Why do some people only read what appears to be half of Romans 8:1? Should I be good friends with unbelievers if they’re pulling me away from other Christians?

Does the Holy Spirit sometimes speak through us? What does that entail? Is “once saved, always saved” really true? What about being lukewarm? Isn’t there an unpardonable sin? What’s on your heart and mind lately, Andrew? How should we view the impossible demands of the Sermon on the Mount? My long-time boyfriend and I are both believers, and we are living together. What are your thoughts on sex outside of marriage?

Ever felt like the Law was a relentless taskmaster, showcasing your every flaw? In my latest message on Romans 7:1-8, we explore Paul’s compelling analogy that challenges conventional wisdom on how to fight temptation. It’s not about a process of dying to sin—it’s about realizing you’re already free from its grip!

You’ll discover how the Law, while a perfect standard, can actually enhance sin’s power when you’re under it. But here’s the kicker: Paul reveals a radical solution to immorality that might just surprise you. Ready to explore how we serve God in a brand new way?

Discussion Questions:

1. Read verses 1-4. What’s the analogy? What’s the takeaway?
2. Read verses 5-6. What did the Law do? Why were we released? How do we serve God now?
3. Read verses 7-8. How does Paul demonstrate that he means the Ten Commandments here? What is his solution to immorality? (Hint: See the end of verse 8 and discuss.)
4. Read verses 9-11. How are these verses about the Law’s effects and not about some “process” of Paul dying and sin becoming alive? (Note: Paul was already dead and sin was already alive.)
5. Read verses 12-13 and react to this statement: The Law is good, but put me under it, and watch sin be showcased as utterly sinful!
6. Reflection: Do you think this passage is setting Paul up to talk about his struggle under the Law as an unbeliever (devout Jew) or as a believer? Why?

What is discernment? Some of my friends listen to explicit music that is laced with profanity. How should I deal with this situation? My friend quotes Matthew 19 to say that we’re still under the 10 Commandments today. What’s the truth?

Can we give up our birthright (our salvation)? If not, then why does Hebrews 12 mention Esau giving up his? What does God canceling “the certificate of debt” mean in Colossians 2? I feel like the Lord asked me to do a bunch of things that I wasn’t willing to do. Then I rebelled and married a man who may be an unbeliever. Now I have a child with him. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to try to go back to my old life. Can you help?

What does it mean to “receive the grace of God in vain”? Why does Paul tell the Corinthians not to teach unclean things? I was a believer, but I got involved in materialism. Now, I feel lost. Why would God make a Devil who would tempt me? How can there be a loving God if there’s so much suffering in the world? What does it mean to ask God to forgive you of all your sins?

Why does Paul mention defilement of flesh and spirit if we cannot be spiritually defiled as believers? Is the Roman Catholic church the one true church? My brother is a minister, and he is sleeping with multiple women and involved in substance abuse. What should I do? Some say that home church or online church doesn’t “count.” What are your thoughts? Why is the Apocrypha not in our canon of Scripture? What are the good works that God has prepared in advance for us? Why is the Word of Faith movement so damaging? What is the truth about the false idea of guaranteed health or wealth?
