Indy and I started a study of the book of Romans, taking each passage apart, and then going back over and finding applications to our lives of each clause. Romans is the most theologically packed book of the Bible, and it will be very rewarding to unpack it.
It is extremely fun, and I plan to continue. If others would like to join us every Sunday, you are more than welcome. This will be continued every week in the afternoon, in the floor lounge. I'm thinking 3-4:30 PM, but it is flexible. Please contact me about it.
In this first time, we started at Rom 1:1, and went through the first two passages - the introductory greeting and Paul's expression of desire to visit the church in Rome - taking us through verse 13.
It is amazing how much Paul packs into his letter. From 1 or 2 hours of study on the first 13 verses, we got the applications that we:
- Are saints, beloved by God
- Are Gentiles
- Must serve for the Gospel
- Should regularly pray for others, to the point that we can call God as a witness to how much we pray
- Should have faith that we are not ashamed of, to the point that we are known worldwide for it
- Must serve God wholeheartedly in the Gospel
- Should encourage each other in the faith.
Below are three pictures of what Indy and I got out of our study:
