Keep growing in your relationship with Jesus: Take the message with you into your week. Reflect on the Bible passage and sermon (posts Sun. afternoon), then use the ideas below to help you talk it over with your friends, coworkers, family, or Grow Group.

Icebreaker idea: What’s one way someone in your life has shown you grace (undeserved favor/kindness)?

A way to pray: Pray for one another to be people of grace to those God has placed in our paths, as we seek to see 2,000 people by 2022 baptized and growing in relationship with Jesus through the Word, prayer, and community.

• How do I react toward others when they let me down? What does this response reveal about me? What would it look like to lean on the Lord in these situations instead?

• Grace (undeserved favor/kindness) bookends this letter (2 Timothy 1:2, 4:22). How can I begin and end with grace in my own interactions with others? And what can we do practically to help each other remember and be changed by grace every day?
