April 12 - BAPTISM SUNDAY

4/13/2026

 

Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ!

Icebreaker
What’s something you thought was finished or “over”… but somehow kept showing back up in your life?
Study Questions
  1. In Romans 6:1–2, Paul asks, “Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?” Why do you think some people might think that way, and how does Paul respond?
  2. According to Romans 6:3–5, what does baptism represent about our relationship with Jesus? What stands out to you about being “united with” Him?
  3. In verses 6–7, what does Paul say has happened to our “old self”? What does it mean that we are “no longer slaves to sin”?
  4. How do verses 8–10 describe Jesus’ relationship to sin and death now? What does that imply about our new life in Him?
  5. What do you think Paul means when he says we should “live a new life” (v. 4)? What might that have looked like for the Romans?
Application Questions
  1. What is one lie, habit, or part of your “old self” that still tries to define you today? What would it look like to say, “That version of me is dead”?
  2. How does remembering your baptism (or thinking about being baptized) change the way you see yourself today?
  3. Where is one area of your life where you sense God inviting you to “live like someone who’s alive” this week?
  4. If you have not been baptized, what questions or hesitations do you have about taking that step? If you have been baptized, how can you continue to live out what your baptism represents?
Prayer
Ask God to help you see yourself as dead to sin and alive in Christ, and to give you the strength to walk in that new life each day. Pray for one another to experience freedom, transformation, and courage to take the next step of faith.

About Us
First Covenant Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), which is a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada, with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the word of God, the gift of God's grace, and an ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith with Jesus Christ. We value the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity. ​
