Yes and No: Romans 6
by kellyg ~ March 1st, 2010. Filed under: Sermons and Discussion.Teacher: Pastor Richard Dahlstrom, February 28, 2010
There are two things going on leading up to Romans 6. Let’s follow the thinking:
- We’ve got big problems
- God has a solution
These truths run the risk of a terribly wrong conclusion. If sin + God’s love = revelation of grace, then sin > love > grace. Romans 6:1–2 addresses this.
Discussion Questions:
Nancy Eckardt
1. Vs. 1, 2a “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be!” Why can this never be? How is this the true gospel?
2. Have you ever been baptized? Why or why not?
3. Can you think of a time when you have said no to something in order to say yes to the greater thing?
4. What is something right now that you had to or need to say no to?
5. In Hebrews 12:1,2, Jesus is our example of saying no in order to say yes. To what did he say no? To what does he say yes? What does that mean for us?
6. As a community we are committing to incorporate Prayer, Scripture Reading, Generosity, and Service into our lives. How can we approach these spiritual disciplines as saying no in order to say yes to God?
7. What is a “no” that might now be holding you back from being able to say “yes”?
