Sermons on Precious Grace:

Giving With Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 24, 2003

God not only required a tithe in the Old Testament, He challenged His people to respond to Him when He says, “Test me in this.” This is the only time in the Bible when God tells us to test Him.

Giving With Grace That drama really captures the different attitudes that people have about giving. Some feel pressured or guilty, while others of us find a lot of joy when we give ­ if we remember to bring our wallets! That reminds me of a man and his son who went to church together. On their ...read more

The Search For Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

None of us should become so familiar with God’s grace that we stop searching for it or appreciating it. ­

The Search for Grace This past week I had the opportunity to lead chapel services at Evenglow Retirement Center.

The Scandal Of Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

Grace is scandalous. It’s hard to accept, hard to believe, and hard to receive. Grace shocks us in what it offers. It is truly not of this world. It frightens us with what it does for sinners.

(MacArthur’s New Testament Commentary was used in preparing this message.) The Scandal of Grace In this series, we’ve been learning about the topic of grace. As we look at how Jesus dealt with people and at some of His parables, we’re discovering that these “Grace Encounters” radically ...read more

The Scope Of Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

Many people consider it the greatest short story ever written because it speaks so truthfully to the human condition. It’s really the story of a father with two sons. One sinned when he left ­ the other sinned while staying home. We’re going to look at

The Scope of Grace Since most of you are familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son, I thought I would read a different version of it ­ it’s called the “Prodigal Son in the Key of F.” Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his father to fork over his farthings. Fast he ...read more

The Standard Of Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

If you and I want to have relationships that last for the long haul, then we must be willing to extend forgiveness to others. Here’s another way to say it: In every relationship you have, you will constantly be called on to forgive and to ask for forgiv

The Standards of Grace I heard about a man who really loved dogs. He devoted his life to them ­ he read about them, studied them, and even gave talks about them to other dog lovers. One day he decided to pour a new sidewalk in front of his house. His neighbor watched from his window as he ...read more

Saved By Grace!

Contributed by Mitchell Skelton on Jun 10, 2003

Believe it or not, Jesus never said Grace! It was used of Him, but never by Him. Don’t misunderstand; He taught it, He lived it; He just never said it. One of the places he taught it was in Luke 7:36–50.

No Cheap Grace

Contributed by Marianne Unger on Jun 22, 2003

A look at the Wisdom of Solomon literature and a tie into Revelation with a promise that Christ has conquered death and payed the price for our sin.
