SERMON NOTES

I. Death always follows close behind sin.

II. It's not our DO, it's our WHO.

III. We have a new self. Not just trying harder, but to live out what is already true of you.

FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION

- In your life right now, do you identify more with a caterpillar, chrysalis, or butterfly? Why?

- Romans 5:18-19 describes how the sin of one man infected us all. What does it describe as God's solution?

- How does the life of Jesus disprove the notion that if we just do good things, then good things will happen to us?

- Why is "Who will rescue me?" a good question to ask when we're struggling?

- Where are you most tempted to believe the lie that God wants you to perform for Him?

- What is one aspect in your life where Jesus is putting an arm around you and saying, "Let's work on that together?"
