Reel Theology: The Bourne Ultimatum

Here is my (Ryan's) sermon from April 13. The scripture passage we surveyed was Romans 6:1-5.



The two resources that helped me bring this sermon together:

1. Tim Keller: "All of Life is Repentance."
2. John Piper: "Gutsy Gilt."

Both Keller and Piper helped me understand that the life removed from sin is not one that is perfect, but is, rather, motivated by the truth. It is the truth that Christ has saved you and that you now no longer stand condemned that helps you down the path of holiness and sanctification. John Stott understands your dying to sin as being released from the guilt of sin. Though I would go a bit further and say you are no longer under the power of your sinful nature, his point is a good one.
