This sermon helps us see that the Christian life isn’t about trying harder, but living out who we already are in Christ.

In Adam or in Christ | Romans 5:12-21 | 12/04/26 | Matt Chapman Why does death reign—and why does the world feel so broken? This passage shows that our greatest problem isn’t just what we’ve done, but who we belong to. We’re either in Adam or in Christ—and everything depends on which.
