Sin and Wrath / Romans 1:18-3:20In episode 3 of the After Church Podcast, host Trey Bailey (Eastridge XP) chats with Cameron Moore (South Associate Pastor) and Kurt Petersheim (East Campus Pastor) about Romans 1:18-3:20, a very difficult passage describing our sin and God&#39;s wrath. We discuss the ways in which we exchange the truth of God for a lie, and other.Have you ever traded/exchanged/bought something and felt like you got ripped off?In Romans 1:18-3:20 there are a series of exchanges we make, to our detriment. Things we think are better than what God is (or what God has) for us. So, the main point we’ll get to is that NO ONE is righteous before God on our OWN merit. Rather, we are all sinful and deserving of God’s just judgment and wrath.Questions for reflection:<ol><li>What does it mean to be sinful; what  is the nature of sin?</li><li>What is judgment; what is wrath?</li></ol>

Part 1 / Episode 2 of the After Church Podcast, host Trey Bailey (Eastridge XP) chats with Stephanie Akiyama (South Campus Director) and Kurt Petersheim (East Campus Pastor) to discuss Romans 1:16-17 and Paul&#39;s declaration of his unashamedness of the Gospel.Romans 1:16-17 - <a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-16.htm" rel="nofollow">16</a>For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. <a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-17.htm" rel="nofollow">17</a>For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Paul is “not ashamed of the gospel.” Questions for Reflection:<ol><li>How is the Gospel the “power of God for salvation”? How have you seen this reality in your own life/faith?</li><li>How might your life look differently, today, if you truly lived like Paul, “unashamed of the Gospel”? Would anything change?</li></ol> For all the resources in this series check out Eastridge.Church/Romans

Romans, It&#39;s A LetterPart 1/Episode 1 of the Romans After Church Podcast has host Trey Bailey, Executive Pastor of Eastridge Church, chatting with Stephanie Akiyama, South Campus Director, and Kurt Petersheim, East Campus Pastor, about the context and culture surrounding Paul&#39;s letter to the Romans.General intro to the letter to the Romans.Scripture focus:	Romans 1:1-7Who wrote Romans? <ul><li>Who’s thoughts?</li><li>Who actually penned words to paper?</li><li>Who read/performed the letter?</li></ul> Who is the letter addressed to?When was it written?WHY did Paul write the letter? What’s the context for the letter…what’s going on in Rome?Why is it important to read Romans today?What excites YOU about studying this letter together?What’s your favorite verse/section of Romans?Look briefly at Romans 1:1-7 (see sermon notes for bullet points and items to discuss)<ul><li>Servant, messenger, set apart</li><li>Good News/Gospel is that God has made a way for us to be reconciled to God through Jesus</li><li>Son of God/Christ our King</li><li>“Obedience of faith”</li></ul> Questions for reflection:<ol><li>Paul, who calls himself a slave/servant of Christ Jesus, has been called (set apart) to tell the Gentiles about the good news of Jesus. What is your “calling” (vocation)? How can you display your servanthood to Jesus?</li><li>One of the reasons Paul writes to the church in Rome is to help them become unified. Two groups of differing opinions were not in unity. Paul points to the Gospel as the only means by which we come together. What is one way you can promote peace in your church congregation, small group, or family?</li></ol> Find all the resources at Eastridge.Church/Romans
