What gives inspiration to the Psalms? Is it David? Is it us? Now that the veil (2 Cor. 3:13–16) has been lifted, how might we read these texts with the clarity that Christ provides? In so doing, we see it’s not just David or we who at times feel forsaken, but Jesus who has been utterly forsaken for our sake. He has not hidden himself in times of trouble but bore the full weight of it, not our sin in part, but the whole!

Questions

• How does this psalm sing God’s grace over us?

This is our last sermon dedicated to the book of Romans. Rather than see this as a type of finish line, might we instead see how God is just getting started. May this gospel message be imprinted deeper upon our hearts. May our church live by faith in Jesus Christ. May we stand justified by his grace as a gift. May we believe that what God has done he will continue to do. In other words, God’s not done with us; he’s just getting started! For all of this and more, we give God all the glory!

Questions:

• Might we give thanks to God, even today, for this wonderful book?
• Might we ascribe all glory to him alone?

We’re nearing the end of our time in the book of Romans. Throughout it, there have been countless reminders of God’s faithfulness and goodness. We’ve pushed deeper into the gospel and life in his Spirit. But we’re not done. Even as Paul recounts his travel plans, we see afresh God’s heart to save and refresh and provide for his people.

Questions:

• Is it (y)our desire for the gospel to be shared with all?
• Is it (y)our desire to bring refreshment to some within your community?
• Is it (y)our desire to meet needs and encourage one another—mission to one?
