Avg Guy: It’s so unfair… Adam ruined everything!!
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and invites us to ponder a question that has remained with church history for 2000 years:
Why is it that we are guilty, even before we have done anything wrong ourselves?
For our understanding of this exact question forms the basis of our understanding of, not only Original Sin but, the gospel itself.

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.
