Session 2 | Unashamed!

God is love. Everything God has ever done or ever will do is motivated purely by love. And discipleship is about becoming more and more like Him. So our starting point in any situation is always love—and our middle point and our end point, too! Knowing our new identity resolves the shame we experience because of sin so that we can be motivated only by love.

2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 10:19–22

Session 3 | Innocent!

God does not want us to be motivated by guilt but wants us to know that all of our sins—past, present, and future—have been completely and utterly dealt with by Christ’s death on the cross so that we can stand confidently before God.

Philippians 3:4–6, Colossians 2:13–14, Luke 7:48–50

Session 4 | Victorious!

What we do comes from who we are. When we chose to follow Jesus, we became totally different people to who we were before. We are no longer sinners. We are holy ones. But truth doesn’t set you free unless you know it. Jesus’ death and resurrection dealt with the penalty AND the power of sin, so we might be victorious.

Romans 6:3–14, 7:14–24

Session 5 | Courageous!

God has prepared things for you to do that will make your life count for eternity. He’s always looking for ways to help you grow so that you can do them in His strength. We will experience fear at many points in our lives, and it will try to make us hold back from doing what God wants us to do. Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's making the right choice in the face of it.

Joshua 1:5–6, Hebrews 13:5–8, 2 Timothy 1:7

Session 6 | Calm!

The uncertainties we face can make us anxious, but living in anxiety makes us “double-minded” and unstable and provides an opportunity for Satan to take advantage of us. If you are feeling habitually anxious, it is a strong indication that you are still trying to handle your life yourself, and this is essentially pride. God’s goal for your life is that you become more and more like Him in character.

1 Peter 5:6–8, Isaiah 30:15, Psalm 46:10

Session 7 | Fruitful!

If we want to be fruitful, our focus needs not to be on bearing fruit but on staying connected to Jesus. Apart from Him we can do nothing of any eternal value. Fruitfulness comes when we submit to God and what He says in His Word, when we set aside our pride and choose to humble ourselves before Him.

Philippians 2:2–8, John 15:1–5, Hebrews 12:5–11, Matthew 11:28–30, Psalm 131

Session 8 | Peacemaker!

When you came to Christ, you became part of the most significant body of people that have ever lived. The Church is the body of Christ—we literally are the flesh and blood through whom God works in the world. There is no Plan B!

Matthew 28:18–20, John 13:35, 17:21, 1 Corinthians 5:9–11, Revelation 19:6–8

The Steps To Experiencing God's Grace

A kind and gentle ministry session that will help you deal with the things that get in the way of experiencing God’s grace. It is designed to be run on an “away day” retreat or as a "Personal Freedom Appointment" with an Encourager and Prayer Partner after Session 8 of the Grace Course.

Stronghold-Busting Session

We are transformed by the renewing of our mind, a lifelong process of recognizing faulty thinking we have developed by comparing it to the truth in God’s Word, and then consciously choosing to bring our thinking into line with what God says is true.

Romans 12:1–2, 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, Ephesians 2:1–3, Colossians 2:8
