+
+## Big Idea
+God’s wrath cannot be ignored.
+
+## Read: 
+[Romans 1:18]((https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ROM.1.ESV))
+
+## Discussion Questions
+1. In what ways do we see God's wrath being revealed in the world today, and how does
+this align with the depiction of God’s wrath in Romans 1:18?
+2. Romans 1:18 states that God’s wrath comes from heaven against all godlessness and
+wickedness of people who suppress the truth. How can we understand and explain the
+justification of God's wrath in a contemporary context where the idea of divine wrath
+might be challenging or misunderstood?
+3. How does Paul establish that God's wrath is not arbitrary but is directed specifically at
+human actions that involve suppressing the truth? Discuss examples of how truth is
+suppressed in society today and relate this to the concept of divine retribution.
+4. Considering the nature of God's wrath as revealed, justified, and rightly directed, how
+should this influence the behavior and beliefs of Christians today? How can believers
+reconcile the concept of a loving God with the reality of God's wrath?
+
+## Next Steps
+How often do you think of God as a wrathful God? This week, consider the implications of God’s
+wrath and thank Him that He has forgiven you and adopted you into His family.
