Dead Men Don’t Live Here Anymore, Romans 6
What if grace doesn’t just forgive your past… but completely buries the old you?
In this powerful message from Romans 6, Pastor Tom Fodi unpacks one of the most misunderstood truths in Christianity: grace is not permission to keep living the same way — grace is resurrection power that transforms lives from the inside out.
Using the unforgettable true story of Pittsburgh mobster Eugene “Nick the Blade” Gesuale and his infamous obituary, this sermon confronts the way we minimize our sin, justify our rebellion, and compare ourselves to “worse” people. But Romans 6 forces us to face a deeper question:
If Jesus really changed you… why are you still living in the grave He rescued you from?
🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
• Why Christianity is more than behavior modification
• The difference between struggling with sin and surrendering to it
• Why conviction is actually evidence God is working in you
• How grace breaks shame, addiction, bitterness, lust, and spiritual defeat
• What it truly means to live the resurrected life
This isn’t a sermon about trying harder.
It’s about becoming somebody new.
Whether you’ve followed Jesus for decades, drifted far from God, or are just spiritually curious, this message will challenge, convict, encourage, and inspire you to stop settling for the old life Christ already buried.
“The gospel is not about finding clever ways to defend the old you. The gospel is about the old you dying altogether.”
