In this final sermon in the Grace Enough series, we discover from 2 Corinthians that there is grace enough for us to give. Paul gives us three examples: the Macedonian churches, the Corinthian church, and Jesus, and helps us see that no matter our circumstances, as recipients of God's grace, we are called to excel in the grace of giving of our resources to the Lord, to meet needs and make disciples.

Service is a gift of grace, because it helps us keep an outward focus, to look up to God in gratitude for His generosity to us, and to look out to those around us in service so we can pass along His gifts to them. This sermon focuses on how God gives us the grace to serve others in His name, to serve the Body of Christ, and how that service helps us overcome our self-centered tendencies. (The sermon led into a deacon ordination for three men in our church, which is not included in this audio).

"What do you want me to do for you?" When Jesus asked this question, first of his two disciples, and then of a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, their responses revealed their hearts. How would you answer? What might this reveal? Will you follow Jesus if you see a cross up ahead? In this episode with Amber Cullum, we're looking at the story of Blind Bartimaeus, and how his response to this question, "What do you want?" was completely different from James and John's response in the scene before. So what can we learn from disciples who were blind, and a blind man who sees? Listen in as we discuss how to live like it's true that there's a cross up ahead, but that Jesus is the Son of David who will ultimately heal all that is broken.

Welcome to Day 2 of Grace Enough's 21 Days of Gratitude, where we're uncovering the biblical roots of Thanksgiving. In our journey, we've explored the sacrificial system God established when Israel was taking its first steps as a nation. And today, we're diving deep into something truly extraordinary: the fellowship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Thanksgiving offering was more than a ritual – it was a fellowship meal. A communion between God, the mediator (in our case, Jesus Christ), and the worshiper. In this offering, something incredible happened; the worshiper consumed a portion of the offering, creating a profound connection between the one making the offering and our Creator God. Our gratitude isn't just an act of worship; it's sustenance, strength, and nourishment for our souls. It ushers us into fellowship with the living God. So, as we explore this timeless rhythm, let's practice gratitude together. Reflect on Psalm 107:1 – 'Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.' Think about the times you cried out to the Lord in distress, and He delivered you. As we delve into Psalm 107, give thanks for those moments when God's steadfast love brought you through.

One of the biggest questions religion seeks to answer is: “How can a person be right with God?” This is the question of salvation. As we consider what Mormonism teaches about salvation in comparison to historic, biblical Christianity, remember what is at stake: a person's eternal destiny.Two Kinds of Salvation?In Mormonism, immortality means that every human being will be resurrected to life after death. LDS apostle Russell M. Nelson taught, “To be saved—or to gain salvation—means to be saved from physical and spiritual death. Because of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, all people will be resurrected and saved from physical death.” This promise applies to all people regardless of what they believe or how they live. The LDS Gospel Principles manual says, “Because of His Atonement, everyone born on this earth will be resurrected…. This condition is called immortality.”Exaltation, on the other hand, is limited to those who fulfill a rigorous set of requirements, who will thus attain the highest level of heaven. In his address, Russell Nelson continued:People may also be saved from individual spiritual death through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, by their faith in Him, by living in obedience to the laws and ordinances of His gospel, and by serving Him. To be exalted—or to gain exaltation—refers to the highest state of happiness and glory in the celestial realm.Only the most worthy Latter-day Saints - those who keep all their covenants and complete all the required ordinances - will qualify for exaltation. Thus Mormonism blends universalism and exclusivism. One on level, all people are saved. But only the elite are exalted.By contrast to this, the Bible envisions only one salvation. This salvation has many elements: forgiveness of sins, regeneration to a new life, reconciliation with God, adoption into God's family, a glorious future resurrection, and more. But the Bible never suggests different kinds of salvation, based on different requirements, for different kinds of people. Jesus said, in Matthew 7:13-14: You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.Only one gateway leads to salvation. As we will see, the few who find it are not those who work the hardest to be worthy.Is God's Grace Enough?Latter-day Saints value God's grace. But they believe people are saved - in the highest sense - by God's grace plus their own good works. The Book of Mormon outlines this in 2 Nephi 25:23:For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.According to this, people are saved by grace, but not by grace alone. Grace only takes effect “after all we can do.” The Pearl of Grace Price makes this clear (Articles of Faith 3): “We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.” In other words, Jesus' atoning work is a necessary precondition for salvation, but it does not actually save anyone from their sins unless they live the right kind of life. Grace merely gives Mormons the opportunity to add the needed good works to obtain forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God.However, the Bible teaches that grace is the unconditional gift of God to meet our needs. We can be right with God by his grace alone, not by the addition of any good works. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Because our sin renders us incapable of proving ourselves worthy, eternal life in God's presence cannot be based on our good works....

Fear Stops to Faith Steps Questions: (5:08) Take us back and share your experience of becoming a career missionary. (9:15) You came home, as the title of your books says, you put your yes on the table. What next? (11:32) You wrote, "I am afraid of success in ministry or relationships because it adds a weight of expectation, and sometimes I am afraid that it will require more than I want to give...I am afraid of failure because failure says to me I am not enough; I cannot live up to the expectation; I should not have tried." After realizing you were afraid of both success and failure, what helped you move from a place of paralysis to moving forward? (17:18) You have literally stood on the edge of the Promised Land during one of your trips to the Middle East. What did God reveal to you in that moment?

Join the Grace Enough community HERE! Jessica Thompson and Amber discuss the heart behind Jessica's devotional, How God Loves Us: 40 Days to Discovering His Character in the Fruit of the Spirit. How God Loves Us Questions Discussed: (5:26) Share a little about your faith journey. When did you begin walking with Jesus? (12:01) If you grew up in the church you can probably sing, "And the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace.." but in "How God Loves Us" you write about the fruit of the Spirit being the characteristics of God. Let's begin with how Christians typically think and talk about the fruit of the Spirit. (16:34) What are some places in the Word where we see a fruit of the Spirit displayed in God? (20:59) What are some ways you would encourage someone who's just constantly finding themselves going back to that, "Oh, I do this to earn God's favor"? (26:17) Why you choose to write a devotional vs. a trade book and what your hope is for the book? Quotes to Remember from How God Loves Us: "I was like what Jesus described, the whitewashed tomb, it looks clean on the outside, inside is just dead rotting bones. All of my goodness wasn't good enough." "What made me love God was the realization that He was good in my place, that Jesus Christ was that goodness that I needed." "I didn't have to act anymore. I didn't have to prove myself anymore. I didn't have to attain to some level of outward spirituality that everybody would praise me for. I was free and forgiven and loved because of who he is not because of who I am." SHOW NOTES cont.

Join the Grace Enough community HERE! Nicole Zasowski and Amber discuss the heart behind her newest book What If It's Wonderful?, the spiritual practice of celebration, and why we often resist celebrating. Courage to Celebrate Questions Discussed: (2:43) Your story involves multiple miscarriages and crippling anxiety that led to a reluctance to celebrate for fear of what may come. In What If It's Wonderful you write, "I was sure that celebration always came with a catch, so I became practiced in praying for the miracle while preparing to mourn," Share a bit of your story and how God began to impress upon you the spiritual practice of celebration. (9:50) Why do you think we can be hesitant or completely shy away from celebrating God's good gifts, especially after enduring hardship (16:32) You wrote, "Christians I stood shoulder to shoulder with through most seasons of my life tended to emphasize other disciplines- like prayer, fasting, and the study of God's Word- but were not particularly disciplined about celebration." What does the Bible say about celebration and why is this practice important? (22:50) What are some practical things that you started doing to introduce celebration as a rhythm? (28:07) What is the difference between celebration and escapism? (32:03) In your practice of celebration, what have you discovered about the character of God?

Will you share a little of the backstory? (7:22) You moved into a place of "managing" the overwhelm, but you still felt this strong sense of obligation, of this fear of letting others down.

Join the Grace Enough community HERE! Sherry Hoppen joins Amber to discuss the years she spent addicted to alcohol, how it impacted her relationships and life after being flat on her face, fully surrendering her addiction to God. (4:40) Share a little of your faith journey with us. When did you begin walking with Jesus? (6:24) There is a season of your life where the label, "addicted follower of Christ" was true of you. Will you take us back and share how alcohol addiction became a part of your story and what day to day life looked like during that time? (15:00) You can have a huge problem with alcohol and not necessarily get to the point where you're hiding it in your bathroom. Talk about that a little? (18:39) What are some signs that should kind of trigger us to think something more may be going on here than what I realize? (22:08) After many failed attempts at sobriety, what took place that finally set you on the path of freedom from addiction? (29:20) You've said, "I think addiction is spiritual warfare at it's finest, and I believe the devil is going to use it to his advantage every way he can." Will you expound on that statement? (41:40) Maybe, there is a Christian woman listening right now who is walking a similar path to the one you were on decades ago. What would you like to say to her? “In essence, you think that you're keeping your life separate from God. Like I have my life with God, and I have my life without God. Because, really, you're ashamed. You don't want God to see that side [alcoholism].” “If someone disagreed with my drinking…I cut them out of my life.” “If you're questioning if you have a drinking problem, you do.” “I really thought I was surrendering and that God was letting me down. When, in essence, I didn't surrender anything. I was surrendering on my terms…. The difference was instead of saying to God, ‘I just want to go back to drinking like normal when I go to this event. Help me to just put a lid on it when I need to. Or take away this craving. Or, please don't let anybody find out'.... I was flat on my face on my living room floor, just crying out to God saying, ‘You know what, I surrender, I'm done. I'll do whatever you want.' And I'd never said that before.” “There is no magic answer, but there is a way. And I believe the way is by taking God's hand and not letting go and finding a community that supports that.” Resources Mentioned: Shesurrenders.com Book: Sober Cycle by Sherry Hoppen Episode Sponsor: The Ten Minute Bible Hour Podcast To make fun, quick, deep-dive Bible a part of your daily rhythm, go to www.thetmbh.com/podcast, or search The Ten Minute Bible Hour wherever you get your podcasts. ------------------------------------------------------ I would love to connect with you on IG and FB ------------------------------------------------------ Learn more about your ad choices.

We can be pretty hard on ourselves when things don't go as planned. Guilt, shame, and fear of being seen as a failure can leave us wallowing in the pig pen, so to speak. Our delusions of a perfectible life keep us disappointed in ourselves. The truth is, life is a big risk every single day and facing whatever each day holds is not only good enough, but worthy of love and grace.In our message of the week, Pastor Jen Tyler shares the story of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15 and how he had grand things planned for his life, and even after that plan was a failure, he was met with extravagant love and grace.
At times, there are non-essential requirements for "holiness" added on to salvation. On the other end of the spectrum, some believe the gospel does not require a change in lifestyle. What role does grace play in this pendulum swing?
We often move through life believing the pursuit or goal is to achieve a "beautiful" life experience, and that somehow a good life means it's devoid of particular fractures or pain. We approach beauty, or a good life, as though it's absent of what's messy. Feeling beautiful and good on the inside somehow makes us think we should be absent of baggage, or complication. However, we see in the Word of God this amazing dichotomy of Beauty residing right alongside Brokenness. God chose very broken individuals to usher in the Savior of the world... in today's episode, my guest Amber Collum and I dive into how beauty and brokenness are meant to co-exist and can show us even more the mercy and power of God to use us, work in us, and move despite us.
