AMA Week 1
Big Idea: Every honest question deserves an honest answer!
1. How can God “regret” in Genesis
2 Cor
For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly grief produces death. 
Romans
Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
2. How can there be sin in a perfect universe? 
Isaiah
Be joyful, rejoice together, you ruins of Jerusalem! For the Lord has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem. 
1 John
Everyone who commits sin practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
3. If God is all-powerful, why would he sacrifice his son?
Romans
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 
Revelation
And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
Next Steps:
I lay down my life to Jesus again this week.
I need Jesus to recreate my soul today.

How does God view your past mistakes? Use Scripture to support your answer. 
What is the least cost your smallest sin requires?
Spend time thanking God for his sacrificial love this week.
