QUESTIONS FOR STUDY AND DISCUSSION

1. Read verse 20. Who all does Paul summon, as it were? What is Paul’s concluding question at the end of verse 20, and what does he mean?

2. Read verse 21. What does man not know according to worldly wisdom? How can you truly come to know God and be saved from sin by Him? How does Romans 10:13-17 help clarify?

Ekklesia Muskogee is a reformed baptist church that gathers for worship in Muskogee, Oklahoma. We confess the 1689 second London baptist confession of faith. We affirm the five solas of the Reformation as well as the doctrines of grace (otherwise known as the five points of Calvinism), and each of our pastors would not be ashamed to be called a Calvinist. We are a church led by elders, of which there is a plurality (also called pastors and overseers in the Scriptures). Our mission is to make disciples, love cities, and plant churches.
