What a journey life is! Each one of us has a unique story to tell, filled with various details of the who, what, when and where in life. Yet in all our diversity we share one deep and abiding reality ... we are surrounded by the grace of God, My prayer this morning is that, in our time together in His Word, our hearts will freshly discover and encounter His awesome GRACE!

Introduction - Let's Talk About God's Grace God's grace is the expression of His divine love and power to those who do not deserve it. It is both, His undeserved, unmerited favor and His divine enablement.

I. We Need To Embrace God's ______________________ "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift from God, not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

• When did your grace journey begin?

II. We Need To Experience God's ___________________ "Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, 'The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgressions and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty Unpunished'" Exodus 34:6-8

• Where do you need to experience God's healing grace?

III. We Need To Express God's ______________________ "As each one has received a grace-gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 4:10-11

• How does God uniquely want to express His grace through you?
