    This sermon presents 5 characteristics of grace to help you identify genuine, Biblical, saving grace.

    This sermon is about the topic of grace and its characteristics. Grace is the unmerited favor of God, meaning it is something we don't earn or deserve. It is a gift from God, given freely to us.
