What's So Amazing About Grace? (1 of 4) by James Merritt
Everything about the American way of life teaches us this simple truth. In life you get what you earn. You get what you work for. You get what you pay for. There is nothing wrong with that at all. That should be the American way. The problem is many people think the same way you relate to your paycheck or to your possessions is the way you relate to God... ( read more )

The Moral Power of the Grace of God (1 of 3) by Johnny Hunt

Who Wants To Be A... Mercy-Giver (6 of 9) by Rick Ferguson
Introduction: Jesus Christ will turn your life inside-out and upside-down if you will let Him. The Christian life is something that is radical and revolutionary. It is so counter-cultural.

A true disciple of Jesus, is a person who has experienced… ( read more )

The Marvelous Grace of God by Robert Walker
The Cathedrals quartet sings one of the greatest songs I have ever heard about the grace that saves a wretched sinner like myself: He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs, Amazing Grace shall always be my song of praise, For it was grace that brought my liberty, I do not know just why he cared to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and he saw my need… ( read more )

The Gift of Mercy (13 of 18) by Stan Coffey

Guilt and Grace (8 of 8) by Fred Lowery
The Favor of God, remember, is when God sets His gaze upon you or upon me; any one of us ordinary people. God, for reasons known only to Him, at certain times in your life for His purposes, He sets His gaze upon you, even the little details of your life and gives you favor. I'm telling you, many times it happens and you're not even aware of it. You fail to give… ( read more )
