In Romans 11:33-36 Paul concludes his comprehensive teaching on the gospel of Christ with exuberant praise! As we heard this morning the Christian is in constant need of seeing the glory of God again and again as the means by which we persevere and stay on our course to heaven. As you consider these things together spend some time reviewing the sermon and answering the following questions.

1. Read Romans 11:33-36, brother/sister can you say that this is the temperature of your soul? Why/why not? Are there particular ways you're striving to be taken up with God's perfection, beauty, glory in the gospel? Explain.

2. One of the points Pastor Ryan made this morning was that "Paul believes that overwhelming worship comes from careful contemplation as opposed to emotional manipulation." Thinking about the 'temperature' of your own heart towards the Lord, how much would you say you're depending on having to be moved emotionally in order to give the Lord thanks and praise? Is careful contemplation of who God is and what he has done for us in the gospel difficult for you? Explain.

3. In Romans 11:1-5 Paul is concerned that the church would not misunderstand God's plan for his people, which ultimately effects how they would see God. Brother/sister do you see that one of your primary ministries to the body is to help one another see God rightly?

May we all together be taken up with the glory of God in the gospel and proclaim his wonder and majesty!
