The only path to sanctification that works is the path of grace.
There are those who say that the idea of radical grace is simply permission to sin and that we shouldn't take this grace thing too far.
However, according to the Apostle Paul, grace has the opposite effect: We are constrained and remade by the love of Christ.
As Steve Brown says, "If you want to be better (and Christians really do), and you depend on your own discipline and commitment, you don’t have a prayer."
But see what exciting things can happen when your community gets a taste of grace!
Don't miss Part 3 of CCN's four-part series on God's amazing grace with author, theologian and pastor, Steve Brown. Steve will continue his study in Galatians, offering your congregation a deeper understanding of the life-changing impact of biblical grace.
In this third session, The Sanctifying Work of Grace, Steve will help your community discover the only path to transformation that really works.
Walking through the book of Galatians, Steve will paint a picture of the life-changing experience of true, biblical grace:
- Sanctification Begins With Grace, Not Obedience
- Sanctification Is Defined by Who You Are, Not What You Do
- Sanctification is Motivated By Love, Not Law
- Sanctification is Grown by the Spirit, Not Created By Works
- Sanctification is marked by Dancing, Not Duty
This turn-key course will not only benefit your congregation, but your church staff will enjoy the break from teaching to rest, reflect on, and grow in God's grace.
Let grace transform your community!
