Make Yourself of No Reputation
This morning we continue our series, “Grace that is Simply Amazing” by continuing to teach on the fact that “God’s Grace is Sufficient.” This week I taught from 2 Corinthians and I trust you enjoyed the messages.

This morning we continue our series, “Grace that is Simply Amazing” by continuing to teach on the fact that “God’s Grace is Sufficient.” In yesterday’s message I told you that God’s grace is sufficient to save.

Grace, the Holy Spirit and God’s amazing Love!
This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” In our last message we looked at how Christ redeemed us from condemnation. Once we embrace that and we live with a “No Condemnation” mentality, we are in a position to resist satan and to please God, even when we make a mistake.

A Perfect Law required of Imperfect People
(Read Romans 7:7-13)
This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” In our last message we looked at how we are to transition from being under the obligation of the Law, to being led of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. As we continue to walk through Romans we get to a passage where Paul explains how God’s Law is perfect, how we are not, and how sin is magnified by the Law. It is a very enlightening passage. Read it with your heart open to receive:

The Grace to Help our Brothers and Sisters in Christ
This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing” by continuing to look at The Law given under Moses vs. the Grace provided by Jesus. In our last message we learned from Paul that we are supposed to die to our old nature; nailing our sinful desires to the cross and dying self and sin. As we continue to walk through Paul’s letter to the church in Galatia we see a continued focus on emphasizing God’s grace and love, and not necessarily external rules. While at
