Here are some questions to help you process this message and apply it to your life:

1. When you are faced with a good news/bad news scenario which do you want to hear first? Why?

2. The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness. (Romans 1:18)

What thoughts or images come to mind when you read “the wrath of God”? What do you see in the world or in your life that you believe are examples of the consequences of suppressing or pushing aside the truth of God?

3. …since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:19-20). In what ways have you seen evidence of God in nature?

4. In the message we heard how there is a tension between what we want to do and what we know God wants us to do, and in order to solve that tension we simply change God into a god that agrees with me. Paul said, “They (people) exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator.” What are some examples of when we change God into a god that agrees with me and what I want to do?

5. What was it that stood out for you the most in this week's message?

Challenge: What is going on in your life right now that you KNOW conflicts with what God says is right and true? Talk to God about it and ask him for the strength to do what you can’t do on your own.
