Four Weeks Out: Can You Relate: Living Grace (Steve)
Came out of the Reveal survey – there was a question about salvation by grace and there was some uncertainty about it among the congregants…people were not as certain as we thought they should be! The Leadership team worked on a statement on ‘what is Grace at Grace Place’. So he wants to talk about how Grace impacts how we live and how we relate. Start out with statements about grace. It isn’t really defined – but there are lots of examples of it being modeled. Jesus models it a lot (obviously). Grace not only impacts our relationship with God and with each other. He is going to talk about all that Grace does as we live it out with each other.
It has been interesting to Steve that Grace is not really defined in scripture. It talks about it and models it. Starts with Noah (found grace/favor in the eyes in the eyes of the Lord). And it is throughout the scripture.
The Irregulars is about those folks who challenge us and to whom we need to give grace. Like family… and the way it brings healing. It’s not just about how you treat people ‘in the world’ but about the people close to you.
Steve is going to try to put a paragraph on the blog himself.
Any personal stories about grace to use for illustration?
Fireproof (movie) – his relationship with his mother
Les Miserables – Jean valjean and the Bishop
Stories from CR?
Everybody think about possible illustrations…
