WHAT MAKES A LIFE COACH? Q's

MONDAY 05.03.2010 Romans 3:9-26
How many of you grew up with knowing the phrase, "The Roman Road"? It was a set of verses that many used when telling people about Christ. In reading this passage it is amazing the verses that surround those "Roman Road" sections that we all became familiar with, like verse 10 and verse 23 in this chapter. Beside the 10th verse, what does it say about people...about all of us in this world?
Does just "being a good person" give us LIFE? Something remarkable is shared in verse 21-26. Where does righteousness come from?

TUESDAY 05.04.2010 Romans 5:1-11
More of the "Roman Road". We see this in verse 8.
What does it say gives us access to God? Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man (vs 7), yet what does verse 8 say? So, here is some incredible power....not only have we been justified by his blood, we have....what does it say in this passage regarding what we have through Christ?

WEDNESDAY 05.05.2010 Romans 5:12-21
Wow! Did you read this passage? It begins with another "Roman Road" verse. You have to love, however, what follows as it talks about sin and how through Christ we were justified. How, with one man's sin, all therefore have sinned, and through one man's obedience...many will be made what? What does it say about grace, righteousness and eternal life?

THURSDAY 05.06.2010 Romans 6:1-14
I remember when I was in Seminary this was one of the passages that our small group studied and memorized the first semester. I can also remember a man sharing with me that he could do whatever he wanted because he could then ask God to "just forgive him". As you think of that comment, read this passage. What do you think about the man's comment and how we are challenged to live?

FRIDAY 05.07.2010 Romans 7:7-25
A true passage of what it means to daily struggle. I remember when gave my life to Christ and was sharing somethings with my counselor and she shared that what I was doing was "grieving the spirit", that what I was doing was sin. I had no idea. The struggle of being saved by grace and living in an unrighteous world. Do you remember the passage not long ago that stated that satan roams around like a roaring lion seeking to devour? This is a daily walk for as followers of Christ, that struggling with sin. Yet there is victory....in this passage, what does Paul share is the victory? What can you claim daily when "sinful nature" stares you down?!

SATURDAY 05.08.2010 Romans 8:28-39
I love that this passage follows the STRUGGLING WITH SIN. It is so easy to be down on ourselves as we face this world daily and what is set before us. Yet this passage is powerful. I urge you to commit it to memory. Take time to list what it says about us in our relationship with God and with our SAVIOR, Jesus Christ. Just as Paul encourages us in our walk with these powerful, truthful words...let's go this week and do the same!
