The Resurrection and the Spirit of Life

By Dan Yacoviello

*NOTICE: The emphasis of our discussion is to see how the Written Word (Bible) and the Spoken Word (Preaching) work together to build up the believer, so when you see WORD in the questions, know it refers to the Scripture and the Sermon.

Recap: Look back for evidence of God’s word reshaping your heart and life.

  1. Does anyone have a testimony to share with the group of how you applied last week’s “Respond” section?

EngageLook into the Word of God in light of Sunday’s preached sermon.

  1. Read Romans 8 as a group and discuss your initial observations about the chapter.

Reflect: Look deeper at the preached and written Word.

  1. Using Romans 8, contrast the law of sin and death from the law of the spirit of life. How does this understanding change your perspective on your relationship with God?

  2. In verses 14–17, what does it mean to be adopted as a child of God, and how does that change your relationship with God as Father?

  3. How does Good Friday demonstrate both the cost of your adoption and the certainty of God’s generosity toward you as His child?

  4. The sermon emphasized that it’s Christ’s love for us—not our love for Him—that bonds us together. Why is this distinction so important?

  5. When Paul asks, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (v. 31), what fears or doubts in your life does this truth directly challenge?

Respond: Choose one or two of the following applications of Sunday’s message and commit to it/them this next week.

Daily Reminder – Each morning this week, remind yourself: “I am a child of God. Nothing can separate me from His love.” Journal about how this truth impacts your day.

Prayer Practice – Practice calling God “Father” in your prayers this week. Bring Him specific struggles, fears, or needs, addressing Him as your loving Father rather than a distant judge.

Scripture Memory – Memorize Romans 8:1-2 or Romans 8:38-39. Recite it when you face doubt, fear, or condemnation.

Share Your Story – Share with someone this week (a friend, family member, or co-worker) about what it means to be “in Christ” and how they can experience this freedom.

Gratitude List – Make a list of the privileges you have as an adopted child of God. Thank Him specifically for each one.
