-
joyless religion
-
a low-grade fever of guilt
-
being defined by your past

feeling unable to say no
-
thinking you’re not enough

HOW CAN I BEST USE THIS IN MY SMALL GROUP? If your church uses RightNow Media, you will have access to the videos for the starter course and the full Grace Course. Each topic is covered sequentially in both courses and the YouVersion app also covers the same topics as the course each week. So, you can choose which resources work best for your group format. Each week you can cover a topic in the course via video and use the participants guide to reinforce the teaching. Then have the participants enjoy learning more by reading a daily Nugget of Grace in the YouVersion App. For those who want to soak in grace more or want more information before teaching, The Grace Connection offers a more in-depth teaching on grace. The Wonder of Grace – A 40-Devotional Journey is a great follow-up to reinforce the teaching provided in either video course.
