OUTLINE & REFLECTION QUESTIONS

Holding Grace and Truth
Primary Text: John 1:14

1. Grace Creates Space for People to Come Close
John 1:14–17; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:8–9
2. Truth Confronts What Keeps Us from Freedom

3. Jesus Shows Us How to Hold Both
John 8:1–11; Colossians 4:5–6; Galatians 6:1

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

1. Why is it difficult to hold grace and truth together when dealing with someone’s failure or harmful behavior?

2. Do you naturally lean more toward extending grace or confronting with truth? What are the strengths and dangers of that tendency?

3. How did Jesus demonstrate both grace and truth in His response to the woman caught in adultery in John 8:1–11?

4. Is there a relationship or situation where God is calling you to speak the truth more lovingly—or extend grace without ignoring necessary accountability?

5. What practical changes can help your words, attitude, and actions reflect Jesus, who was “full of grace and truth”?

The Power of Meekness
Primary Text: Matthew 5:5
Big Idea: Meekness is not weakness; it is strength surrendered to God, disciplined under pressure, and secure enough to trust Him with the outcome.

3. Meekness Receives the Promise Without Grasping
Matthew 5:5; Psalm 37:5–11; Romans 12:17–21

Discussion Questions
1. How does biblical meekness differ from weakness, passivity, or fear?
2. What area of your strength, authority, or influence needs to come under greater submission to God?
3. How do you normally respond when you feel criticized, disrespected, or misunderstood?
4. What practical steps can help you pause and respond with wisdom rather than reacting in anger?
5. Where is God asking you to stop forcing an outcome and trust Him with your inheritance?
