Sermon
We don’t like to be told we can’t do something. We think even if there is a slight chance, we can do it. The reality however is we can’t make ourselves righteous before God, we need what Christ has done. Pastor Ryan preaches from Romans 10:5-13, “There’s no chance for righteousness on your own, but it’s 100% certain through faith in Christ.”
Application Questions
Look Back
- Reflect over this past week and share how God was a sanctuary and place of rest in Christ.
Look Up
Read Romans 10:1-13
- What is the essence of life by the law? Why can’t we do it? Why is the law even there then?
- Why do we want to do it on our own? Why is it hard to trust and obey God?
- Why does Paul quote from Deuteronomy 30? How does he apply this to Christ? Why do we make it harder than it needs to be sometimes?
- Why does receiving salvation involve both our mouth and heart?
- Why do you think so many don’t turn to Christ when the offer is so amazing?
