Romans Review

Hi everyone! Every week a leader will be posting something brief on what we studied the previous week to help us all review. Looking forward to seeing you all tonight.

The passage of Scripture that we looked at last week was Romans 10:12-21 and we looked at different aspects of the word of Christ (verse 17).

One word that stands out first in the passage is the word ‘call’, in verse 13, which refers to one who is calling out in desperation to be delivered from danger. The word of Christ is the only thing that can warn a person that he is in danger because of their sin. I asked the question, "Have you been brought to desperation by the word of God to the point where you have cried out for mercy?"

The word of Christ has to be proclaimed by a herald or a preacher (verse 14) in order for people to hear and come to faith in Christ.

The word of Christ is the only thing that can bring about faith in a person (verse 17). If people do not hear the word of Christ, that is the Gospel, they will not come to faith.

Christians are fully responsible to proclaim the Gospel in order that people would come to faith.

We also looked at the fact that the word of Christ has been rejected by Israel. We will continue this topic tonight and in the weeks to come.

New Opportunities

Hey there wonbyone.-ers. Just a reminder from last week's wonbyone.: if you are interested in joining a bible study group, please let a leader know by this Sunday.

These groups will involve just two or three teens plus one leader. They will meet once or twice a month, and will involve working through a bible study book or some other materials together. Transportation will be arranged along with meeting times so that anyone who wants to be involved is able to do so.

If you'd like to join a study or want more information before making up your mind, please email me at connlaw2005@yahoo.com.

All the leaders encourage you to strongly consider this opportunity to take the next step in learning how to learn from the Word of God!

Season Premier

wonbyone. will be starting up on August 24, 2007 at the Knotts' house. If you need the address or would like directions, please send an email to connlaw2005@yahoo.com.
