We're continuing our series at the 4:30pm service in the book of Genesis, looking at the life of Abraham from chapters 12-25, and this Sunday, Assistant Pastor, Tim Guest, is preaching on Genesis 20 - Familiar Failings and Surprising Grace
By Ben Nye
Luke 15 • Joshua Mack
Daniel 4:24-37Mark 9:33-37
Truly complex problems require us to be people committed to both patient love (grace) but also making sure that we arrive at the correct answer (truth). This is difficult, but the alternative is not good. As author Randy Alcorn once wrote, “Truth without grace breeds self-righteous legalism…grace without truth breeds moral indifference.” But in the Scriptures, we see that Jesus isn't full of grace OR truth; He is full of grace AND truth. This is the vision set before us—not arbitrary or circumstantial decision-making between grace OR truth but a commitment to live at the intersection of grace AND truth. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): John 4:5-18
Romans 15:15-18 Main Point: God often uses unexpected people in unexpected ways to accomplish His purpose of redemption! I. An Unexpected Grace – 15:15-16. See Philippians 3:3-5 II.

This Sunday we are diving in to the story of Judah. It's messy and hard and surprising. Moses gives us insight into a long season of Judah's life that is riddled with sin and scandal and brokenness. But there's more to the story than that. Yet again, we'll see how God uses it all to bring Judah back to himself and transform him into an entirely different person before it's all over. It's a story that gives hope to all of us. See you Sunday.

John Koessler is a self proclaimed "amateur" when it comes to praying, and in this honest and insightful conversation with Mike he speaks about the difference between human and divine conversation, and how it informs his preaching, which he defines as a conversation that he has with people, based on a previous conversation that he had with God. He contrasts prophetic preaching, which can come off as preaching "against" the people, and priestly preaching, which is preaching "for" or "with" the people. "Preaching is the communicating of divine truth through human personality." -Phillips BrooksDr John Koessler is an award-winning author and retired faculty emeritus of pastoral studies of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois.

Jesus begins something new as he talks about how there are new things coming. This week we get to know a little something about GRACE!

Drew continues our series through Joshua by examining how God's grace often surprises us. We see this in Joshua 2 as Rahab responds to what she HEARS about God, how she BELIEVES in God and therefore how she ACTS for GodYou can watch this message here: https://youtu.be/hNcvA_7qhCM Hosted on Acast.

As we wrapped up Romans 3, we saw that God's righteousness - his perfect record, come to us through faith in Jesus Christ. It comes freely and it justifies us, providing ample evidence for God to welcome us into all his love and presence.
We look at examples of God's Surprising Grace through Mark 7:24-8:10 (focusing on 8:10). He shows grace when, where, and to those whom we do not expect. We should look for His surprising grace in our lives and in the lives of those around us. How has God's grace surprised and challenged me?

Rev. Matt Miller (Jonah 4:5-11)
Speaker: Justin WheelerSeries: Revelation Permalink
Rev. Matt Miller (Jonah 4:1-4) Often, what makes us mad reveals where our hearts are with God. Jonah's response to an entire city turning from sin is more surprising than the turning itself. Paying attention to where our anger is focused helps know how we are out of alignment with God.
Rev. Matt Miller (Jonah 3:1-10) Life is full of twists and turns, some of them happen to us, others are our responsibility/fault. What are our options when we take a wrong turn?
Rev. Matt Miller (Jonah 1:17-2:10) Jonah finally repents. It seems he's beginning to understand the significance of Grace. Have you?

ACTS 10:27-48God's renewal comes first through God's own initiative. In all conversions, there is always a moment when we realize that it's God who is pursuing us. God pursues us with more love than we are able to give to ourselves. Where are you invited to recognize God's love and renewal in your life?
God's grace shines brightest against the backdrop of human failure. Jephthah was rejected by his own people and had no reason to help them. Yet God's surprising and gracious choice of Jephthah allowed him to deal graciously with those who had rejected him.

Scripture Reading: Matthew 15:21-28 Rev. Kevin J. Long
Reclaiming the concept of grace is a difficult task for us. But thinking of it as “surprising goodness,” makes it easier to defy the idea of “cheap grace,” a term coined by German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer to describe how most people perceive grace — as a personal benefit.
There is nothing you are going through right now that is a mystery to Him. Jennifer shares about how comforting it was to realize Jesus was once a teenager as she comforted her daughter, "Whatever comes your way, Jesus is with you. He gets you."Leave a comment for Jennifer: https://incourage.me/?p=222902
