The church should be more than just nice and doing nice things. The church is called to have an otherworldly quality of grace. Grace is an overused word in society and even amongst Christians is often defined narrowly as simply “unmerited favor”. Grace is a dynamic word in Scripture that could be described as the freely given life of God flowing from God to us. Grace is God’s wisdom and power and love all wrapped up together. It is God’s sufficiency working on our behalf. The beautiful thing about grace is that it is available and accessible to all. Grace can be welcomed or rejected, neglected or received, which is why some churches are graceless and others are grace filled. Grace is given to those who pursue it. God gives grace to the humble. This message is a strong encouragement about our desperate need for grace and what we need to do to grow in grace.
