Sermons on 30 Things Grace Can Do:

Embracing Grace

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

The vast majority of people do not "accept" Christ (Luke 4:24) but refuse the "favor" (grace) He offers (v. 19). God has sent Christ to offer His grace. We must embrace the grace offered in Christ. Luke shows us how.

There’s a key word in this passage that I would like to point out. It is not obvious in the English, so it’s a bit tricky. But the word ‘favor’ in verse 19 and the word ‘acceptable’ in verse 24 render the same Greek word, which is dektos. In fact, in the King James Version it is translated ...read more

By Grace Comes Joy Series

The Throne Of Grace Series

Contributed by Robert Higgins on May 22, 2008

We see a brand new Christian and we never tell them how to embrace the grace of God as their own on a daily basis. Why is that?? Maybe it is because we aren’t really all that certain of how to do it either!

A Burrito And The Gospel – Philippians 2:19-30

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Feb 2, 2022

God is saying I'm looking for people who are compassionate because I have a message called the gospel that I want to advance. I want to spread it around and give it to people. That's the message. Now the question is, are we in that place where we can take that message and run with it?
