We Speak Real Life

2026 THEME: Still the ONE!

SERIES THEME: There’s No Place like Home

Title: We Speak Real Life

Romans 6:11-23

I. DESIGNATING THE DIFFERENCE

“To Lead People to Jesus” became “We Speak Safe Place”
“The Gospel is Preached” became “We Speak Truth”
“Jesus in Honored” became “We Speak Jesus”
“Grace is Offered” became “We Speak Fresh Starts”
“Lives are Changed” became “We Speak Changed Lives”
“Obedience is Encouraged” became “We Speak Real Life”

II. DESIGNING OUR HOME

We are in a battle between 2 factions:

      1. (Legalism)- a list of rules and regulations
      2. (Grace)- Unmerited and undeserved favor

After reading and studying verses 15-23, what does a family do?

      1. People need to know (they are cared about). “People don’t care how much you know
        until they know how much you care.”
      2. Caring for people is (hard work).
      3. The purpose for caring is to point people to the (True Shepherd) and not the (church).
      4. No sorrow should ever be (carried) or (suffered alone).
      5. Family (prays) for each other.
