groups Discussion Questions

1. If you could have a personal sculptor who could instantly improve one thing about you—not your appearance, but a skill, habit, or personality trait—what would you choose? 


2. The talk described a cycle many of us experience: guilt, trying harder, growing tired, quitting, and feeling guilty again. Have you ever found yourself in this cycle in your faith or another area of life? What tends to keep you stuck there? 


3. The talk reminded us of two powerful words: “But God.” Even when sin left us unable to rescue ourselves, God stepped in with love, mercy, and grace. When is it hardest for you to believe that God’s grace is enough for you? 


4. The talk said, “We don’t have to work FOR GRACE, but we ought to continue to work FROM GRACE.” What is the difference between those two ways of living? Where might you be striving to prove yourself to God rather than responding to what He has already done for you? 


5. Read Titus 3:3–8. 


A. What do these verses teach us about what God has done for us and why we cannot earn our salvation? 


B. Verse 8 encourages believers to devote themselves to doing good. What is one practical way you can let God’s grace shape how you treat or serve someone this week? 


6. The talk described Jesus as the center of our family, career, and friendships—not simply another box to check off. If you honestly examined your life right now, which area is hardest to surrender fully to Jesus? What is one specific step you could take to invite Him into that area this week?
