T.G.W. Commitment to Grace

Sermon by Lay Leader Kelly Butz

Grace...A short one syllable word that is often times misused and misunderstood. Our culture has cheapened it, isolated it from God and has made it all about what we do and do not deserve. But God's grace is none of those things. It's not cheap, separated from God or tied to what we deserve. Simply put, Grace is God's unmerited favor toward us. Favor that we don't deserve and favor that has nothing to do with our human efforts. It is God's free gift to us! Salvation and Faith are the book ends that make Grace so powerful. Who we are in Christ and what we believe hinges upon whether or not we can receive God's grace fully and then extend it to others. What would it look like if everything we did, all the work God has for us to do, was rooted in His grace? It would mean that our world and our lives would undergo a transformation of Biblical proportions all for the Glory of God. Come on Sunday and rest in the fullness of God's Grace!
