Does creating a culture of grace mean talking less about sin? After all, over-emphasis on sin is what convinces people Christians are judgmental and self-righteous -- and doesn't Jesus model radical acceptance by receiving sinners and eating with them? To explore these questions, we must look to the stories Jesus tells about a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son. Sometimes it feels like the most gracious response to sin is to overlook it, but Jesus has a better answer than that. “Eating With Sinners" is the second sermon in a five-part series titled Eating With Jesus: Creating A Culture of Grace. Through the parables of Luke 14-15, we will discover what it truly means to receive sinners and eat with them. Visit us online at www.graceforsiouxfalls.org.

What Jesus reveals about himself at the table is the thing we most need to see, summarized by his critics in this accusation: "This man receives sinners and eats with them." What do our actions reveal about us? You can't find grace by keeping your distance from sinners, and you can't find grace by refusing to acknowledge anything as sin. And until you find grace, you will never find your identity. “Eating and Identity" is the first sermon in a five-part series titled Eating With Jesus: Creating A Culture of Grace. Through the parables of Luke 14-15, we will discover what it truly means to receive sinners and eat with them. Visit us online at www.graceforsiouxfalls.org.

There are so many voices calling us to enlist in so many causes that the still small voice of Scripture is sometimes drown out -- or at least, difficult to make out. What is that voice saying? In our struggles to fix what's wrong with the world, we are in danger of mistaking the mission we were made for. “Remain Human, If Possible" is a reminder of what it means to be human, and how important it is, even in trying times, to keep our eyes fixed on Christ.

The bad news is, only the just will be saved, and we have all fallen short of that standard. The good news is that through Christ we are justified by God's grace. That means salvation is not something we do, but a gift that we are receiving -- not something to boast about, but rather, a reason for joy. “Justified By His Grace" is a guest sermon by Rev. Brandon Haan, who serves as minister of the Reformed University Fellowship at the University of Minnesota. Visit us online at www.graceforsiouxfalls.org.

The most difficult thing about the Christian life isn't obedience. It's the call to joy. Rejoice in the Lord, Paul says. Always. Not in the world to come, when all the suffering is over and justice is established, but now, in the midst of a broken world. How do we find joy when our struggle is far from over? “Rejoice in the Lord Always" is the sixth sermon of Transformed by Grace, a study of the book of Philippians focusing on how the Gospel shapes us into a community of faith.

How well do you know Christ? None of us can claim to know him well enough. Even the Apostle Paul yearns for deeper knowledge -- not just intellectual understanding, but the kind of knowledge that comes from experience, from taking up your cross and following Jesus. What if all our longings are, at heart, a reflection of this one desire to know him? Knowing Christ is the only thing that can restore our humanity. “Knowing Christ" is the fifth sermon of Transformed by Grace, a study of the book of Philippians focusing on how the Gospel shapes us into a community of faith.

Work out your salvation in fear and trembling -- but not in doubt. For it is God who works in you. We rely on him for more than our justification: God does all the work of salvation, from start to finish. That's why, if we are in Christ, we can live with confidence. “God Who Works In You" is the fourth sermon of Transformed by Grace, a study of the book of Philippians focusing on how the Gospel shapes us into a community of faith.

Dying to self isn't the end of living. It's only the beginning. The transformation is so great, according to the Apostle Paul, that even adversity is welcome if it furthers the spread of the gospel. We can rejoice in suffering, even in the face of death, when we live in Christ. “To Live Is Christ" is the second sermon of Transformed by Grace, a study of the book of Philippians focusing on how the Gospel shapes us into a community of faith.

"Choose you this day" may not mean what you think it means. These famous words of Joshua to the people of Israel are often treated as a motivational speech, or an altar call. But there was more to the speech than that, just as there is more to serving than doing good works. “Serve" is the final sermon of Entering the Promise, a study of the book of Joshua focusing on the redemptive lessons of Israel's journey for the church today.
