What happens when guilty people receive something they could never earn?

Grace.

In Week 3 of The Church: Defined, we discover that grace isn't simply a doctrine Christians believe—it's the foundation of the community Christ is building.

Ephesians 2:8–9 reminds us that none of us earned our salvation. We are saved by grace through faith as the gift of God. That truth should humble us, change the way we treat other people, and transform the way we live.

In this message:

• Grace Is How We Got Here

• Grace Changes How We Treat People

• Grace Doesn't Leave Us Where It Found Us

A church of grace isn't a church where sin doesn't matter. It's a church where sinners discover that Jesus is willing to forgive them—and powerful enough to change them.

We don't pursue holiness so that God will give us grace.

We pursue holiness because God already has.
