Any Other Gospel Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 3, 2011

Without attention and energy, we humans will default back to our flesh pleasing ways even after coming to Jesus. That's where the lie of legalism is so pervasive. Paul begins his battle against legalism by contrasting human achievement with grace.

We humans love to accomplish things. It’s so we can tell whether we are a success or not. This is also true when it comes to pleasing God. “Lord, I prayed and read your Word for an hour today.” “Father, I refrained from clobbering that guy who cut in front of me.” We ...read more

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Feb 7, 2012

Extending Grace To Others Series

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Jan 5, 2009

We are an avenue of Gods grace to other Christians, even the ones who disappoint or hurt us.

This story quite honestly is a troubling one to me. Can I say that? Is it okay for me to say that?
