Who’s really in charge of your life?
In week four of our Brand New series, Pastor James Grogan walks through Romans 6 and shows that following Jesus isn’t just about forgiveness—it’s about a transfer of allegiance. We all serve something or someone. The question is: who are you giving your life to?
Romans 6:14 reminds us of this powerful truth: sin is no longer your master… you are under grace.
This message unpacks what it looks like to live under a new allegiance:
• From Rules to Relationship
The law demands obedience through rules, but grace invites allegiance through relationship with Jesus.
• Everyone Serves Something
Whether we realize it or not, we all surrender to something—sin, success, approval, control, or Christ.
• What You Obey Gains Momentum
The habits and choices you say “yes” to will shape the direction of your life.
• Freedom Isn’t Neutral
Jesus didn’t just set you free from sin—He set you free for a new life of righteousness.
• Your Choices Have Outcomes
Sin leads to death. Obedience leads to life, growth, and ultimately eternal life in Christ.
Pastor James challenges us with a clear picture:
You’re not drifting through life—you’re following something.
And the good news is this:
You don’t have to live under your old master anymore.
In Jesus, you’ve been set free to live a brand new life with a brand new allegiance.
