The Easter story offers us something different. It tells us there is grace available for everyone! And in this week's message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz shares exactly how and why we can have the confidence that grace really is available to us all.

Good Friday is a day where we reflect on the cost of our salvation and price Jesus Christ paid on the Cross. But it's not just for reflection, it's for response. Because of what Christ has done, we respond by surrendering our lives.

Is there anything - or anyone - beyond God's grace? That's a good question... There are people and actions that are so repulsive and so offensive that it's hard to imagine grace being made available to or for them. In fact, were it up to us, most of us would choose not to show grace and instead would feel justified in feeling or believing that they don't deserve our grace.
