Icebreaker – “Mercy Moments”
“Share a funny or memorable time when things could have gone wrong, but somehow worked out — maybe a missed flight that led to a blessing, a last-minute change of plans that saved you from trouble, or an unexpected delay that turned out to be grace in disguise.”
Discussion Questions
1. Mercy in the Middle of Mayhem
Revelation 8:6–7 (NLT)
How do the trumpet blasts show both God’s justice and His mercy? Why does it matter that God warns before He acts?
2. The Kindness That Leads Us Home
Romans 2:4 (NLT)
How does knowing that God’s kindness leads us to repentance reshape how we see His warnings and correction?
3. Standing in Grace, Not Guilt
Romans 5:1–2 (NLT)
What does it look like to stand in grace when the world feels unstable? How can that awareness change your daily mindset?
4. Freedom Over Fear
Romans 6:14 (NLT)
When you know that you live under grace, not the law, how does that free you from striving, guilt, or fear — especially when you think about the end times?
5. Unshakeable Confidence
Romans 8:38–39 (NLT)
If nothing can separate us from God’s love, what should our posture be when the world around us panics? How can grace make us a voice of peace for others?
Prayer Focus
Pray for:
- Eyes to see God’s mercy even in moments of warning or correction.
