Lesson 3 of 11: Grace

Grace is God’s unearned and undeserved love in which God does the work of seeking, finding, forgiving, and celebrating us, even when we are lost and cannot save ourselves. It means that God is the hero of the story—reaching down to us in mercy rather than waiting for us to earn our way back.

DISCUSSION PROMPTS FOR MENTORS

These are only suggestions. The idea is to discuss grace.

• Find the song, "Amazing Grace." How does the hymn connect to the understanding of grace found here?

• What does it mean to be lost? What does it mean to be found?

• Jesus uses a shepherd, a woman, and two sons to explain God's effort to find the lost. Create your own lost and found story. What metaphor would you use?
