This week, we interviewed Janet Martin, one of Flourish’s coaches who taught Ephesians 2. Ephesians 2 unpacks three aspects of God’s grace: Redeeming Grace, Refining Grace, and Radical Grace. When we accept His priceless gift of grace, redemption positions us to pivot in agreement with God’s refining work in us. And the end result – a radical grace which births unity and glory to God. There is no better way to display Jesus First in our lives than acknowledging the power of redeeming grace and standing together united to glorify God.
