Your Great Grace, with Dr. John Morris

​

Introduction

​

1. Has God ever called you at a specific moment in time to do something special for Him? If so, what was it, and how did you re­spond? As you recall that moment now, do you wish you had done things better or differently? Do you think God’s grace might be able to prepare you for the next time He calls your name? Are you will­ing to try?

2. Dr. Morris writes, “No matter where you are on your jour­ney of faith, and no matter how old or young you may be, there are souls God has entrusted to you.” Do you agree? Why or why not?

3. Do you believe the souls of your loved ones are worth fighting for? If so, are you willing to be part of the supernatural battle for their souls (Ephesians 6:10–12)? Could learning more about God’s grace, and then unlocking the power of His grace in your life, be a first step toward winning that battle? Are you willing to try?

4. Dr. Morris concludes the Introduction to this book with the words, “My heartfelt prayer is that you will rediscover, or perhaps discover for the first time, the beauty of God’s grace, and that, with all your heart, you will commit to unlocking the power of His grace in your life so you can unleash the fullness of His blessings for you and all those you love.” How do you plan to respond to this prayer?

​

As you prepare to read Part II of this book, what are your initial thoughts about Dr. Morris’s statement that “once you have seen the incredible power of God’s grace at work in the lives of others as recorded in the Word of God and throughout salvation his­tory, you will settle for nothing less in your life and in the lives of all those you love”?

​

​

Chapter 12

​

1. What do the events in the lives of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, as well as the events in the life of Asia Bibi, mean for your faith journey? What do they say to you about the power of God’s grace?

2. When faced with adversity, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed­nego refused to do anything which would have placed them in con­flict with God’s laws. Have you ever heard or read about similar cir­cumstances in Christian history? If so, what was the outcome, both short term and long term? Have you ever been faced with such choices in your own life? If so, what was the outcome, both short term and long term?

3. The Word of God tells us that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego responded to King Nebuchadnezzar by declaring, “We do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up [emphasis added].” What does this declaration, especially the italicized words, tell you about their faith in God? What does it tell you about the power of God’s grace?

4. Do you agree with Dr. Morris’s conclusion, “On a pivotal day in salvation history more than twenty-six centuries ago, three young men stood up for God because God’s grace stood up for them”? Why or why not? How does your answer affect your view of God and the power of His grace?

​

Chapter 13

​

1. When Abraham (Abram) first received God’s plan for his life, he was content with it, but, as time passed and he and Sarah (Sarai) remained childless, they began to have doubts. Can you re­call a time in your life when you were content with what you be­lieved was God’s plan for you, but, as time passed, you began to have second thoughts? What happened, and why? What was the fi­nal outcome?

2. In Chapter 13, Dr. Morris states, “The failure of Abram and Sarai to await the fulfillment of God’s perfect plan at the per­fect time caused hardship for all those involved, but it did not stop God or His grace.” Why do you think doing things according to God’s will can bring bless­ings for all those involved, while doing things our own way and in our own time can cause hardship for all those involved?

3. Do you agree with Dr. Morris’s statement, “Like Abraham and Sarah, we may be tempted to give up on God, but God will never give up on us”? Why or why not? How does your answer affect your view of God and the power of His grace?

4. Eventually, Abraham chose God’s way and time over his own way and time, and, in return, God blessed him with a son, Isaac, from whose lineage came the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 1:1–16). What does this tell you about God and the power of His grace?

​

Chapter 14

2. Do you know someone who is struggling with a situation that he or she cannot overcome by human effort? Do you think God’s grace can make a difference? Why or why not? If so, will you share this good news with them?

3. Do you believe God’s grace carries with it the power to overcome all obstacles and chase away all fears? Why or why not? How does your answer affect your view of God and the power of His grace?

4. Do you agree with Dr. Morris’s statement, “God created the cosmos, gave life to mankind, stood by us even when we sinned, and ultimately built a bridge between Heaven and earth using only two pieces of wood in the form of a cross – and His grace still has the power to do great things in your life and in the lives of all your loved ones”? Why or why not? How does your answer affect your view of God and the power of His grace?

​

Chapter 15

​

1. At the beginning of Chapter 15, Dr. Morris states, “God does not need headline-grabbing events in history or in our own lives in order to demonstrate the power of His grace. Sometimes, it all be­gins with a simple invitation.” After reading Chapter 15 and re­flecting on it, do you agree or disagree? Why? How does your an­swer affect your view of God’s grace and what you must do to un­lock its power in your life?

2. Which one of the three New Testament stories about invi­ta­tions from God as described in Chapter 15 (Matthew, Zacchaeus, and the Samaritan woman) is closest to your heart? Why? Do you think God cares any less about you than he cared about them? Why or why not?

3. Do you agree with Dr. Morris’s statement, “As He did for Matthew, Zacchaeus, and the Samaritan woman, your Heavenly Father, through His Son Jesus Christ, invites you into a personal union with Him that will outshine all human love and outlast all hu­man relationships”? Why or why not? How does your answer affect your view of God and the power of His grace?

4. Are you willing to believe that the name on the invitation from God is your name? Why or why not? How does your answer affect your view of God and the power of His grace?

​

Chapter 16

​

1. What images do the words “divine surgery” bring to your mind? Are the images comforting or frightening? Why?

2. When we call God our “Divine Surgeon” or our “Divine Physician,” what are we saying about Him? Do you see a connec­tion between these titles and the power of God’s grace in your life? Why or why not?

3. Do you agree with Dr. Morris’s statement, “When God’s grace finds you and the power of His grace seeks to heal you, you can either work with Him or you can walk away from Him”? Why or why not? How does your answer affect your view of God and the power of His grace?

4. Is there anything in your life that needs spiritual healing or divine surgery? If so, are you willing to give it to God and allow Him to begin working on you? Why or why not?

​

Chapter 17

​

1. When you think about death (we all do, from time to time), what are some of the emotions you experience? Why?

2. When we call God “Death Slayer,” what are we say­ing about Him? Do you see a connection between this title and the power of God’s grace in your life? Why or why not?

3. Do you believe in the historical reality that Jesus died on a cross and then rose from the dead? Why or why not? How does your answer affect your faith in God’s power over death? Why?

4. Do you agree with Dr. Morris’s statement, “God’s grace covers everyone and everything, but it is especially powerful against death itself”? Why or why not? How does your answer affect your view of God and the power of His grace?

​

Chapter 18

​

1. After reading Chapter 18 and reflecting on it, do you want to unlock the power of God’s grace in your life? Why or why not? Do you think the power of God’s grace needs to be unlocked in your life beginning now, rather than later, for the benefit of your soul and the souls of all your loved ones? Why or why not?

2. Dr. Morris uses the Parable of the Sower (Luke 8:4–15) to help us understand why we need to prepare our hearts to receive God’s grace so that God’s grace can have the maximum effect in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones. Using the images from the Parable of the Sower, which type of soil best represented your heart (hard soil, rocky soil, thorny soil, or good, fertile soil) when you began reading this book? Has the state of your heart changed at all since then? Why or why not?

3. What is your goal for preparing your heart, and the hearts of your loved ones, to receive God’s grace: hard soil, rocky soil, thorny soil, or good, fertile soil? Why? What is your plan for achieving this goal?

4. Considering that none of us is promised a long life or even another day on this earth, how important to you is unlocking the power of God’s grace in your life and thereby unleashing the full­ness of His blessings for you and all your loved ones? Why?

​

Chapter 19

​

1. Why is focusing on God, not your own circum­stances, so important for unlocking the power of His grace? During the most difficult times, would you rather focus on God or yourself? Why?

2. Why is trusting God so important for unlocking the power of His grace? During the most difficult times, would you rather trust God or yourself? Why?

3. Why is waiting patiently on God as His plans for you unfold so important for unlocking the power of His grace? During the most difficult times, would you rather rely on God’s plans or your plans? Why?

4. Dr. Morris cites numerous examples from the Word of God to confirm the three keys for unlocking the power of God’s grace in your life. Of all those examples, which one speaks loudest or clear­est to your heart? Why?

​

Chapter 20

​

1. Do you remember the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995? If so, what are your memories of it and the days which followed? If not, is there any significant event in your life­time that affected you greatly at the time it occurred? What are your memories of it and the days which followed? Did the experience, that is, the bombing of the Murrah Building or the event you otherwise identified, have any lasting ef­fect on you or your outlook on life? Why?

2. Do you have a fear of heights? Can you imagine the fear which gripped Brian Espy as he stood in the rubble on the fifth floor of the Murrah Building and waited to be rescued? Why do you think he was able to set aside his fear and allow himself to be rescued?

3. Why do you think we fear surrendering our lives to God? Why do you think we prefer to focus on our own plans rather than focusing on God and His plans for us?

4. Do you agree with Dr. Morris’s statement, “In our journey of life on this earth, we sometimes need a human rescuer to save us when we are overwhelmed by human evil or natural disaster [but] we always need a Divine Rescuer to save us from this fallen world”? Why or why not? How does your answer affect your view of God and His grace?

​

Chapter 21

​

1. Have you ever faced a large task that you initially thought would be impossible to accomplish? If so, did you make, or con­sider making, a checklist of smaller, more man­ageable actions you could take in order to accomplish the task? Can you see the benefit of hav­ing a checklist of smaller, more manageable actions you can take in order to unlock the power of God’s grace in your life?

2. Do you agree with Dr. Morris’s statement, “Once you have accepted the salvation offered by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, the most important action you can take, and the most important de­cision you can make, is to avoid sin by obeying God”? Why or why not?

3. What do you think are some of the characteristics of true repentance after sinning, that is, after disobeying God? Can you see a connection between refusing to repent and not being able to unlock the full power of God’s grace in your life? Why or why not?

4. Do you read the Word of God at least once each week? If not, would you be willing to begin doing so if you knew that reading and reflecting on it could help you unlock the power of God’s grace in your life and thereby unleash the fullness of His blessings for you and all your loved ones? Why or why not?

3. What do you think is the greatest benefit of being grateful to God for everything He has given you? Why?

4. What do you think ingratitude does to your efforts to unlock the power of God’s grace in your life? Why?

​

Chapter 23

​

1. In spiritual warfare, why is patience so important to achiev­ing final victory?

2. Do you agree with Dr. Morris’s statement, “One of the most important ways to survive [life’s most difficult] moments and not lose either your faith or your mind is to be still: stop, take a breath, and make time for God as you patiently wait for Him to act”? Why or why not?

3. How do actions such as prayer and reading the Word of God allow you to be still, and yet be active, in the presence of God?

4. How does waiting patiently on God as His plans for you unfold show that you trust God to act in the perfect way and at the perfect time in response to your needs and the needs of your loved ones?

​

Chapter 24

​

2. Do you think forgiveness is part of Jesus’s command to love each other as He has loved us (John 15:12)? Why? How does your answer affect whether you will choose to forgive someone who has hurt you?

3. What do you believe is God’s plan for us as Christians in the world today? Do you think He expects us to act differently than those who do not know Him or have not experienced His grace? Can we be “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14) if we refuse to forgive those who have hurt us? Does choosing not to forgive glo­rify our Heavenly Father (Matthew 5:16)?

4. Why do you think the Beatitudes of Jesus (Matthew 5:3–10) do not contain a blessing for those who seek vengeance or refuse to forgive?

​

Chapter 25

​

1. Have you ever been part of a strained situation in which the tension was broken when someone told a joke or did something silly? Why do you think laughter worked when even the most elo­quent of words did not?

Chapter 26

​

1. Most of us find it easy to praise God when times are good, but we often forget to praise Him – or are unable to praise Him – during the storms of life. Why do you think this happens? What can you do to make sure you and your loved ones praise God at all times and in all situations, especially during the difficult times?

2. Do you agree with the statement, “To dance in the rain, you must first learn to praise God in the storm”? Why or why not? Was there ever a time in your life when relying completely on God was the only way you got through a difficult season or situation? If so, what does that tell you about God and His grace?

​

Chapter 28

​

1. Many of our human celebrations are based on important events in our past, including individual moments (such as birth­days and anniversaries), national moments (such as July 4, 1776), and religious moments (such as the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ). What happens to their importance in our lives if we forget their historical significance, such as when, for example, an anni­ver­sary becomes just another day of the year, the Fourth of July be­comes just an opportunity for a family cookout or a day at the lake, or Christmas becomes just an excuse to exchange gifts and enjoy a day off from work?

2. Have you ever forgotten an anniversary or birthday which should have been important to you? How did you reconcile not re­mem­bering it despite its significance in your life? What do we risk when extraordinary moments of life become just ordinary moments of life?

3. What happened when the Israelites stopped re­mem­bering the great deeds of the Lord that made them God’s chosen people? Do you think there is a connection between remembering God’s mighty deeds and remembering to honor Him with the glory, grat­itude, and praise He deserves? Why or why not? Do you think those who forget God’s signs and won­ders will even­tually forget Him as well? Why or why not? What do your an­swers tell you about what you need to do as you strive to unlock the power of God’s grace in your life?

4. Do you think remembering – and celebrating – God’s super­natural help, com­fort, and consolation in your life is important to your goal of unlock­ing the power of His grace by (a) focusing on Him, (b) trusting Him, and (c) waiting patiently on Him as His plans for you unfold? Why or why not?

​

Chapter 29

​

1. Are you familiar with the concept of stewardship, that is, sharing your time, talent, and treasure with God and with others? After read­ing Chapter 29 and reflecting on it, why do you think stewardship – as an ongoing part of Christian life, not just as a concept – is important for unlock­ing the power of God’s grace in your life?

2. God has instructed you to love Him with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength, and then to love others as yourself (Mark 12:28–31). How does shar­ing your gifts of time, talent, and treasure with God and with others demon­strate your obedi­ence to these two commands?

3. How does sharing your gifts of time, talent, and treasure with God and with others also demonstrate your desire to unlock the power of God’s grace in your life?

4. There is a saying that sharing is caring. Do you think this is true for God, that is, He shares His life, His blessings, and His grace with you because He cares about you? Why or why not? What does your sharing say about how much you care about God and others?

​

Chapter 30

​

1. Which type of music is your favorite? Why? Does it bring you joy and peace? Why or why not? If not, is there something else, something better, to which you could be listening?

2. Do you listen to Christian music other than during worship services? Why or why not? After reading Chapter 30 and reflecting on it, can you see some of the benefits of devoting your ears, as well as your heart, to God? Based on your answer, will you be listening more often to Christian music in the future? Why or why not?

3. God gave us five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste) so we could perceive, and delight in, His creation. Do you think all five senses should be used to honor God at all times, or can we exclude some of them at least some of the time? Why? Should we treat our ears like our eyes and protect them from the profane and ungodly parts of this fallen world (Matthew 6:22–23)? Why or why not? If you are not already protecting your ears as well as your eyes, will you resolve to begin doing so today?

4. In your efforts to unlock the power of God’s grace in your life, what will be the role of Christian music? Why?

​

Chapter 31

​

1. Do you attend communal worship, that is, worship as part of a community of believers in Jesus Christ, on a regular basis? If not, why not? Is there anything you can do to try to attend commu­nal worship on a more regular basis?

2. When you think about Christian worship, what image comes first to your mind? Why? Is it a positive image or a negative one? Why? If it is a negative image, is there anything you can do to try to change this? Why or why not?

3. Are you aware of the ongoing persecution of Chris­tians in the world today? If so, how would you describe the strength of their faith as they continue to worship despite threats of arrest, imprison­ment, torture, and even death? If they could, what do you think they would say to Christians in other parts of the world who choose to skip weekly worship for a few extra hours of sleep or to watch a sport­ing event on television? Why?

4. How would you respond to Dr. Morris’s statement, as well as his follow-up question, “For Christians gathered in communal wor­ship, the community serves, supports, strengthens, equips, em­powers, and sends forth its members to do the will of God. Humans fight earthly battles as armies and navies; why, then, would we want to engage in spiritual battles against Satan one-on-one?”

​

Chapter 32

​

1. In Chapter 1 of this Study Guide, you were asked whether you had a definition or description of grace that you could share with someone interested in learning more about Christianity in gen­eral or God’s grace in particular. Now that you have finished read­ing Dr. Morris’s book, what would your definition or description of God’s grace be?

2. In Chapter 1 of this Study Guide, you were also asked to identify one thing you wanted most to learn about God’s grace.

Why or why not?

3. In Chapter 1 of this Study Guide, you were also asked whether you thought learning about God’s grace was an end in itself, or whether you thought it was more of a doorway to having a better relationship with, or deeper understanding of, God. Now that you have finished reading Dr. Morris’s book, has your opinion changed? If so, how – and why? In any event, do you believe you are now on a path, or a clearer path, to having a better relationship with, or deep­er understanding of, God? If so, how – and why?

4. At the end of Chapter 32, Dr. Morris prays, “May God give you everything you need to make [your] com­mitments [to God] a reality so that, seeking Him with all your heart, you can – and will – unlock the power of His grace in your life and unleash the fullness of His blessings for you and all those you love.” As of this moment in time, what are your plans for unlocking the power of God’s grace in your life and unleashing the fullness of His blessings for you and all your loved ones? Why?
