This Sunday, Lead Pastor Joe Valenti teaches that remembering who we were apart from Christ keeps us humble, compassionate, and dependent on God’s mercy rather than self-righteousness. We learn that because God saves us by His grace alone and makes us new through the work of the Holy Spirit, we can extend the same mercy, kindness, and hope to others that He first shows to us.
