[Sunday] Reformation - Sola Gratia - Freely

Overturning the common belief that grace is reluctantly earned, the freely given reality of the Gospel is that God's salvation flows from His eager delight to love and forgive us.

Questions for the Week: Reformation - Sola Gratia

1. Do you personally find it easier to focus on your sinfulness and the need for grace, or on God's active delight in extending that grace?

2. God's grace is rooted in His delight. What does it mean for your daily life to know that God doesn't just tolerate you, but actively delights in showing you kindness and forgiveness? (Psalm 145:8)

3. Read Ephesians 2:1-10.  The sermon contrasted living under the "burden" of earning grace with living under the "delight" of free grace. What are some ways you might still unconsciously try to "pay" for your sins today?

4. Esau met Jacob, his deceiver, with grace and delight. How can you practically extend that same kind of delighted, extravagant forgiveness to someone who has wronged you?
