During this week’s Behind The Message, the discussion on grace continues from the weekend’s message taken from Titus. Pastor Daniel, Jennifer, and Pastor Mike talk further about how grace is manifested through the Person of Jesus and how, now, believers in Him manifest grace to the world. They discuss further the implications of grace and how it is by grace we are saved by Jesus, it is by grace we live in Jesus, and it is by grace we share Jesus with those around us.
