Main Idea: God has a message for those who reject him, and for those who don’t.
Takeaway: On our own we cannot “be enough” but God has not left us on our own.
Memory verse: But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-6

Questions
1. Stories about people “falling from grace” seem to be a part of our news almost daily. What should be our attitude/response to these? (Read Proverbs 24:17 and Galatians 6:1 for some guidance.)
2. What are some ways we might start to show contempt for the things of God? What might be some warning signs that we are headed down that slope?
3. Have you ever had to speak a hard truth to someone with more authority or power than you? What was that like? If you’ve been on the receiving end of that (you were the one spoken to by someone in a lower position), what was that like?
4. None of us are perfect followers of Jesus. Left to ourselves we’d all be “found wanting.” How do you deal with feelings of not being “good enough”? Where or when do you most feel that way, if you do? How has your relationship with Jesus helped you, or not, with those feelings?
Table Discussion Question: Imagine that God sent you a message, not of warning, but of encouragement. What do you think he would say to you?
