Your Story of Grace

Rev. Paul J. Miller – Sermon Outline – January 31, 2021

Series Title: UNFIFY – Understand, (be) Non-Dual, Include, Forgive, Yearn

Today’s Title: Your Story of Grace

Today’s Text: Galatians 1:11-2:21

 

The strife and division within the body of Christ today is not rooted in political, moral, or theological differences. If we are willing to humbly dig beneath those surface issues, we may discover that our troubles began when grace was set aside.

 

What is “grace”?

Our God-given opportunity and responsibility to forgive as much as we have been forgiven and to love as deeply as we have been loved.
