    Sermon 1 - God Knows What He Is Looking For Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 26, 2026

    Sustaining Grace PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 169 views

    God’s grace meets us in our weakness, offering love, strength, and acceptance, empowering us to face life’s struggles with hope and courage.

    If grace had a face, I think it would be smiling at you today. Not a plastic grin, but the kind that crinkles the eyes and warms the room.
