Oases Of Grace

Contributed by Mary Erickson on Jun 29, 2020

The Scandal Of Grace Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Dec 4, 2024

This message is going to challenge you to appreciate the generosity of God’s grace. The grace of God is a radical and scandalous gift that levels the spiritual playing field.

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

Liberty And Grace

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Mar 20, 2023

Does grace mean that we are free to do whatever we want, even sin? Let's see what the Bible says about this in Romans 6.

There is a certain group of Christianity today that says that since we are under grace, we are free to live however we want, even if we live in sin. In other words, grace allows you to live in sin! This has always been a problem, even back during the Apostle Paul’s day. And so, he deals with this ...read more

Amazing Grace

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Apr 22, 2023

Are you flawless, without blemish, perfect in every way? If we will admit it, none of us are. God wants those without blemish. If we are not, how does God accept us who are flawed? It is by His plan through His only son, Jesus Christ, by whom we can obtain Amazing Grace and be seen without blemish.

When I was dating, and I'm sure for you as with me, my significant other thought I was perfect. Is that the way it was for you? Notice my wife shaking her head. The truth, she did; but she will no longer admit it. I knew she was not perfect. I told her so on many occasions. It was something ...read more

The Grace Of Submission.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 4, 2025

"But He giveth more grace" (James 4:6).

THE GRACE OF SUBMISSION. James 4:1-10. James has been contrasting the ‘earthly, sensual, devilish’ wisdom that engenders ‘envying and strife’ (cf. James 3:14-16) with the ‘peaceable’ wisdom of God (cf. James 3:17-18). JAMES 4:1. With a startling suddenness, James asks, “From whence come wars ...read more
