You Have to Serve Somebody
You Gotta Serve Somebody | Romans 6:15–23
What does it really mean to be free?
In Romans 6, the Apostle Paul confronts one of the most common misunderstandings about grace: if we're forgiven, does it matter how we live? His answer is clear—by no means.
In this message, Pastor Zach Terry explains that every person serves a master. The question isn't whether you'll serve someone, but who you'll serve. Sin promises freedom but always leads to slavery and death. Christ offers a different kind of freedom: the freedom that comes from belonging to Him.
Drawing from Romans 6, this sermon explores:
- Why grace is never permission to sin
- The difference between justification and sanctification
- How our obedience reveals who our true master is
- Why real freedom is found in serving Christ
- The contrast between the wages of sin and the gift of eternal life
No one is truly independent. As Bob Dylan famously wrote, "You're gonna have to serve somebody." The good news of the gospel is that the Master who calls us also loves us, transforms us, and gives us life.
