August 31, 2025 Sermon Notes

Welcome to GracePoint Church! Our purpose is to connect real people to the real God, and we believe studying the Bible is one of the best ways to do that. We are currently working through Romans 5-8 here at GracePoint. Today’s sermon focuses on an important question: If we are saved by grace alone, why should we stop sinning? The answer has to do with the incompatibility of sin with our new identity in Christ. To put it simply, if we are saved by grace through faith in Christ, sin doesn’t fit us anymore. This sermon explores this answer and applies it to how we think about ourselves in our every day lives. We hope the Lord speaks to you in His Word.
