Pr. Nick preached on Grace Alone from Ephesians 2:1-10 in our new sermon series, The Solas. 

Grace ALONE - Through nothing of our own doing, we have the favor of God through Jesus. We are accepted by God.

We measure favor in terms of what we do, what we have or don’t have. We measure favor in terms of our behavior. Because we live in a world where the mentality is that we must earn or deserve things.

Favor in God’s eyes is not measured by what we have on earth or how things are going… and most certainly it is not measured by what we’ve done or haven't done.

Many of us see the road to Christian maturity as one we work towards by our own efforts but in actuality self-sufficiency and self-reliance has no need for God’ s grace. But when God’s grace fills our lives, and we are open to His leading… we begin to see more and more… 

…That the grace that was extended to us is a great joy to share with those in our lives and a world longing for something lasting and eternal.

People who live in Grace are living in favor — so therefore they are…

…Not bound by self-conscious burdens

…Not bound by the disapproval of others or the disapproval of their own thinking

…They are living in forgiveness and are free from living in the thinking they have to impress and appease God. Rather they live in the freedom of their forgiveness and are grateful for the mercy of God. Living in grace is living with a focus on Jesus and His righteousness. 

Grace Alone - You can’t earn it and you don’t deserve it…

…Yet through faith in Jesus, you can have the eternal life and relationship… He offers to you freely.  

We would love to prayer with you today!
