Big Idea: For change to be spiritual transformation it has to be spiritual.
Icebreaker: What are some good habits that you already have in your life?
Key Scripture:
Romans 7:15, 19, 24-25; 1 Corinthians 15:9-10; Zechariah 4:6; 2 Corinthians 12:9
Discussion Questions:
- Which part of this message was most impactful for you and why?
- Read Zechariah 4:6. What are some specific areas in your life where you're needing God's power?
- Have you recently started something with great intentions, only to fall short or give up? How could a "God through me" approach help you find the change you're looking for?
- Share about a time when you made a lasting change in your life. What role did God have in that decision?
- Are you trying to meet a need or relieve a hurt without God's grace? What would it look like to take a step toward His grace this week?
MOVING FORWARD
Father, thank you for working through us. Sometimes, we try to make changes in our own strength, and it rarely works. Please help us embrace the true, transformation that comes through knowing you. In Jesus' name, amen.
