Sometimes the church makes grace too safe and too acceptable.
According to author and theologian, Steve Brown, people seem to be saying, “God loves you, but don’t take it too far - and don’t let it go to your head.”
But what would happen to the hearts and lives of your congregation, if they could catch a glimpse of the staggering goodness of God's grace?
Join CCN for the first of a four-part Bible study series designed to take your community into a deeper awareness and appreciation of God's grace.
This first session will focus on The Radical Nature of Grace. As Steve Brown explains,
"This session is designed to examine the 'mind-blowing' and 'radical' nature of God’s grace. Properly understood the reality and experience of grace will 'take your breath away'."
As your community begins to grasp the grace of God at deeper levels, their lives will certainly not be the same.
Beginning this summer, this turn-key course will not only benefit your congregation, but your church staff will enjoy this opportunity to take a break from teaching to rest, reflect on, and grow in God's grace.
Join Steve for Part 1, as he starts this inspiring journey in Galatians 3:
- A Horrible Curse (Galatians 3:10-11A)
- A Startling Solution (Galatians 3:13)
- A Frightening Danger (Galatians 3:1-3)
- An Incredible Power (Galatians 3:5 and 3:15)
This summer, don't settle for safe. Give your congregation a taste of radical grace!
