GPS: Grow, Pray, Study

Monday, April 27 Romans 1:1 – 1:17

• In this opening section of Romans, Paul introduces himself as a “servant of Jesus Christ” among other things. How do you identify yourself when meeting others? Do you think of yourself as called by God?

• In verses 8 - 15, Paul gives thanks for the community of faith in Roman that he has never met. As you will see, community is a major theme in Romans. How are you seeking to encourage others and bless those around you, especially people in our church community?

Tuesday, April 28 Romans 1:18 – 1:32

• Human tendency is to point out others sins and make certain sins worse than others. Instead of using this passage to condemn other, reflect on your own sinfulness. How have you failed to honor God or to give him thanks? Have you committed any of the sins listed in verses 29 – 31? Do you need to confess them to God?
