Deep Sheet: Sermon Study Questions
1.   How does Romans 8 produce confident Christians? How has your confidence grown as we’ve studied this chapter?
2.   How would you characterize the “love of Christ”? How does our culture replace this definition of love with superficial substitutes?
3.    Compare the different forms of suffering listed in v. 35 with Paul’s description of his own sufferings in 2 Corinthians 11:23-28. Have you considered suffering to be the norm for the Christian?
4.   What does it mean to be “more than conquerors”? How does this refer back to v. 28?
5.   What does it look like to confess / repent of / put to death doubting God’s love? How have you fought this sin in your life?
6.   How are vv. 38-39 comprehensive in scope? Why should this climax produce a fearless life?
