Grace

By Eric Ayers

 

Grace is one of the most beautiful words in the Christian faith.  It’s God’s unearned, undeserved, and unrepayable favor toward us.  Grace is not a reward for good behavior-it’s a gift for the undeserving.

1.       Grace Save Us

We often think we must “earn” God’s love, but salvation is not a paycheck-it’s a present

·       Illustration: Imagine a drowning person.  They can’t save themselves; they need someone to reach in and pull them out.  That’s what God’s grace does for us in Christ.

·       Grace meets us at our worst and offers us the best

2.       Grace Transforms Us

Grace doesn’t just forgive-It changes

·       Titus 2:11-12 says grace teaches us to say “no” to ungodliness and “yes” to godly living.

·       Gace is not a license to sin; it’s the power to live free from sin.

3.       Grace Sustains Us

Life is full of trails, but grace is God’s strength in our weakness.

·       2 Corinthians 12:9- “My grace is sufficient for your, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”

·       When we feel like giving up, grace whispers, “I’m not done with you yet.”

 

Conclusion

 

Grace is the heartbeat of the Gospel.  It saves the sinner, transforms the believer, and sustains they weary.

Today, no matter your past, God’s grace is enough for you.  All you have to do is receive it.

Closing Prayer: 

Lord, thank you for Your amazing grace.  Help us to live in it, walk in it, and share it with others.  May we never forget that we are saved, not by our works, but by Your love and mercy. Amen.

Greetings Faith Family,

 

God has an amazing plan for each of you. As we draw closer to Christ, we will realize that God can take each of us and use us in extraordinary ways for His Glory. The Bible states in The Gospel of John chapter 6 and verse 9 "There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves and two fishes, but what are they among so many? Well, we know how that story ended, Jesus took the little and fed thousands of people. Just imagine what He can do with your life and mine as we yield to Him.

Greetings Faith Family,

 

Here we are at the very beginning of the month of September.  This year is certainly flying by. As we begin to look towards the close of this year and the beginning of a new year, I trust that our thoughts will be on serving the Lord.  The Bible states in the Book of Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."  The Bible declares that we as believers are commissioned to serve.  Please take the time to read and to study Matthew 10:5-8.  There you will find:

 

1. A Mandate to Pursue

 

2. A Message to Proclaim

 

3, A Ministry to Perform

 

May we seek to serve the Lord and bring glory to Him.

 

 

By His Grace and for His Glory,

Eric
