You Can’t Be Good Enough
The BIG
Idea Team, Individual and Family Study Guide
Please take time to run
through this study guide with your team, on your own, or with your family so
that you can further apply and process the BIG Idea.
Big Idea:
Trusting
in God’s unconditional love for us brings comfort in the areas we feel
unworthy.
Key Verse:
Read Hebrews 9:15 (The
Message)
Through the Spirit, Christ offered himself as an unblemished sacrifice,
freeing us from all those dead-end efforts to make ourselves respectable, so
that we can live all out for God.
The
Scoop:
Trying to juggle everything life
throws at you can feel like a three-ring circus. No matter how hard you try,
you'll never be able to handle it on your own.
At
first glance, this seems like bad news.
When we begin to look at things with a God perspective we can be
relieved knowing that we don’t have to measure up. If we can learn to live with the peace of not having to
measure up, we can be free to better serve God, not out of an effort to gain
His approval, but instead, out of the approval that we have through the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
1.
Who’s approval do you seek most?
2.
What are some things we do to try to earn the approval of God?
3.
Are there areas in your life where you have been trying to make yourself
feel more acceptable to God?
What’s
Next? (take home/further processing/application)
In
your personal time this week, read Galatians 2:17-21 and ask God to give you
confidence through His unconditional love. Think through who you can share the message of God’s grace
with this week.
