Rooted - Week 10
Wednesday Night – Fill-In Notes 11.3.21
Scripture: Romans 5:1-11
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

SGQ’s (M.S.):
1. Are there any other ways to be made right with God other than through Jesus? Explain.
2. Why can we only have peace with God through Jesus?
3. Is there any “benefit” to being saved for right now (other than for eternity)?
4. What should we do if we are feeling discouraged by circumstances in our life that are out of our control?
Is there anything we talked about tonight that would help us in those situations?
SGQ’s (H.S.):
1. Read: Colossians 2:13-15. What does it mean that He “disarmed” the rulers and authorities?
2. Read: Hebrews 7:25. Why does Christ continue to intercede for us if we are already saved?
How might thinking about this reality change how we approach worship?
3. What happens when we begin to doubt the grace of God?
How might this affect our thoughts/actions/prayer life/devotional times/etc?
a. What do we do when this happens?
