This Month's Topic:

Scripture Reference: Romans 12:1-2

Discussion Objective:

What is a hypocrite? Have you felt hypocritical at times as it relates to walking out your faith in Christ? Explain

• Paul was writing to Christians living in Rome. Nero was emperor who did a lot of bad things to Christian but hadn't started yet. Paul was writing to city or cultured people that were well traveled with the trade industry, wealthy former idolaters and slaves were all a part of the new church in Rome.
• Chapters 1-8 explains the foundations of the Christian faith and is very salvific in its message.
• Chapters 9-11 Paul explains how people can receive a relationship with God.
• Chapters 12-16 He explains how to use information from the previous chapters to live a godly life.

V?-?: Comments and/or follow up questions

Paul is referencing the previous chapters that were set up for how one come to know Christ as savior - these 2 verses are a major pivot in the message Paul is relaying from God. So let's discuss key words in an effort to understand what we need to take away from this.

V1: "appeal", "present", "sacrifice"

Is an oversight or ill perceived action hypocritical if you are actively trying to not to conform to worldly things? Why or Why Not?

V2: What do you think he meant when he says "that by testing you may discern what is the will of God"?
