Sermon Notes
Date: 02/26/2023
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 1:24-32
Description:
To those who “abandon” Him, He “abandons” them… and gives them over to the consequences of their own sin.
Today on the Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and shows us that this is one of the ways in which God’s wrath is revealed.
When man demands life on his own terms, God essentially says,
“Have it your way.”
…And without God’s restraint of sin, there is no limit to man’s depravity.

Questions:
The following are questions to help you think about the sermon, as well as offer a set of discussion questions for family worship, or gathering together in other settings. My prayer is that these questions will allow you to dwell longer, and meditate more, upon God’s holy Word and will be fodder for sanctifying conversations. — M.S.
