06JAN2019 | Grace is Given, Not Earned
We begin a new series this week, HATE: Enough is Enough, by drawing upon words from the apostle Paul, whose past was the embodiment of one who would be considered by many faithful at the time as one who had done so much to destroy the church that grace was far beyond him. And, yet, we see from Paul's own words how grace is transformational even in those who may not fit the right profile. Through this, we begin a series about a Christian's witness in a world that seems to trade on hate by looking at how there is not one of us who is not a recipient of God's undeserved grace and through that reality are called to extend grace to others.
