Irresistable grace does not mean grace cannot be resisted. It means that when God chooses, he can and will overcome that resistance.

To Everything a Season: Lutheran Reflections Through the Church Year
In this episode we discuss the nature and attributes of God's saving grace.
The grace of God is a free gift, not earned by works, that provides forgiveness, spiritual strength, and the opportunity for a relationship with God, extending beyond mere forgiveness to empower believers for holy living. It's God's benevolent action to bless the undeserving, making abundant life and eternal hope possible.

In this special commissioning service TJ Bowser preaches on Titus 2:11-14.
The sermon centers on Titus 2:11–15, presenting a profound reversal of Paul's typical doctrinal-ethical structure by beginning with ethical imperatives and grounding them in the divine doctrine of Christ's epiphany—His visible manifestation in grace and future glory. It emphasizes that God's saving grace, which became incarnate in Jesus Christ, not only forgives sin but actively teaches believers to reject ungodliness and worldly desires while cultivating sober, righteous, and godly living in the present age. This transformation is sustained by the believer's hope in Christ's glorious return, which is not merely a future event but a present motivation that shapes daily conduct. The passage affirms Christ's full deity and salvific work, highlighting His self-giving sacrifice to redeem believers from sin and purify them into a holy people zealous for good works. Ultimately, the Christian life is defined by the tension of the 'already and not yet'—living in the present age with the certainty of future redemption, anchored in the triple confession: Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again.
The message begins with recounting the story of a congregant that you were trying help with his own personal issues. He essentially says that he thinks he is smarter than any of the staff and you. This message is a warning about intellectual pride. We are to be cautious to not get puffed up in our own knowledge to "be not wise in your own conceits." The antidote is to work out our salvation in fear and trembling, in humility, to walk humbly with God. It is God that gives us knowledge and wisdom.

What act could be more one-sidedly free and non-negotiated than one person raising another from the dead? This is the meaning of grace.
A spiritual and saving knowledge of God is the greatest need of every human creature. The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear understanding of His attributes as revealed in Holy Scripture. An unknown God cannot be truly trusted, served, nor worshipped. In this book, an effort has been made to describe some of the principal perfections of His divine character. And if we are to truly profit from our perusal of the pages herein, we need to earnestly ask God to bless them to us, to apply His Truth to our conscience and heart, so that, by it, our lives will be transformed. We need something more than a theoretical knowledge of God. God is only truly known in the soul inasmuch as we yield ourselves to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all the details of our lives by His holy precepts and commandments. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord (Hosea 6:3). If any man will do His will, he shall know (John 7:17). The people that do know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). About the Author Arthur Walkington Pink (1886-1952) was an influential British Christian evangelist and biblical scholar known for his profound writings and teachings on Reformed theology. Born in Nottingham, England, Pink converted to Christianity in his early twenties, and lived a life devoted to the Lord. His passion for Scripture led him to pastorates in the United States and Australia, though he is best remembered for his prolific writing. Pink's works, including The Sovereignty of God and numerous articles in his monthly magazine, Studies in the Scriptures, have had a lasting impact in the body of Christ.
Genesis 3 // Jonathan NeefThis sermon focuses on the pivotal events of Genesis 3, commonly known as "The Fall." We look at the subtle nature of temptation, the choice to disobey God, and the immediate shame that entered the human experience.

God is not the God of some grace. He is the God of all grace — including the infinite, inexhaustible stores of future grace that we need to endure to the end.
God gives both the sustaining grace we need in times of trouble, and the suffering which makes us depend on his grace.

It's easy to forget where we came from once life starts to stabilize. Time sober, routines in place, and a little distance from the chaos can quietly turn gratitude into judgment. That's why this reminder matters: but for the grace of God go I. Recovery isn't proof that we're better, smarter, or stronger than anyone else. It's evidence that grace intervened where self-will failed. The line between where we are and where we once were is thinner than we like to admit — and humility keeps us aware of that truth. In today's Daily Trudge, we talk about: How quickly gratitude can turn into judgment Remembering who we were before recovery Why grace—not effort alone—changed everything Staying humble as life improves Avoiding “terminal uniqueness” and superiority Seeing others with compassion instead of comparison Why humility protects sobriety Letting grace shape how we treat people Sobriety doesn't make us immune. Time doesn't make us different. Grace keeps us grounded. But for the grace of God go I — and that truth keeps recovery honest.

Understand what it means to hold fast to the gospel and why Paul calls it of first importance above all other Christian doctrines. Get a clear, biblical definition of the gospel message including Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, plus discover the overwhelming eyewitness evidence for the resurrection that convinced early Christians to die for their faith. Learn from Paul's dramatic conversion story how God can transform anyone's past, no matter how dark, into a powerful testimony of grace and redemption. This teaching addresses common misconceptions about Christian maturity and challenges believers to live in the gospel's present reality rather than just its memory. Perfect for anyone seeking to understand the foundation of Christian faith, the nature of salvation, or how to apply gospel truth to daily life. Whether you're a new believer or have been following Christ for years, this message will deepen your appreciation for the gospel's ongoing work in your life and equip you to share it clearly with others.
This message explores how the grace of God isn't just a gift—it's a force that can increase, multiply, and empower every part of your life when you learn how to maximize it. Pastor Ernst Cochy unpacks what Scripture teaches about grace as divine enablement, the supernatural advantage that causes you to rise, overcome, and succeed. You'll hear how grace operates, why it increases or decreases, and how awareness and obedience position you to receive more of it. Discover why your time, your opportunities, and even your ability to change are expressions of God's grace already at work. Pastor Ernst walks through foundational passages like John 1:14–16 and 2 Corinthians 6:1–2 to show that God is constantly pouring grace on you—but it's your responsibility to discern the moment, cast your cares instead of carrying them, acknowledge the Lord continually, and take bold steps that activate His empowerment. If you've felt stuck, strained, or slowed down, this message will challenge you to shift your focus from yourself to the grace of God—the power steering of the believer's life. Expect practical teaching, strong exhortation, and spiritual clarity that will help you reign in your emotions, your decisions, and your future. Listen and step into the next level of grace God has made available to you We are thrilled to have you with us! Join us every Sunday at 11 AM for a powerful time of worship, teaching, and community.

The grace we receive should be shared with others so that God's grace can continue on.
