20200112 Why We Do What We Do, #1 - Tangible Grace Pastor Delton Weiser

SERMON NOTES:  

Values are the motivational flame of the church.  They are shared convictions that guide actions and reveal your strengths.  They distinguish your philosophy of ministry and shape your culture and ethos. Values answer the question, “WWDWWD?”

At Point of Grace we highly Value:

·       Tangible Grace

·       Relentless Dependence

·       Personal Transformation

·       Unconnected People

Ephesians 2 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
John 1 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

What is Grace?    
Unmerited Favor

God’s grace is revealed through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus and is received by faith.

Romans 3 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith.

What are a group of people like who highly value God’s Tangible Grace?
