How Amazing Is Grace - North Parkersburg Baptist

The Amazing Reach Of Grace

April 16, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • Ephesians 2:1–3, John 8:44

Destined to face the wrath of God for our sins, God sent his son Jesus to intercede on our behalf. God's love for us is the very definition of grace. Romans 5:8: "...but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." We may never be "perfect" this side of heaven, but God is refining His believers and they will forever be changed!

The Amazing Intervention Of Grace

April 23, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • Ephesians 2:1–3, Ephesians 2:12, Ephesians 2:4–7

G.R.A.C.E. = God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. For our sins, we deserved an eternity separated from Him, BUT GOD stepped in and applied Grace to our lives. There's a huge difference between grace and mercy. Mercy is God not giving us what we do deserve (punishment for our sins). Grace is God giving us something we do not deserve (Heaven, salvation, and eternal life in Christ). Without the shedding of Jesus' blood on the cross, God's grace could not be applied to our lives.

The Amazing Glory Of Grace

April 30, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • Ephesians 2:8–10, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Matthew 5:16

We were saved by His grace. We did nothing to deserve it and we can do nothing to repay it. What we can do is worship our heavenly Father for that grace He applied to our lives;. We were saved by His grace, for His work.
