Today we look at Ephesians 2 and discuss how grace is the free gift from God and no one can earn it by works. Forgiveness is God’s free gift as well. God loves us because of who He is, not because of what we do or don’t do!

In our first episode Rick and Dan talk about how forgiveness is at the core of our relationship with God, and that we have a ministry of reconciliation.

In this final episode Steve expresses, with passion, that we are the sacred dwelling place of God. We are His temple. It’s time we live out of that truth.

In this episode Rick and Steve talk about the goal in being a Christian is not about getting something you don’t have, but about expressing what we already have in Christ.

In this episode Rick and Steve discuss that because of our new nature in Christ, forgiveness is now a part of our identity. Because of His forgiveness it is now an expression of who we are.

Rick and Jeremy discuss how the modern church has emphasized morality over relationship with God. Religion teaches that we have the right to hold onto past hurts and demand justice over forgiveness. Forgiveness may be extended, but trust must be reestablished through this process.

Jeremy talks about his own journey to freedom from the idea of being saved just to a get ticket to heaven and moving into the understanding that God desires a relationship with us. And that this relationship requires believing God has taken away all your sins.

Rick and Jeremy talk about how forgiveness is core to our relationship to God, and how unforgiveness can rob us of our joy and peace. We must use the gift of forgiveness as we relate to others.

Charles talks about finding the Grace message and how he has been greatly impacted by teachers like Andrew Farley, John Lynch and Tullian Tchividjin.

Charles Castillo and Rick talk about how the church today has become pharisaical in that many church leaders demand total obedience to denominational teachings.
