Jan 28, 2013 - Jan 29, 2013 Romans 6:1-15; Galatians 5:13-14 Pushed to its logical end, a proper emphasis on the grace of God can result in its being taken advantage of. As a matter of fact, this not only can occur, it is happening; grace is being taken advantage of. At this very moment, there are those in the family of God who have truly believed and, as a result, have been “justified by faith,” yet they have chosen a lifestyle that does not square with Scripture. If and when they are asked, “Why do you…?” and “How can you…?” they will usually use the word grace somewhere in their answer. The Grace Awakening read more

Jan 24, 2013 - Jan 25, 2013 Romans 4:1-5; 5:1-2; Galatians 2:20 The study of one's generational roots has become popular in the last several decades. Many have spent a lot of time, effort, and money to learn the details of the cultural background of their family history. Knowledge about our origins gives us a deeper sense of our identity, a better awareness of our purpose. It is equally helpful to learn about our spiritual roots, to find out how those spiritual awakenings began, especially the awakenings that helped shape the faith of people who came before us. From those spiritual roots, we can find the direct origins of the grace we embrace today. The Grace Awakening read more

Jan 21, 2013 - Jan 23, 2013 Ephesians 2:1-13 Grace: God's free and abundant demonstration of love to those who do not deserve it, have not earned it, and cannot repay it. Grace is acceptance without reservation and forgiveness without condemnation and pardon without probation. Even the sinner—lost, lustful, disobedient, and spiritually dead—can be the recipient of this grace…unconditionally. What an offer! Grace receives one of its clearest expressions in the New Testament promises regarding Christ's all-sufficient payment for sin at the cross (Romans 5:20-21). Let's seek to understand God's free gift of grace. The Grace Awakening

Jan 17, 2013 - Jan 18, 2013 Selected Scriptures What is grace? Ask any theologian or serious Bible student that question and you will likely hear a two-word answer: unmerited favour. That may be true, but it is not entirely complete. As we are going to learn in this series, grace surrounds—in fact, envelopes—us every day of our lives. It is behind all of God's actions, it prompts His movements in our direction, it takes the galling exactness out of our response to please Him, and it relieves us from the choking grip of needless guilt.
