Well, let me invite you to turn in your Bibles to Romans 12 for a time of study in the word this morning, Romans chapter. 12 We are, we've been looking at this amazing chapter, learning how to unleash the power and the glories and the freedom of the gospel in our life. And in Romans 12, in our community with one another, but also in our relationships, all of our relationships. And in the last section of Romans 12, we are learning.
About how to respond to and be overcomers in the face of wrongs that are done against us. And if you want to give a title to what we're talking about today, it would be Overcoming Evil with Good Part 3. And we've looked at the first two parts over the last two Sundays. Today we come to verse 20.
We'll be looking at verse 20 and And 21, we live in a world, guys, where there is evil, where there are wrongs that are committed. Some of those wrongs are committed against us, and virtually all of us in this room have had significant wrongs done against us in our past, and we carry the wounds and the scars of those wrongs with us up to the present time. some of us in this room are right now dealing with situations where someone has wronged us recently or is wronging and hurting us, and maybe you even came in this morning just stewing over some wrong that somebody has done against you and just struggling with how do I respond to this. This is dragging me down and defeating me.
Well, Paul gets underneath that burden in this section of Romans 12, and wants to help us and to provide us a strategy for how to not just cope with the wrongs that are done against us, how not just to tolerate The wrongs that are done against us, but actually to overcome those wrongs that, that we experience. We come to verse 20 this morning. And I just want to warn you up front that I think verses 1718, and 19, while difficult, are somewhat understandable. Verse 20 gets us into the ridiculous category....
