Read Hebrews 4: 14-16.
1. What does the word “grace” mean to you?
2. How is grace different than “mercy” that we discussed last week?
How are they similar?
3. Pastor Mick said one of his seminary leaders used to say, “The
answer is always grace.” What do you think of that sentiment? Do
you agree? Why/why not?
4. What do you think about the Wesleyan understanding of grace as
Prevenient Grace, Justifying Grace, and Sanctifying Grace? What do
each of these forms of grace represent? How have you experienced
each form of grace in your own life?
5. What does it mean to “approach the throne of grace with
confidence”? Are you able to do that? Why/why not?
6. Read Ephesians 2: 8-9. What does this passage mean to you?
7. Read 2 Corinthians 12: 9. Have you ever felt like God has said the
same thing to you that God said to Paul? How does that make you
feel?
8. Read 2 Corinthians 5: 17. How is God’s grace “sufficient” to make
you a new creation? What does life as a “new creation” look like?
9. How might the Communion Table represent God’s Throne of Grace?
How should we come to this Table?
10. Who is invited to the Table? Who made up the guest list?
Prayer for the Week:
Almighty God, we thank you for your grace. We thank you for the gifts
of forgiveness and salvation that we could never earn, but freely receive
through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. We were once dead in
our sins, but you have made us alive in Christ. Indeed, we are new
creations in Christ because of your grace. Remind us that you invite us
to approach your throne of grace with confidence. You are the solution
to that God-shaped hole in our hearts. Give us ears to hear your still
small voice calling us to you. Give us wisdom and courage to respond to
you by surrendering our lives to you. And when we are afraid to really
do this in earnest, remind us that your grace is sufficient and we need
not be afraid. Thank you, Lord, for the gift of your amazing grace. We
pray all of this in the name of the One who makes it possible, Jesus the
Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, now
and forever. Amen.
