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 March 15 sermon from Romans 5:

  • Do you struggle with believing that through Jesus Christ you are now at peace with God? Why do you struggle with believing this?
  • Do you struggle to believe that through Jesus Christ you have direct access to God?  Why do you struggle believing this?
  • What are your typical responses to suffering?
  • Why is it hard to rejoice in your sufferings?
  • How can you reorient your heart to respond to sufferings well, knowing that your sufferings are producing endurance, character and hope in your life?
  • How confident are you in the hope that one day you will be completely free from sin through Jesus Christ? What helps you to have more hope?
