Questions
After some fellowship and prayer, read Romans 15:14-21
What three reasons does Paul give in Romans 15:14 for being satisfied with the Roman believers and discuss what each reason refers to.
Why is it important for Christians to recognize and to give thanks for evidences of God’s grace in one another? How can we be both satisfied with what God has done in us while at the same time seek to grow in Christ? Are you more likely to notice where other believers need to mature in Christ or what God has already done in them? Why?
How can our church grow in being “full of goodness” toward one another in practical ways? What can you do to grow in the knowledge of God and his word? What are some good and godly reasons to pursue theologically knowledge? Why do Christians need repeated reminders of truths they already know?Who has God placed in your life that you can help instruct, encourage, warn, or disciple?
In what way was Paul’s ministry was like “priestly service” in Romans 15:16? How does his priestly ministry differ from the Old Testament priestly ministry?
Why is Paul’s “boasting” in Romans 15:17 not sinful pride? What was Paul’s missionary ambition according to Romans 15:20–21? Do we still need pioneer missionaries like Paul who are willing to go where Christ has not been preached? Why?
What ambitions most often compete with a holy ambition to make Christ known and glorify God? What is one practical way you can participate in the advance of the gospel locally or globally this week?
How should we then live? Consider your ambition, if it is not for more of Christ and the glory of God ask God to change it. Revisit your answer to the last questions regarding “one practical way you can participate in the advance of the gospel”, if at all possible do it this week.
