+## Big Idea
+Every Christian is a slave.
+
+##Read: 
+[Romans 6:15-23](
+
+## Discussion Questions
+1. What insight, principle, or observation from this week’s sermon was the most helpful, eye-
+opening, or troubling? Explain.
+2. What does Paul mean in Romans 6:15 when he asks, “Shall we sin because we are not
+under the law but under grace?”
+3. How does Paul use the analogy of slavery in verses 16-18? What does it mean to be a
+“slave to righteousness”?
+4. In verse 21, Paul asks, “What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are
+now ashamed of?” How does this question help us understand the consequences of sin?
+5. Romans 6:23 states, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
+Christ Jesus our Lord.” How does this verse summarize the message of the passage, and
+why is it significant?
+
+## Next Steps
+This week, spend a few minutes each day reading Romans 6:15-23 and ask God to deepen your
+understanding of being “alive to God” and “enslaved to righteousness.” Reflect on how you can
+actively live out this truth in your daily choices. Try sharing one insight or change you’ve
+experienced with someone who could encourage you in this journey.
+
+## Prayer Focus
+As you enter the month of November, make the focus of your prayers expressing gratitude to God
+for all He’s done in bringing you from death to life
