Amazing Grace Sermon Series"

"Holy Living Grace"

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3:14-19

Sermon Notes from Rev. Mike Smith

 

     This Sunday we continue our sermon series on “Amazing Grace.”  Previously we learned that it is prevenient grace that prepares us for and draws us into a deeper relationship with God.  It’s the aspect of grace that often we are able to look back and see how God was present, but at the time we weren’t aware of His influence in our lives.  While justifying grace is the facet of grace of which we are most familiar, of which we sing about and talk about most often.  It’s the grace of God that cleanses and restores us in relationship with God, and is present at conversion.  It’s the grace that justifies us before God. 

     Although there are different aspects of grace, it is still one grace from God working in and through us at different points in our journey. 

     During the worship service on Sunday, we will examine the third dimension of grace, sanctifying grace.  It is this aspect of grace that gives us strength to live the life God calls each and every Christian to follow.  It the grace that continues in our faith journey and is evidenced by the good we do for God and others.  It sustains us in relationship with God and each other. 

     May Sunday be a day where we acknowledge and appreciate God’s grace working in us, through us and with us, as we examine the final facet of grace, sanctifying grace, or “Holy Living Grace.”Although there are different aspects of grace, it is still one grace from God working in and through us at different points in our journey.
