How God Breaks Through Group Guide
January 7, 2024

Ice breaker:
Have you ever had the experience of getting stuck somewhere (airport, in bad weather, in an unexpected place, etc.…)?

Discussion Questions:
1) Did anything stick out to you from the message, or did you have any questions?
2) Scotty said humans have a natural bent towards self-justifying and relating to God through obedience. Have you ever seen this dynamic in your life?
3) Scotty quoted Tim Keller saying, when we use obedience to get acceptance, we become anxious and selfish. How did that strike you? Have you seen that in your life?
4) Why is it hard to believe that God accepts us unconditionally?
5) Scotty said the that the Gospel is we are accepted therefore we get to obey. Emphasizing the “get to,” how does that change how we think about obedience?
6) How does confession play a role in our understanding we’ve been accepted by God? What are the steps that go into a real confession?

Bible Project:
You can get an overview of Galatians through the Bible Project found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmx4UjRFp0M

Pray:
Go around and share prayer requests and close the time by praying for one another.

For Next Week:
Try to read Galatians before we meet for next week’s sermon. It would be a great goal to read it once a week over the course of this series.
