Epic Bible Study

We are a weekly Bible Study group led by Pastor Darren

that meets in B102 on Saturday mornings at 11:00. Our

focus is on better understanding the characters and

narratives within the Old Testament in order to better

understand the New Testament. We use Dr. Sandra

Richter’s “Epic of Eden” book and video series. There

are short daily lessons to do at home that will help to

facilitate class discussion and further understanding.

Each study is 12 weeks, and missed sessions can be

made up by watching the video series outside of class.

For more information on any of these groups, scan the QR Codes

Men’s Breakfast

Men, start your day right! Meet with other brothers

for fellowship over a simple breakfast as we share

with each other our victories and concerns. We will

spend some time in prayer together offering to God

our praise and petitions before starting out day each

Thursday. We meet at Ikari Coffee House near Mac-

kay Hospital each Thursday ay 7am till around 8:30am.

Women’s Bible Study

The Women's Bible Study meets every Wednesday at

7pm in the Hsinchu Science Park. We will begin Jen Wil-

kins’ in-depth Bible Study on the book of James beginning

on Wednesday, September 5th.

Once a month, we have dinner together and we are now

looking for opportunities to serve together. Women of all

ages are welcome to attend.

Abundant Grace and Righteous Reign Romans 5:9-21

Introduction Defining Freedom Defining Liberty 1. Saving Love Provided (5:9-11) A. Why did Christ give His life for us? B. When did Christ die for us? C. How did Christ give His life for us? 2. Stages of Salvation A. Justification B. Sanctification C. Glorification 3. Legacy of Sin (5:12-14) A. The presence of sin—everywhere B. The Penalty of Sin—death (wages) C. Power of sin—”reigning” 4. Power of a Supernatural Life (5:15-21) A. The gift is not like the trespass B. What the gift has done—Released from blame and bondage C. Power of grace—Eternal Life

Questions for Understanding 1. Who is responsible for bringing sin into the world 2. What is the evidence that everyone has sinned? (5:12) 3. Was there sin before the Old Testament Law was given? 4. How is the Gift of God different than the result of the one man’s sin? 5. If we know sin is all around us by the presence of death, what then is the mark or sign of God’s grace in a Christian’s life (Romans 5:21)? List at least three changes you desire to take place in your life because of these verses: a.____________________________________________________________________ b.____________________________________________________________________ c. ____________________________________________________________________
