WE ARE CONCERNED! Sin is Deadly; Hell is Real

The following questions are to be used as a study aid for the sermon preached by Rev. Tommy Dove at the Grace Place on Sunday, March 1, 2015. To get the most from these questions, go to http://www.graceplace.us and click on “Streaming.”  From there you can watch or listen to the service first.

These questions can be used in your private Bible study during the week or as the topic for a small group study. For more information on hosting or leading a small group study, click on "GP Small Groups" under "GP Ministries" at www.graceplace.us.

Fellowship: (Break bread with your community, share life from last week, announcements for next week)

Icebreaker: (Get to know your fellow believers a little bit better using this week’s topic)

If you could be somewhere else RIGHT now, where would you be?

Where would you like to go this summer?

Who would you like to go with you?

Scripture: (Read the word together – use different readers, different versions, just read it)

Romans 6:15-23

Lesson: (Delve deeper into the Word and into the sermon using open-ended questions)

Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.  Sadly, many people are proving this quote to be true on their journey through life.  Our goal is to help them find the narrow path that gives them freedom from sin and leads to eternal life.

Using Romans 6:15-23, fill in the blanks:

Disobedience leads to sin that leads to death that leads to eternal separation from God.

Obedience leads to righteousness that leads to holiness that leads to eternal life with God.

What is your reward for obedience?  Now?  Later?

Why does everything have to start with obedience?

Why is obedience so hard for humans?

Why should we be concerned about sin?

Why should we be concerned about sin in other’s lives?

How can we help others find their way to righteousness?

Prayer: (Share each other’s burdens, become a community of believers)

As we countdown to Easter, begin to pray for specific people who need to find Jesus.
