Transferable Concept #5: Teach them to live GRACE FILLED lives
A theology of grace
1. It's the unmerited and unconditional FAVOR of God toward us - 1 Jn 4:19
2. It's free to us, but COSTLY to God -1 Cr 6:19-20
3. The CROSS is God’s greatest act of grace -Ro 5:8
4. SALVATION is a free gift from God -Ro 6:23
5. It must be received by FAITH -Ep 2:8-9
6. It produces GRATITUDE toward God and love toward others -Ti 2:11-12
7. Old Testament roots: Gn 3:21, 6:8
8. Biblical profiles: David, Peter
9. New Testament command: Jn 3:16-18, Ep 2:8-9, 1 Pt 1:13
Teach them that failure is never final
1. Encourage them to MEDITATE on the lives of David and Peter, a murderer, adulterer, and betrayer among God's most beloved and mightily used servants
2. Help them remove the power of the SECRECY and condemnation by practicing repentance and confession with some mature believers you can trust
3. Teach them to REFUSE a "performance-orientation" with God; the relationship is always grace-orientation.
Life message: You were created to RECEIVE grace and to give grace!

John 8:12

The Lord works in mysterious ways, but He also works in providential ways. We know the Lord has done miracles. We read about them in Scripture, and some of us may have experienced one in our own lives. But much of the time, God works providentially, which is to say He works behind the scenes. Pastor Ron shares a great example of the providential work of God today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”
Christmas isn't just about the tinsel and lights—the true Christmas story shines brightest in the deepest darkness. Even amid great gloom and difficulty, Isaiah prophesied a Child who would bring hope, light, and freedom. In this message, Pastor Lutzer looks at the characteristics of the promised Child. Who is this One destined to transform the world?
