The Permanence of the New Life
04/05/23 • 28 min
In today’s message, our pastor, Randy Westerberg, preaches from Romans 6:3-4 and explains what it means that we are dead to sin and alive to God. He uses a unique illustration that makes everything very clear. Basically, when a person is made a new creation in Christ, he can no longer go back to his old ways because he has been made new.
This sermon is a comfort to Christians because it assures us of the power and grace of Jesus Christ in our salvation. As I listened to this sermon, I thought of Philippians 1:6 where Paul says,
“I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” And this is true because he has made us a new creation.

Should We Sin That Grace May Abound?
Welcome to Unfamous, the podcast where unfamous pastors preach the fame of God. I’m your host, Cubby Westerberg. Our show is about listening to local, reformed pastors who minister to small congregations, but they faithfully exposit the Word and preach from the Scriptures. These unfamous pastors are unknown to basically everyone but their own congregation, so I want to introduce them to you.
In today’s message, our pastor, Randy Westerberg, preaches from Romans 6:1 and seeks to answer the question: Should we keep sinning so that grace may abound? The answer is no. Even though grace does abound to us in our sin, it doesn’t give us a license to sin. Paul says we should no longer sin because we have died to sin, but what does it mean that we’ve died to sin?
This is the question, but instead of hearing what it means, today, we learn what it doesn’t mean.
This sermon is part 1 of 2 in a two-part series, where we learn about the boundless grace of God and what it means that we have died to sin.

How to Disagree and Agree for the Glory of God
Welcome to Unfamous, the podcast where unfamous pastors preach the fame of God. I’m your host, Cubby Westerberg. Our show is about listening to local, reformed pastors who minister to small congregations, but they faithfully exposit the Word and preach from the Scriptures. These unfamous pastors are unknown to basically everyone but their own congregation, so I want to introduce them to you.
In today’s message, we get to hear from a very special guest, who has visited and ministered to our church a number of times over the years. His name is Stuart Scott. He is not quite unfamous because he has written books and spoken around the country, but he blessed our church with this message, so I want to share it with you today.
He is a part of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, and he is a professor at Bob Jones University. He has taught at Southern Seminary as well as Master’s Seminary. His insight and wisdom in biblical counseling is second to none.
He preached this sermon at our church a few years ago on a Sunday after one of our conference weekends. Every year, Cross Pointe hosts a conference on biblical counseling that trains Christians, not just pastors, how to help one another through the difficult problems of life.
If you enjoy this message, I encourage you to check out our conference. It’s coming up this September, October, and November of 2023.
Dr. Scott’s message today shares how we as Christians can grow in unity.
