Book of Romans: Is It Worth It?
Sunday, 19 October, 2025
Jim Keena | Guest Speaker | October 19, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 8:17-21, John 6:66-69, 2 Corinthians 4:17 Reflection Questions: 1. When have you faced a difficult situation that ultimately proved to be “worth it”? 2. Read Romans 8:17-21 aloud together. According to verse 17, what does it mean to be an “heir of God and co-heir with Christ”? Why does Paul connect being a child of God with sharing in Christ’s sufferings as well as His glory? 3. In verse 18, Paul states that our current sufferings “are not worth comparing” with future glory. What could make it difficult for us to believe this in your life today? 4. Romans 8:18 speaks of the Christian’s future glorification, when we will become a “perfected people”. Read and respond to the following definition: “In glorification, believers attain complete conformity to the image and likeness of the glorified Christ and are freed from both physical and spiritual defect. Glorification ensures that believers will never again experience bodily decay, death, or illness, and will never again struggle with sin. 5. Jim used the illustration of holding a 3x5 card marked “suffering” close to his eyes before moving it away to gain perspective. What helps you keep the proper perspective on suffering? How can others assist you in this? 6. Romans 8:19–21 depict creation yearning for renewal. What does this reveal about the extent of God’s redemption? Romans 8 shows that both believers and creation are longing for freedom. How can we live today as people who hold onto hope in a world still affected by decay? What’s your next step?
