God Can Give Me Grace

1. How would it make you feel and how would you respond if you got a total surprise, out-of-the-blue present for no reason, like you did nothing to earn or deserve it? 

Read together Psalm 103:1-14

2. Compassion means that God sees the suffering we experience because of sin and takes action to help, which He does through forgiveness. He is not easily angered, and He has so much love! How can remembering God’s compassion and grace help when you make wrong choices? 

3. Psalm 103 talks about how God is forgiving. What do you think it is like to experience God’s forgiveness? What happens and what changes?

Message Title: We Are DEVOTED

Key Scripture: Acts 2:37–47

1. Growing Beyond Sunday: At Destiny Church, we offer several resources to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus throughout the week—including our 5-Day Devotionals, Bible Reading Plan, and 11:1 discipleship groups. Have you been engaging with any of these resources? If so, how are they helping you grow? If not, what's one resource you could begin using this week?

2. Devotion Begins With Surrender: In Acts 2, before the believers devoted themselves to the ways of Jesus, they first surrendered their lives to Him. What's the difference between simply believing in Jesus and living a surrendered life? Is there an area of your life where you struggle to fully surrender to Him?

3. Allowing God's Word to Shape Us: We talked about the importance of not just reading God's Word, but allowing God's Word to read us. What does that mean to you? How can we move beyond simply gaining biblical knowledge to actually allowing Scripture to transform the way we live?

4. Devoted to One Another: The early church didn't simply attend gatherings together—they shared life, encouraged one another, and cared for each other's needs. How does that compare to the way we experience church today? What could we do differently to build deeper, more meaningful relationships with other believers?

5. What Could God Do Through Us? Imagine what Destiny Church could look like one year from now if every person moved from simply attending church to living as a devoted disciple of Jesus. What might change in our families, relationships, and community? More personally, what's one area where you believe God is inviting you into deeper devotion right now?

3. When the Israelites were bitten by snakes, they could look at the bronze snake and be healed. What can we do when we make wrong choices?

Message Title: We Are FAMILY

Read Ephesians 2:19-20 

1. Can you remember a time when you felt like an outsider or walked into a room where you didn't know anyone? What made you feel welcomed or unwelcome?

2. Paul says we are no longer strangers and foreigners but members of God's family. How does that change the way you see yourself and your relationship with God?

God Can Make Me Whole

1. If you could have a “fresh start” button where you could rewind 10 minutes and try something again, when would you want to use it?

Re-read our Bible Story from John 18:15-27; 21:12-19. 

2. Jesus talked with Peter after he lied about knowing Jesus. Instead of being mad, Jesus welcomed Peter and gave him an important job. Jesus showed Peter that he was forgiven and could have a fresh start. How can this Bible story remind you about the way God sees you and your sin?

3. When Jesus forgave Peter, Jesus made Peter whole again and gave him a fresh start. What do you think is different between being broken and not forgiven versus being forgiven and made whole by God?

4. How can what we learned from today’s Bible story help someone who feels ashamed or embarrassed because of wrong choices?

Message Title: We Are UNITED

1. The sermon says, “Everything we do must always point people back to Jesus and the finished work of the cross.” How does unity help us accomplish that mission?

2. Ephesians 4:1–6 emphasizes humility, gentleness, patience, and making allowance for one another. Which of these is easiest for you, and which is most challenging? Why?

3. Jesus prayed in John 17 that His followers would be one. Why do you think unity among believers was important enough for Jesus to pray about before going to the cross?

4. “We desperately need each other.” Why is it sometimes difficult for us to admit that we need other people?

5. Complete this sentence: “If I want to help Destiny Church become more united, I need to __________.”

God Can Forgive Me

1. How can moving from an old grade to a new grade feel like a fresh start?

2. Jesus told a man who could not walk that his sins were forgiven, which was the most important gift the man could receive. Jesus showed that He has the power to forgive sins and give people a fresh start, not just on the outside but on the inside too. Why is forgiveness such good news?

3. God made us to have a relationship with Him, but sin breaks that relationship. The good news is that God sent His Son, Jesus, to make the way for us to be forgiven and have a forever relationship with Him. What is different when God forgives us and gives us a fresh start?

4. Sometimes we might not think our choices are wrong. While not every choice we make is a wrong choice, we all sin and make wrong choices. These can be wrong thoughts, wrong attitudes, or wrong actions. How does it help to know that even when we disobey God, Jesus can still forgive us and give us a fresh start?
