Our grace to ourselves

Series: Amazing Grace

Date preached: 10th September 2023

Grace is a word that gets used a lot around churches. But what does grace really mean, and more importantly, how should it affect the way we live? Last week we talked about sharing God’s grace with others. For many of us, one of the people we most need to give God’s grace to … is ourselves! In this message we explore what it means to be gracious with ourselves and how we can do it.

Questions to reflect on and discuss from this message:

1. Can you think of a time when you were gracious with yourself? When are you tempted to be least gracious to yourself?

2. What words that God speaks about you are most important for you to hear?

3. Matt talked about three ways we practice grace toward ourselves: knowing what God says about you; listening to what God says about you: and surrounding yourself with people who will remind you what God says about you. Which of these is most important for you to practice?

TIDE Church is a diverse community of people on a mission to follow the teaching and life of Jesus. We are a Christian church based in Adelaide, Australia who are sharing the good news of Jesus with people everywhere.
