Discussion Questions: May 18
Opening
What stood out to you from Sunday’s message?
Summary
Read Romans 10.5-21
In Romans 9 Paul emphasized God’s complete sovereignty in election and salvation, but now in chapter 10 he focuses on our human responsibility. In order to be saved, a person must confess that Jesus is Lord and believe the resurrection. And in order to confess and believe a person must hear the gospel proclaimed. Therefore every Christian is sent and responsible to proclaim the gospel.
