Impact will be meeting this Thursday, December 3rd, to study Romans 5. Please read the chapter and review the questions below.
Impact meets Thursdays from 7-9 PM at 700 Santa Cruz behind Ace Hardware in Menlo Park. Impact is a ministry of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church. We are a community where single and married people in their 30's can connect with each other, explore the Christian faith, and grow on a deep level around the issues we face at this stage of our lives.
Study Questions
While We Were Sinners, Romans Chapter 5:1-11:
1. What do you think "therefore" is there for?
2. How do verses 1-2 refute the popular image of a judgmental God, just waiting for us to slip up so He can slap us down? Do you have peace with God?
3. How do you feel verses 6-8 reveal how much God values us?
4. What attitudes do you still hold that prevent you from accepting how important you are to God and how much He loves you? Spend some time praying about this one!
Adam 1 and Adam 2, Romans Chapter 5:12-21:
1. What do you feel "therefore" is there for?
2. Paul says sin entered the world through one man (Adam), how does this compare to other understandings of the Garden of Eden story you've heard?
3. Using Romans 5, can you answer the following questions: a.) Why do people die? b.) Why is there so much suffering in the world?
4. Do you really believe that you will die? If a person really believes that people will die without Christ, what kind of actions should be visible in his or her life.
