*we apologize for the audio issues in today's recording*
One of the Apostle Peter’s last recorded words was a command to grow in grace. Why, of all things, would he choose this thought to be his farewell and would it make any difference to you personally today? Today we conclude our God’s Assignment to NAC Series with the final piece of our vision: Everyone growing in grace.

WARM UP
What has been one of the most gracious things done for you? How did it impact you?
READ
II Peter 3:18; Luke 6:27-36
TAKEAWAY
Grace is:
1. Shocking
2. An action
3. De-escalating
4. Generous
5. Unnatural
6. Inspired
Key thought: Shame and honor culture vs. Dignity culture
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
1. Why do you think Peter commanded the church to “grow in grace?”
2. What evidence for growth in grace would you expect at NAC? What would be the signs that we are “growing in grace?”
APPLICATION
Who are the “enemies” you sense God is calling you to show grace to? How will you do that?
FOR MENTORING
Who do you NOT want to be gracious toward? Why? How can that change?
