We continue our series on Grace this week (if you missed church last weekend, you can catch up on our web site). John Stott rightly observes, “The Gospel is good news of mercy to the undeserving. The symbol of the religion of Jesus is the cross, not the scales.” Many Christians have an easier time being saved by grace than they do living in grace and thereby extending grace to others. However, God’s grace is at the core of the kind of life He calls us to live, and it mirrors the heart of the One who calls. Once we encounter true and authentic grace, we allow the enduring, powerful, life-giving work of God to continue unhindered in our lives—and rediscover that God’s grace is not only amazing, but abundant. Join us this weekend as we study one of the parables Jesus taught to show us how God’s grace is not only outrageous, unmerited, and marvelous, but also life-affirming and sufficient for anyone who is willing to turn to Him.
