Treasuring God's Grace Series

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Oct 25, 2012

Prodigality, Love And Grace Series

Contributed by Garth Wehrfritz- Hanson on Mar 5, 2016

A few details of this beautiful parable that we may miss or take for granted because we think the story is so familiar.

The so-called parable of the prodigal son is one of the—if not the—most beautiful stories in the whole Bible. God, it is pointed out, is like the father in the story. The beauty and power of this story is made very clear in the description and actions of the father. One of the dangers ...read more

Nicodemus: The Scandal Of Grace

Grace - The Untold Story

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017

There are those who falsely teach that God's grace, through Christ Jesus, secures salvation without any change in character and lifestyle. Such a view ignores passages which explicitly state that grace demands a transformation.

Grace is a constant theme in the Bible, and it culminates in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus (John 1:17). By His mercy, God accepted Christ's sufferings and death as the punishment for sin that we all deserved. By His grace (unmerited favor), God extended to those who put their trust ...read more
