SESSION 2 Character
FOR GROUP PARTICIPATION These elements of the study are best used with others in a group setting.
How Did It Go Last Week? Share your successes and trials with the group. (10 minutes) • How did the practical application of accepting your limitations play out in your daily life this week? What was uncomfortable to come face-to-face with as you observed your limitations? • Who are the wise, godly people in your life to surround yourself with? What can their influence practically do in your life? • Did you make any changes to your priorities this week in order to value who and what is most important? And God Said… Read aloud 2 Peter 1:3–9 and Galatians 2:20–21 . What is the Point? Read these statements aloud and keep them in mind during the video. • The greatest gospel problem among many believers is a gap in understanding the present benefits of the gospel. • Many Christians understand salvation-past (forgiveness) and salvation-future (eternal life), but miss salvation-present (transforming grace for right now). Without understanding present grace, ministry becomes driven by law—“you should / you didn’t”—instead of being driven by grace that transforms. • The gospel isn’t just the entrance and exit… it’s the transforming reality for right here, right now. Petition Pray this together aloud. • The Gospel is an Identity. • The Gospel is a Lifestyle. • The Gospel is a Lens. Lord, help me to understand who I truly am in Christ, and to live out my identity in him proactively each day. Help me to walk in a manner worthy of the gospel, so that it shapes my relationships, decisions, attitudes, hopes, and dreams. Give me the grace and strength to put on my “gospel glasses” each morning so that I might see the world through those lenses and live every day in worship and heart-felt service to you. In Jesus’ name, amen. Hear the Word Watch the video. (1 hour 10 minutes)
