+## Ice Breaker
+What’s a product or gadget you once thought would make life easier but ended up being more
+trouble than it was worth?
+
+## Big Idea
+The struggle with sin is undeniable, but you are not without hope.
+
+## Read: 
+[Romans 7:13-25](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ROM.7.ESV)
+
+## Discussion Questions
+1. Why does Paul emphasize that sin, not the law, is the source of death (v. 13)?
+2. What does Paul mean by, “I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate” (v. 15)?
+3. Why does Paul say, “Nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh” (v. 18)?
+4. What does Paul mean by “Who will deliver me from this body of death?” (v. 24), and how
+does his answer (v. 25) bring hope?
+5. How does this passage prepare us for the hope and freedom described in Romans 8?
+
+## Next Steps
+Reflect on a specific struggle with sin and surrender it to God in prayer, trusting in His strength.
+Memorize Romans 7:25 to remind yourself of the victory found in Christ, and encourage someone
+this week by sharing how God is working in your life.
+
+## Prayer Focus
+Many are traveling to spend time with family over Thanksgiving weekend. Pray for safe travels and
+opportunities for CrossPointe members to share the gospel with family.
