Group Discussion & Life Challenge
Use these notes as discussion prompts for your group, or in your personal time with God.
Connect:
Get to know each other. Connect, warm up to each other, fellowship.
Care:
Carry each other's burdens. Share life’s challenges and practice Soul Care. Pray together.
Challenge:
Dive into God’s Word. Use these discussion questions. Learn from each other's insight
1) If someone asks you in an elevator to describe grace, and you only have 30 seconds, how would you describe it?
2) Pastor Bryce described grace as God's unmerited favor towards us, in us, and working through us. As you look back on your life, how have you seen God's unmerited favor?
3) If the Bible describes you as God's "handiwork" or "workmanship", how does that help illustrate God’s relationship with you and His desire for you? Go a step further and explore how important this is in relation to your understanding of who God is?
4) When is it hardest for you to be gracious with others, and why?
5) Take a moment to write down and share with the group your plan for modeling "Great Grace" to others. Will you demonstrate this at work, home, in your marriage, or as you volunteer?
Clarify:
Does anyone need clarity on something? Are there any big God questions you are wrestling with?
Celebrate:
Celebrate life’s successes and God’s provision. Worship God’s presence. Time to brag about God.

PRAYER OF SALVATION
Jesus, I believe you came because you love us, you died on the cross because you love us and you rose again because you desired to make a way for me to be with you now and in Heaven. I am sorry for sinning and going my own way, please forgive me. God be the King of my life, I invite you right now to come and change my heart and life. Amen

If you prayed the Prayer of Salvation, do these three things:
1. Tell someone that you started a relationship with Jesus Christ.
2. Talk to God and tell him about your life. Just talk to him like you would to a friend because HE is your friend,
