God’s Amazing Grace PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 29, 2025

God’s grace is a free gift we cannot earn; through faith, we receive His love and acceptance, not by our efforts but by His mercy.

Be Practical, Not Legalistic Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
