Sermon Notes
Date: 08/13/2023
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 7:7-13
Description:
Like a sleeping dragon, sin reclines guarding its hoard.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and explains that without the law…
√ Men lie at ease.
√ Their consciences are at rest.
√ They think good of themselves.
But then the law comes in and rouses the dragon — turning what was once seemingly peaceful to unleashed fury.
For the more Law reveals, the more Dragon reveals… its true character.

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.
