We are a ‘GRACE CHURCH’! Why is this so significant?

 

After 40 years of preaching the Gospel I’ve come to believe that the GRACE OF GOD IN OUR LORD JESUS is the heart and essence of God’s message to the world and is supposed to be the church’s glorious theme. It’s only GRACE that will set men free from sin, keep them free and cause them to love God supremely.

 

It’s a tremendous privilege to declare a message which demands no human merit or achievement and puts no man into the sad state of endless debt and obligation. The finished work of Christ on Calvary has set God’s love free forever. It was far from cheap. Grace is not simply a doctrine. It is the most expensive gift in the universe, it cost God everything. All God’s Grace is in the person of Jesus Christ. God has nothing more to say or give than all he has said and given in his beloved son.

 

Grace puts no stumbling block on the road to salvation or alters the signposts. It points exclusively and strenuously to Jesus Christ. Grace neither manipulates, dominates, intimidates or controls. It demands only what it first gives and empowers only in the place of human weakness. It reigns through the righteousness of Christ’s atoning blood and as such draws people to Christ and away from sin.

 

We believe we are saved by GRACE, empowered to live by GRACE, kept by GRACE and are saved “for the praise of his glorious GRACE”!

 

Are you defeated, grace can bring you victory. Are you disappointed, lonely, angry, fed up, confused, whatever it be God’s grace and the God of allis always sufficient.

Heather and I welcome you to attend our church and become part of our family in Christ
