LET’S SAY, “GRACE!”

 

Extending Grace to Others

​

In May, Pastor Jensen will present a mini message series entitled, “Let’s Say, ‘Grace!’” which focuses on the ways we as Christians should extend grace to others in our world. There is no question that our world is filled with “graceless” people. Just think of the ways that many non-believers treat others. They often act in graceless ways that include hatred, indifference, bigotry, legalism, self-centeredness, etc. Take a look on social media, watch TV or check out a cable news show and you’ll quickly see that this is the way people treat one another in our world. We as Christians know a better way. We are called to extend grace to others. 1 Peter 4:10 states, “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace." Jesus goes so far as to say, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” By extending grace to others, we serve as God’s ambassadors reflecting God’s light and pointing people to Him! Below is a list of the messages, themes and scripture passages we will cover.
