Time of Grace With Pastor Mike Novotny

Paul’s conversion was dramatic, and he was led to be a great missionary to the Gentiles. We too were transformed when we came to faith—whether as children or adults. Like Paul, we follow God’s will, listen to his Word, fix our eyes on Jesus, and witness to others about him.

God sees and hears what we do. He wants us to repent of our sins and to welcome the forgiveness that is given to us as a gift because of what Jesus did for us. That forgiveness restores us and puts us on the right track to serving him in love and looking forward to heaven.

David recognized the dangers of being too prideful and trusted that God would make good come out of his abuse. We too are called to bear our crosses with humility and be examples to others of not letting anger or vengeance steal our joy.

Just as Peter confronted his failures, we too confront ours and put them at Jesus’ feet. He forgives us, loves us, and has a purpose for us as we live our lives. Peter was changed from a coward to a champion of faith. We too can be witnesses to the world of the amazing grace of Jesus.

Jesus' work on earth shines the light of God's amazing love on you. And because of that love, you too are equipped to show it to others around you.

You are changed because of Jesus! Learn how living a Spirit-filled life rolls over to your marriage and how you treat your spouse.

When we think we're in control of our marriage and not God, things often go badly. Learn how staying in God's Word to build up your marriage strength and following God's plan can help you and your spouse grow and work together.

Marriage can be hard, but with God's help we can be quick to listen and slow to speak so that we can support our partner with the kind of love that God has shown us.

Though we are all different with unique personalities and gifts, we all have the same purpose--to bring glory to God and to spread the gospel message. No matter your gift, God is at work through it to accomplish his will.
