Hymn: Amazing Grace
Memory Verse: Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves; it is the
gift of God.
Lesson: The Roman Road
Pastor Ron’s remarks and intro of first principle
First Principle: No one’s
perfect.
Scripture Reference: Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory
of God.
Every
person was born into sin and no one is perfect.
Question: Is it possible for
someone to be perfect on their own?
Follow up Question: What are some
common sins that people often overlook?
Conclusion: Every person has
sinned and fallen short of God’s commandments. No one can qualify for heaven on
their own merit. Our only hope is that God would be merciful and gracious to
forgive us our sinful debt through our faith in His Son.
Pastor Ron’s remarks and intro of second principle
Second Principle: God can fix anything.
Scripture Reference: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Everyone
deserves to go to hell but they don’t have to.
Only
God could have made a way.
Question: Describe the
concept of receiving wages.
Follow Up Question: What does it mean
to receive a gift?
Conclusion: Since God can fix
the problem with sin, He can also fix everything else. We often deserve much
worse than we receive because of God’s goodness, His mercy, and His grace.
God’s grace makes the gift of salvation possible.
Pastor Ron’s remarks and intro of third principle
Third Principle: All you need to do is ask.
Scripture Reference:
Romans 10:13 For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall
be saved.
A
free gift is not free if it costs you anything.
God
offers a free gift of eternal life … if we ask.
Question: How can it be this
simple?
Follow Up Question: Why doesn’t
everyone ask?
Conclusion: The Bible says we
have not because we ask not, but, if we ask we would receive and our joy would
be full. Scriptures continue to tell us that people will not ask for something
they do not know about and people cannot know unless someone will tell them.
