Questions
After some fellowship and prayer, read Romans 10:13-21
Review: Romans 10:13 says that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” What are some of the implications of this for assurance and evangelism?
Discuss the progression that Paul lays out in verses 14–15. What does it teach us about how the gospel is given to the lost? Think back to how you first heard the gospel. Who was the “herald” that God used in your life?
Preaching is heralding or proclaiming the message that has been given by God. How should this impact the way we view both formal preaching and everyday gospel conversations?
Why is the gospel good news that should be received with joy? What might it reveal about a person’s heart if the gospel is boring, offensive, or irrelevant? Isaiah experienced rejection in his ministry, and so did Christ. How does remembering this help us persevere when the gospel is rejected today?
According to verse 17, “faith comes from hearing.” What does this teach us about the necessity of words in evangelism?
Our church teaches that regeneration (being born again) precedes and produces faith. How does this doctrine help to magnify God’s grace and minimize human boasting? How should it increase our boldness in evangelism?
Paul insists that Israel’s unbelief was not due to a lack of opportunity but because of hard hearts. How does this balance God’s genuine invitation with human responsibility? In Romans 10:21 God is described as holding out His hands “all day long” to a disobedient people. What does this imagery teach us about God’s patience, compassion, and justice?
The sermon connected gospel proclamation to corporate worship, missions, parenting, and evangelism. How do each of these proclaim the gospel?
