    Simply put, grace is God’s best for our worst.

    Grace In Christ Text: Eph. 2:1-10 Introduction 1. Illustration: Put bluntly: the American church today accepts grace in theory but denies it practice.

We aren’t worshipping an event, but a Person. For us to grasp the significance of Easter, we really need to ...read more
