+## Big Idea
+Every believer is united with Christ for a purpose.
+
+## Read: 
+Romans [6:5-11](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ROM.6.ESV)
+
+## Discussion Questions
+1. What insight, principle, or observation from this week’s sermon was the most helpful, eye-
+opening, or troubling? Explain.
+
+2. How do secular and biblical perspectives on identity differ?
+3. What does it mean to be “united with Christ” as described by Paul in verses five through
+eleven?
+4. On two occasions, Paul said “we know” (vs. 6, 9). He clearly wanted us to not only know
+about our union with Christ but to embrace the reality of that union. Sometimes we don’t
+feel as if these things are true, so what role does faith play in our new identity in Christ?
+5. How does this passage and sermon change the way we think about freedom?
+
+## Next Steps
+As members of the body of Christ, what are some practical ways we can encourage one another
+to live in the reality of being dead to sin and alive to God?
+
+## Prayer Focus
+This is Mission Emphasis Month at CrossPointe. Carneys, and the Coolbaughs.
