STUDY SHEETS for Sunday August 10, 2014

Hello to You,

Here is an overview of how our study has progressed thus far:

  • 1:1-15 Paul introduces his letter, establishes himself as a spokesman for God and cultivates his connection with the believers at Rome.
  • 1:16-17 The great statement of the Gospel. The entire letter captured in two verses.
  • 1:18-32 A general statement of the sinfulness and rebellion of mankind.

And now this week … 

  • 2:1-16 Paul goes after the religious crowd.

I have never preached through Romans, so maybe this is why I have not seen this sequence so clearly before. Paul has just in general terms spoken to the sinfulness and foolishness of humankind. But now he gets more personal as he sets his sites on established religion. In this case, the Jews.

  • (Romans 2:1 NCV) If you think you can judge others, you are wrong. When you judge them, you are really judging yourself guilty, because you do the same things they do.

They judged others, and in so doing, they brought condemnation upon themselves.

Message Title: You Do the Same Things!

Message Text: Romans 2:1-16
