Sermon Notes

Why is Romans 12:14 this morning’s sermon text?

We were hungry for __________________, so Jesus died on the cross to give us His holy body to eat. You were thirsty for ___________________, so Jesus died on the cross to give you His saving blood to drink.

What type of culture has the prince of this world (Satan) created in our country? To what does it make us averse?

Ignatius of Antioch was martyred in Rome during the Trajan persecution. He wrote a letter to the Roman churches insisting they not interfere with his suffering for Christ. Consider his words quoted in the sermon. Are they shocking? Could you say the same sort of thing, if you were being persecuted?

How does Jesus fulfill Romans 12:20-21 for us in Holy Communion?
