When In Rome: Salvation Is Here
Here are some questions to help you process this message and apply it to your life:
1. What milestone event (birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc.) have you recently celebrated or will you be celebrating? How are you going to celebrate?
2. “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road, has sent me so that you might regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Instantly something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he regained his sight. (Acts 9:17)
Garry talked about being with people ‘when the ‘scales fell off’ and they had an ‘aha’ moment with God. Share an ‘aha’ moment that you’ve had with God.
3. If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. (Romans 10:5-10)
What are your thoughts about salvation being personal?
4. For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? (Romans 10:13-15)
We heard that we have a role to play in spreading the good news by sharing our story and the difference Jesus had made in our life. What thoughts come to mind when you think about sharing your journey of faith with someone who doesn’t believe?
5. Who’s your Bubba? Commit to praying for the Bubba(s) in your life and for the courage to invite them to a Sunday service or TMP event and then share your story with them. If you haven’t taken it yet, sign up for Class 4 for help with this.
