SERIES OVERVIEW 

Take a journey together with your small group to greater faith! If you’ve ever had feelings like, “I’m not good enough,” “I’m never going to change,” or “Life is too hard,” Romans eight is the chapter for you! Pastor Tom Holladay taught this  series beginning at the bottom and moving to the top of Saddleback Mountain through each of the four sessions to help us see clearly the journey from doubt to faith—from discouragement to hope—that God has for us. 

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 

1. Are there any verses in Romans 8 that have been especially meaningful to you in your Christian walk? 
2. Verse 1: Which of these promises for the believer hits you at the deepest level ? 
   • God is not angry 
   • God does not punish 
   • God does not reject 
   • God does not remove his blessings 
3. Verse 1: Do you ever feel like God is angry with you or out to punish you? Is it difficult in any way to accept the truth that there is no condemnation for us as believers in Jesus? 
4. Verse 1: What does it mean to you to be “in Christ?” 
5. Verses 2–4: Do you ever find yourself trying to do through some “law” or “rule” what can only be done through Jesus? 

PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE 

Who do you know that needs to be encouraged with the truth of “no condemnation” right now? It might be someone who has not yet trusted in Christ’s forgiveness who needs to know they can live a life of no condemnation, or it might be a believer who has gotten caught up in condemning themselves. Pray that God will give you an opportunity to share this message with someone this next week. This is good news worth passing on! 

PRAYER DIRECTION 

Ask for prayer requests from each person in the group that you can pray for during this study. As you pray, remember to thank God for the gift of “no condemnation” that he gives us through Christ.
