My Story

1. Have you ever got a second chance in life for something that you didn't deserve?  Why are "second chances" such an important concept within Christianity?

2. Why does accepting the gift of grace through Jesus feel so unnatural to us? Why are we often tempted to approach God with a works-based mindset, and why does that completely miss the point of grace?

Diving Deeper

1. Read Romans 11:1-6.  How does this passage teach us about God's heart towards sinners?

2. Read Romans 11:17-21.  How does this passage teach us about God's grace towards gentiles?  How does it teach us to remain humble instead of prideful?

3. Read Romans 11:22-24.  What is God's outlook towards Jewish people who reject Him?  What is His plan for the nation of Israel?

Taking it Home

1. What is something that you need to confess/repent of in order to live in the grace of God's second chances?  How does God's heart give us confidence to confess our sins to Him?

2. Who are you going to encourage this week that it's never too late to come to God, no matter what their life has looked like until that point?
