Last week (Romans 6) Paul showed how we are now dead to Sin and alive through Christ.  In the same way, this week (Romans 7) Paul explains that we are no longer held down by the chains of the law due to the death the Christ died.  Paul also sympathizes with his reader confessing that he does not do what he wants to do, and the things he does not want to do he does!  

Discussion Questions: 

1) What "Law" are you a slave to? 

2) Why? 

3) What is your greatest internal struggle? 

4) What is your kryptonite and why?

This week we look at Romans chapter 6.  Within this chapter, we cover and define SIN, Antinomianism, and Baptism (John's Baptism vs Jesus' Baptism).  Additionally, we cover the definition of a Dolous, Bond Slave and compare the Old Testament perspective on a slave by choice to a slave by bondage.  We also look at the courtroom of heaven, and the Great White Throne Judgment.    Everything comes back to this question: having been born again through Jesus, no longer a slave to sin and its bondage... how can we still remain in our bondage to sin.  Will we be a slave to sin or will we accept the freedom and be an instrument of righteousness?  Lots to discuss this week!

This week we look first at Romans 5:1-11 and the Assurance we have in our salvation.  We look at the hope that we have as Christians followed by a look at suffering and perseverance and the hope that results from that.  In the final segment (Romans 5:12-21) we compare the one man Adam, to the one man Jesus Christ and how through the one man's sin death was brought into the world for all mankind.  While at the same time one man's righteous act brought salvation to all mankind.  A great comparison!

This week we see the apostle Paul use Abraham as an example of righteousness through faith.  Based on this we dive in deep to answer the following question; the Bible teaches that people are justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and YET will also be judged according to their works.  Is this a contradiction in the bible? An intolerable impasse?

In this week's study, we look at Romans chapter 3 vs 9-31.  Subjects Dave covers include: What is the point of the Mosaic Law?  What role does the Law play (for the Jew in Paul's day and for the believer today)?  What is Covenant Monism?  How do Jesus' sacrifice and atonement contrast the bleak backdrop Paul has established over the last few chapters?

This week we look at Romans Chapter 2 and the first 9 verses of Chapter 3.  We see the Apostle Paul speak on the hypocrisy of judging others for the same sins that we commit ourselves.  Other key subjects include Righteousness, The Law, Circumcision of the flesh as well as circumcision of the heart and finally the abundance of Grace.  We will also look at King David as an example of a man after God's heart that, like all of us, screws up, but his response to his sin is a great example we can all look to.

The Apostle Paul has some very harsh words for the church this week.  Paul, in Romans chapter 1 vs 18-32 paints the reality of the fact that we have all fallen short.

In this week's Bible Study we see Paul finally in Rome, meeting with the Jews there and then with the Gentiles.  We look at these few verses and then expand from this book to look at Paul's release from his first Roman imprisonment, his 4th missionary journey, ended by his 2nd Roman imprisonment (and his eventual execution and martyrdom under the order of Emperor Nero).  We wrap up looking at the body of letters that we now have due to this amazing Apostle of God, and the foundation it is now in the New Testament.
