For Sunday, October 23, 2011

1) Romans 9:1-5


What was bothering Paul? How would you describe his feelings about it? What was he willing to do? What are you willing to do to help someone else come to a true understanding of following Christ?


Romans 9:19-24


What argument was Paul confronting in this passage? To whom did Paul compare God? To what did Paul compare the Christian? How does knowing this truth change the way you live your life?


2) Romans 9:30-33


What was the comparison Paul made in these verses? What is the key to the pursuit? Who was the stumbling stone? Who did He make stumble?


Romans 10:1-4


What was Paul’s heart desire? What is your heart desire? Do you have a burden for an individual or a people group to come to Christ? What are you doing about it? What was wrong with how the Israelites were pursuing righteousness?


3) Romans 10:8-15


According to Paul in this passage, what must a person do to be saved? What was the encouragement for Paul’s audience found in verses 12-13? What is the progression a person must go through to reach salvation? What was the purpose of all of Paul’s questions in verses 14-16?


4) Romans 11:1-2a; 5-6


According to Paul, how had God’s relationship with His people, Israel, changed? What was the good news in these verses? What was the bad news?


Romans 11:33-36


How did Paul finish his theological explanation about the role of Jews and Gentiles in God’s kingdom? What do you think he ended this way? What stands out to you in these verses?
