Romans 15:14-16:27 for 3/18

What have you learned about God from our study of Romans?




What have you learned about our relationship as the Body of Christ?




If you take Paul’s words in Romans seriously, what would change in your life? In your ministry? What is God calling you to do / say?




Read Paul’s final instructions in Romans 16:17-18. How might we hold these words in tension with the commandment to love our neighbor and not to judge? How do these words inform how we might live into these first two commandments in the “real world”?




Why do you think Paul mentions so many people in such rapid succession at the end of this letter? What might it have accomplished?




Notice the roles of women that Paul mentions in chapter 16. Compare this to 1 Cor 14:33-36 and 1 Timothy 2:11-12. What do you make of this?




What have you learned about Christian Ethics from Paul’s letter to the Romans? What does this mean for your own moral living? Your relationships with others?
