We are off and running in our Romans study, and I couldn’t be more excited about it! 

This Sunday we will look at Romans 1:16-17 and talk about “The Power of the Gospel.” 

As you read over the text, consider: 

• Do you think Paul had ever been tempted to be ashamed of the gospel? Why? 

• Considering the fact that we do not suffer anything like the level of persecution experienced by first-century believers, and believers today in many parts of the world, why would we ever be ashamed of the gospel? 

• What does Paul point to that gives him confidence and boldness in the gospel? 

• What does he mean in verse 17 when he talks about a “righteousness from God is revealed from faith to faith?” 

These questions are huge for understanding Romans. I’ll see you on Sunday, with a Bible in my hand.
