A Life God Can Bless – Part 2

Paul preached a powerful sermon on the grace of God that forgives us and empowers us to live the life He has called us to live.

1️⃣ What stood out to you most from Sunday’s message and why?

Romans 7:18–19 reminds us that we can genuinely desire to do what is right, yet struggle to live it out in our own strength.
2️⃣ Is there an area in your life where you genuinely want to obey God, but struggle to?

Grace is not God lowering the standard—it is His power enabling us to live according to His Word.
3️⃣ How have you experienced God’s supernatural enablement to do something you know you could not do in your own strength?

God’s grace forgives us when we fail.
4️⃣ How should knowing that, as God’s child, your eternal destiny is secure, change the way you live?

2 Corinthians 1:20 says God’s promises are “Yes” in Christ.
5️⃣ Share one promise you feel God has given you.
