Message: Grace
Speaker: Tim Bounds
Read: John 10:10, Ephesians 2:1-9, 3:14-21, Romans 7:24, Luke 15
Reflect:
1. What was your favorite memory from school?
2. What stuck out to you in the prayer found in Ephesians 3:14-21? Power? Immeasurable? Inner being? Something else?
3. What do you make of the promise in Ephesians 3:20? Have you ever struggled to believe that? How so?
4. We are all guilty of sin, but sometimes that message has come across in a self-righteous, condemning way without any grace. How has that impacted your understanding of sin and grace? Has it hindered you from experiencing grace? What about people you care about?
5. Have you ever been lost - or lost someone you were in charge of?
6. How did your experience the story of the lost girl in Detroit?
Do:
1. Read Luke 15 this week
2. Memorize some of Ephesians 3:14-21 - beginning with one verse per day.
"...because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved."
Ephesians 2:4-5
