Growing in Grace #4 - The Transforming Grace of God's Word

This is the last message in our series, "Growing In Grace" - our topic today is The Transforming Grace of God's Word - & our text is 1Timothy 4:6-9, 2Timothy 3:16,17, & 1Peter 2:1,2.

Growing in Grace #3 - Putting Off & Putting On

Today, our message in the series, "Growing in Grace" is talking about putting off the old ways of thinking, living, & acting, & putting on Jesus Christ. Practically, this could look like stopping with the indulgences of our natural ways - (lying, throwing fits of rage, stealing from others, speaking negatively to & about others) &  adopting Christ-like ways (speaking the truth in love, working to be a blessing to others with our material possessions, & encouraging people with our words & actions). The text for today is Ephesians 4:17-32.

Growing In Grace #2 - Humility, Gentleness, & Patience

Ephesians 2 reminds us that our salvation is rooted in the grace of God, & is not based upon our own merits, works, &/or accomplishments.  Therefore, we grow in our relationship with God by the grace God extends to us - & by looking to embrace His ways, thought patterns, & means of engaging the world (& the PEOPLE) around us. Today's message flows out of Ephesians 4:1-3, & centers on the challenge of living out humility, gentleness, & patience in our relationships with others...

Growing In Grace #1 - Embracing Goodness & Kindness

We're beginning a series today called "Growing In Grace" - our main texts as we launch are Jeremiah 9:23-24, Galatians 5:22-23, & Ephesians 2:8-10.
