Week 1: Balancing Grace and Truth

Bob Russell

What was one of the best things that happened in your week this past week? Briefly share with your group.

Discussion:

1. What made you laugh from this week’s sermon?

 2. Read the key text passage from Scripture, John 8:1-11 (NIV) What jumps out to you? (You can use BibleGateway.com if you don’t have a Bible handy.)

3. Has there been a situation or circumstance in your own life where you experienced what these verses are teaching? If so, describe that for your group.

4. What was your main takeaway from this weekend’s message?

5. What do you sense God is prompting you to do in response to hearing this message and in light of today’s group discussion? What’s one obstacle that you will possibly need to overcome? How can our group help you as you face that challenge?

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” — Romans 10:17 (NIV)

Wrapping It Up:

Take a moment to share any good news reports or answers to previous prayer requests. Then spend time praying for each other as a group so that God might encourage and equip you in your faith journey, and to help more people find and follow God.

“We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.” — 2 Thessalonians 1:3 (NIV)
