Portraits of Grace Teaching Assets
Ten Bible Characters Who Experienced God at Work in Moments of Challenge

by Paul Chappell

God’s grace is a dynamic change agent that works in our lives to transform us into the image of Christ. Scripture is full of stories of what God’s grace looked like in individual lives and specific situations. We learn through the stories of the Bible how God worked in people’s lives in their most challenging moments and extreme difficulties. But more than seeing how God worked in miraculous ways in their circumstances, we see how He changed the lives of the people themselves who experienced His grace. 

These stories are instructive portraits of God’s desire to work in you and His abounding grace to grow and strengthen you. In these ten lessons, discover God’s grace at work in the lives of Hannah, Joshua, Gideon, Daniel, Esther, Peter, Stephen, and others. See the reflection of your own challenges and struggles in their lives, and see how God’s grace gives strength and victory.
