We serve a gracious God who loves us deeply and works through our greatest struggles, even when our lives are messy. When we humble ourselves before God and confess our sins and brokenness, He begins to work in our lives, bringing healing and transformation. His grace turns our mess into a message, a testimony of His faithfulness and love. The Bible is filled with examples of God's grace in the midst of human messiness. From Abraham's family line in Genesis to the Israelites in Exodus, and from David in 2 Samuel to the parable of the lost son in Luke 15, God's grace is a recurring theme. The parable of the lost son is particularly impactful, illustrating God's unconditional love and readiness to forgive and restore us, no matter how far we've strayed. Discussion Questions: 1.
