Triumphant Grace MinistriesGrace Upon Grace - Pastor Mark Testerman
Grace was never intended to be the backup plan of the law. Grace is not a substitute teacher; grace is the teacher. Nor was grace the spare tire when the law went flat.

Out of His fullness we have all received grace because of His grace. Isn’t that beautiful?
