TEXT: Romans 1:24–32
MESSAGE BY: Pastor Tim Lewis

 1. The Gentile rejection of God’s revelation.

• Inexcusable. (V. 20)

•  Intentional. (V. 21)

  • They intentionally exchanged:

    • The glory due God for idols. (V. 23)

    • The truth of God for the lie. (V. 25)

    •  The natural for the unnatural. (V. 26)

• Indicting. 

2. God’s righteous wrath revealed. (Vv. 24–28)

• God gave them over to impurity. (V. 24)
  (Eph. 4:17–19)

• God gave them over to degrading passions. (Vv. 26-27)
  (1 Thes. 4:3–5)

• God gave them over to a depraved mind. (Vv. 28–32)
  (Eph. 2:1–3)

3.  God’s grace for all people. 
(Rom. 3:9–10; 21–26; Rom. 5:8–10; 1 Cor. 6:9–11)

• All of us have sinned.

• All of us are condemned.

• All of us are saved by grace.

• All our sins are washed away.

Take-away questions:

1. Is there an excuse for not trusting in the Lord?

2. What kind of excuses do people give?

3. What is an idol?

4. What is the lie that is exchanged for the truth?

5. What does Paul mean by “God gave them over”?

6. Is theology and sexual morality or immorality related? How?

7. Is sexual sin harmful?

8. Why do we want others to approve and applaud our sin?

9. Is there a sin that God will not forgive?
