[Sunday] Under Roman Roads - God's Greater Story - Romans 13
There they were, placing another Christian friend in the catacombs under the roads of Rome. They were facing persecution from all sides, and things looked bleak. They then looked at the new painting on the wall. It was Jesus the savant of all, encouraging them, too, to be servants of all.
Service [above] Sermon releases at 10pm [under]
Questions for the Week
What do you think makes a good political leader?
Read Romans 13:1-14. How does Paul offer a different perspective of our leaders? Who ultimately is in charge?
What does knowing that “there is no authority except from God and those that exist have been instituted by God” (Romans 13:1b) enable you to do?
What would the world look like if Chrstians focused more on loving our neighbors, one on one, rather than fighting over politics?

[Sunday] Molded - God's Greater Story - Romans 12
The power of the world is chiseled in stone, but the power of God is molded in flesh and blood. Let us pray we don’t seek our hope in cold, chiseled stone, but may the Spirit guide and mold us to be servants of God’s creation.

[Sunday] Grafted- God's Greater Story - Romans 11
The story is backwards. Usually the stump is wild and the grafted branches are the good, fruit-bearing kind. But here, the wild branches (usually less fruitful) are the ones which have been grafted in. Paul is telling us, the wild ones, to be humble because we have been grafted into the original tree of promise.

[Sunday] Perspective - God's Greater Story - Romans 10
Salvador Dali’s Christ of St. John of the Cross was almost completely destroyed when a man claimed it desecrated Christ and His image. What would enrage someone to destroy a work of art like that? Was it someone hostile to the faith? Nope, it was a matter of perspective.
Service [above] Sermon [under]
Questions for the Week
What is something that has changed your perspective over the years?
Read Romans 10:1-4. What were the Jews having zeal for? Do you have a similar zeal?
Read Romans 10:5-13. Who can be saved?
Try to look at the world through God's eyes. He loves us all. See the world through a loving Father’s perspective. Does it change how you look at those around you?

[Sunday] Humble Servant - God's Greater Story - Romans 9
Why are God’s original people, who are in the line of their father Israel, being left behind? This is an extremely hard question, and I think we find the answer, not in the search for power, but in being a humble servant.
Service [above] Sermon [under]
Questions for the Week
Describe a time when you saw someone look down on someone else because they were different.
Read Romans 9:1-5. Why is Paul’s heart so broken?

How does God’s mercy towards you in making you a child of his promise affect how you relate to those who are different than you?

[Sunday] Overwhelm - God's Greater Story - Romans 8:31-39
The world just feels overwhelming. From the virus, politics, and loss of security it can feel like it is just too much. That right there is what the author Paul wants us to see, that no matter what, God's love is just as overwhelming, but in a good way.
Service [above] Sermon [under]
Questions for the Week
Describe a time you experienced God’s love when you were overwhelmed.
Read Romans 8:28-39. Paul mentioned trial and tribulation and many others things that you might think would separate you from God. What are some things you experience in your life, that you feel could separate you from God and hope?
According to Paul, who or what is able to separate us from the love of God?

Thank you for your past and continual prayers and financial support to Grace and your community.

[Sunday] Slave to Son- God's Greater Story - Romans 8
Paul makes a curious point prior to chapter 8 here. He says we are no longer a slave to sin but a slave to Christ. But where is the freedom in that? It sounds like we have exchanged one slavery for another, but that was just a stopgap point. For Paul keeps moving forward and says we are not a slave to have been made into a child of God.
Service [above] Sermon [under]
Questions for the Week
Describe a time from your childhood where you had to be forgiven by a parental figure. What did that mean to you?
Read Romans 8:12-17. In the previous chapter Paul has talked about how we are slaves to righteousness. He has now progressed his idea to say that we are free. What illustration does Paul use to describe what this freedom looks like?
According to Paul, how do we become sons (and daughters) of God?
Paint a picture with your words of what it looks like for us to live as family members of God?

[Sunday] Deliverance- God's Greater Story - Romans 7
Life can be full of struggle. In the midst of such struggle we are trying to figure out how we should act that would be the best. But many times we end up doing and participating in the very things we hate. Who will deliver us from this struggle?
Service [above] Sermon [under]
Questions for the Week
Share a time when you tried to do the right thing, but it ended up doing the wrong thing?
Read Romans 7:14-25. Does knowing the right thing to do enable Paul to actually do the right thing? Why or why not?
How is your struggle with trying to do good, similar to Paul’s struggle? What prevents you from doing good all the time?
As we’re trapped in our sin, it can seem hopeless. Where does Paul look to for deliverance and hope?

[Sunday] - Reflection - God's Greater Story - Romans 6
When we are looking at participating in a greater story, we usually desire to neglect and hide our weaknesses. However, we see that we are baptized into Christ’s death and participate in his resurrection. Wait, what? Baptized into death? How is this the greater story?

What Had happened at Grace this week.
The Kingdom of God is right here: The lowly manger being lauded by well traveled kings; wisdom from on high unearthing the way of love; the blind seeing the light radiating from a cold tomb. It's backwards. It's beautiful. It's the Kingdom way.
