Romans 5:1-8

Conversation Starters

╬ Peace, grace, and hope are lived realities in the with-God life (v. 2-3). We all need to re-hear the good news stories of God’s peace, grace, and hope that populate our faith journeys. Listen to the Lord’s promises and provisions for your life and salvation.

╬ Our actions and words speak the Gospel story to our kids. How might you encourage the next generation with your stories of God’s good news? Pray for the right time to share them with our kids who need to hear them too.

╬ You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly (v. 6). And we are still powerless to save ourselves! We did not have to earn God’s love (v. 8). We need Christ and our kids need Christ. Take time today to receive the love of Christ. And this very day, there is someone who will cross your path who needs to know that God loves them. Be ready to extend the love you yourself have received today.

Is it like a novel with a gripping story or like non-fiction that gives good information to know? “Eating” the Bible involves a meditative, slow, submissive process with interest in both knowing more and, more importantly, becoming more. In the companionship of the Spirit, will you seek to increase your “becoming-more” reading of the Word? ╬ Who do you know who “walks in the counsel of the world, stands with sinners, or sits with scoffers”? Pray for them! May God the Spirit create in them a great hunger for God’s Word who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Conversation Starters ╬ Jesus is the Word that became flesh. How does Jesus’ incarnation, his life, death and resurrection give you reason to trust the Bible? ╬ Jesus is our teacher who gave us an example of a true servant leader. How did Jesus choose to be known as a leader? Consider Jesus’ leadership example from John 13-14 as you ask yourself, “What Would Jesus Do?”
