Receive God’s Extraordinary Gift

This week we happily dive into the subject of grace, learning that while we’re undeserving, that doesn’t mean we’re worthless — far from it! So how is grace like a spoonful of peanut butter but unlike free Costco samples? Why does grace overcome our timidity before God? And what one thing can I do today to love Jesus more? We talk about rationing grace, settling into grace, and growing in grace. The story of Simon and the “sinful woman” who loved Jesus teaches us how grace leads to action, and some Deep Thoughts about God’s “amazing grace” reminds us why the Lord’s Supper is such a fitting way to begin our week.

The Big Idea: Recognizing the greatness of our sins and the extravagance of the gift takes us from entitlement to gratitude and from timidity to confidence.
