Grace Chapel

How are we justified in faith? What does Jesus death on the cross mean for us. In this sermon we'll understand that Jesus made grace visible.

magine the next 25 years…what will Grace Chapel look like? Or, imagine the next year. We begin a new chapter at Grace. God wants to lead us on an adventure. The Apostle Paul’s life and ministry was filled with adventure because he was transformed by Christ. He invited others into the adventure. We’ll kick off the fall with Vision Weekend introducing Paul’s letter to the Romans. It’s a gritty, grace filled. Paul writes, “I am unashamed of the gospel.” He was determined to share the good news of Jesus to the ends of the earth. But his focus on God’s righteousness through Christ, not our own—and grace—changed everything. To a diverse congregation(s) Paul writes, “All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.” We all share same human condition. Key theological theme to introduce views on prevenient/irresistible grace. It is God’s initiative through Jesus to heal, restore, and renew. Grace is for everyone. We live this out through the four Grace Pathways: be curious, grow in practice, find community, make an impact—the first step is to get started.

Jesus gave the command to love one another. This was harder than expected. As the Holy Spirit led them, the early followers of Jesus discovered the power of the one-another, irresistible church. Today, church seems all too resistible. But does it have to be? We’ll consider what makes Christian community compelling.

Each gospel includes Jesus’ invitation to the disciples to follow him or to come and see what he’s about. The invitation changed their lives as they chose to follow him. One invitation led to another invitation until someone invited you to follow Jesus, too. We’ll consider the power of invitation and how we invite others.
