January 25 | When God is UnGoded
Romans 1:28-32
Discussion Questions
Three general questions for digging deeper:
- What does this text teach us about God?
- What does this text teach us about ourselves?
- If this text is true, what should we do to obey this teaching?
Questions specific to the January 25 sermon from Romans 1:
- Romans 1:28 — Paul says God “gave them up” to a debased mind. How is this form of judgment both active and passive, and why is it especially sobering?
- Romans 1:28-29 — How does a rejection of God affect the way people think, desire, and live according to this passage? Where do you see this connection between belief and behavior today?
- Romans 1:29-31 — As you read this list of sins, which stand out to you and why? What do these sins reveal about our broken relationships — with God, with others, and within ourselves?
- Romans 1:32 — Why is it important to read this passage with humility rather than judgment toward others? How might this text invite personal repentance rather than comparison?
- Romans 8:32 — In light of the darkness of Romans 1:28-32, how does the fact that God gives up Jesus on our behalf shape our understanding of God’s serious judgment toward us and for us?
