SERMON NOTES
经文Scripture Romans 5:6-11 日期 Date 21/11/2021
Sermon Discussion Questions:
1) Consider our struggle with sin. In what way is it similar to Paul's description in Romans 7?
2) Why is Jesus qualified to sacrifice on our behalf?
3) How does faith in a Saviour who dies for us help us to reconcile the beauty and sin in the world?
