From the Sermon
Questions for the Week
Describe a time you saw someone hoarding more than they should have. What motivated them to act in this manner?
Read Genesis 3:1-13. How does the voice of the serpent try to tempt Eve? Who do you think the serpent wants Eve to trust?
When have you been tempted by this same voice, trying to convince you that you don’t have enough? How does this voice move you to act towards possessions?
In times of crisis, a scarcity mindset—focusing on what we don’t have—can easily cause us to cling to worldly goods. Do you experience this? What would you and others around you gain by trusting God’s generous love instead?

What Had happened at Grace this week.
[Sunday] Little Judges - The Standard - 8th Commandment
Look, there's another one. Little judges are everywhere, working so hard to put people in their place. Perhaps Jesus knew what he was talking about when he said get the plank out of your own eye first.
Service [above] Sermon releases at 10pm [under]
Questions for the Week
What is the human temptation when talking about others?
Read Matthew 7:1-14. According to Jesus, why is it bad for us to speak poorly of others and judge them?
How does breaking the 8th commandment hurt relationships around you?
Jesus is the ultimate judge. Because of the cross, what is his final judgment for you? Because of the cross, how will Jesus speak of you?

Thank you for your past and continual prayers and financial support to Grace and your community.

What Had happened at Grace this week.
[Sunday] Under Roman Roads - God's Greater Story - Romans 13
There they were, placing another Christian friend in the catacombs under the roads of Rome. They were facing persecution from all sides, and things looked bleak. They then looked at the new painting on the wall. It was Jesus the savant of all, encouraging them, too, to be servants of all.
Service [above] Sermon releases at 10pm [under]
Questions for the Week
What do you think makes a good political leader?
Read Romans 13:1-14. How does Paul offer a different perspective of our leaders? Who ultimately is in charge?
What does knowing that “there is no authority except from God and those that exist have been instituted by God” (Romans 13:1b) enable you to do?
What would the world look like if Chrstians focused more on loving our neighbors, one on one, rather than fighting over politics?

What Had happened at Grace this week.
[Sunday] Molded - God's Greater Story - Romans 12
The power of the world is chiseled in stone, but the power of God is molded in flesh and blood. Let us pray we don’t seek our hope in cold, chiseled stone, but may the Spirit guide and mold us to be servants of God’s creation.
Service [above] Sermon releases at 10pm [under]
Questions for the Week
Describe a time when someone embraced you with warmth and love.
Read Romans 12:9-21. Compare and contrast Paul’s words with where we typically find power in the world.
Share some times when Jesus embodies the attitude Paul describes in Scripture. How has he shown you this attitude?

What Had happened at Grace this week.
[Sunday] Grafted- God's Greater Story - Romans 11
The story is backwards. Usually the stump is wild and the grafted branches are the good, fruit-bearing kind. But here, the wild branches (usually less fruitful) are the ones which have been grafted in. Paul is telling us, the wild ones, to be humble because we have been grafted into the original tree of promise.
