Closing Thought: Finally, stand firm in the true grace of God. And remember, you are not alone, you are one of His chosen, called to persevere in holiness, love, and peace.
When a Christian learns what the Lord offers His followers through His grace and their faith, they can live a truly different life. Now grace and faith are two of the most foundational concepts in Christianity. Many may think that means they don't really need to hear any more about them in order to win the battle against sexual sin. But the truth is that, far too often, these crucial components of Christianity are terribly misunderstood. That's partly why so many Christians are stuck in sin.

In this sermon, we dive deep into the power of real grace, grace that isn't cheap, passive, or surface-level, but costly, transformative, and rooted in the heart of the Father. We talk about what grace truly is, why understanding matters, and how grace always leads us out of darkness and into new life.We explore how Jesus came to reveal God's heart, why grace has to be freely given and freely received, and how embracing grace changes the way we treat others. From Scripture to practical examples, to the difference between true grace and “cheap grace,” this conversation will challenge, encourage, and remind you that Jesus stepped into our mess to bring us out of it.If you've ever struggled with feeling “not enough,” or wondered how grace actually works in real life, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and perspective.

Segment 1 • Ray Comfort preaches with TPUSA on campus, later appears on Fox News. • Ray skillfully pivots every question back to the gospel. • Refuses to get pulled into distractions—stays laser-focused on Christ. Segment 2 • Ray's tone is winsome yet bold. • Pushback comes when preaching hell, but he still lands the gospel. • Challenge: if you live near a campus, why not go witness too? Segment 3 • Too many pastors treat their people like they're unintelligent. • Ben Shapiro praises John MacArthur's depth. • Sin leaves believers unsettled—don't numb yourself to conviction. Segment 4 • A faithful preacher makes truth reachable but stretching. • Al Mohler warns of America's cultural dumbing down. • Even in healing debates, the question is clear: do we trust a logical God? ___ Thanks for listening!

Preached on Sunday the 5th of October, 2025.1 Peter 5:12-14 “By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son. Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.”Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay
We stand on saving, sanctifying, and serving grace.
A pardon releases a guilty person from their punishment. This is the essence of salvation. So if you are to be like Christ, how then should you pardon the people in your life who offend you? Join us for a challenging but life-changing workshop of John 13!

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Karen E Osborne, author of the book Justice for Emerson. Karen is an award-winning and Amazon Kindle best-selling author of five suspense novels–Reckonings (award-winning family saga/suspense), Tangled Lies (award-winning murder mystery), Getting It Right (recognized by Essence Magazine as a Best Read), True Grace, (award-winning historical fiction inspired by her grandmother, set in 1924 Harlem, NY), and Justice for Emerson, a dual timeline murder mystery. Karen believes in generosity and giving back. She hosts a weekly video podcast What Are You Reading? What Are You Writing? supporting fellow authors. She is on the board of directors of Easterseals Florida helping the differently abled, is an Elder in her church, volunteers for several professional organizations supporting nonprofits and feeds the hungry and unhoused every week. Native New Yorkers living in Florida, Karen and her husband, Robert, have two grown children and three grandsons. In my book review, I stated Justice for Emerson is a wonderful mystery with a side of romance and a dash of historical fiction - and I simply loved this book! Without a doubt, I am a sucker for books that cross genres. Plus, it had a dual timeline and more than one POV. The main character, Aria, loves to serve. Her career puts her on the frontlines battling homelessness, addiction, and hunger. She's a go-getter, but she's not perfect. She has a chip on her shoulder - she hates her diminutive stature and worries if others see her as a capable leader - AND she's still grieving the loss of her husband - which means she's more than conflicted about the attention of two very different and very handsome men. Things come to a head when she finds Emerson, a volunteer and Vietnam Vet who struggles with addiction, shot in the basement of her non-profit. To make matters worse, she sees the killer, and he threatens her and everyone she loves. The descriptions of those living in their cars tore at my heart. The romance stirred my heart. And the twists and turns kept my heart racing. It's a story you won't want to miss!

Our special Off The Shelf guest this morning is Karen Osborne. Karen has been an avid lover of “stories” since she was a kid. She started writing when she was 12-years-old. However, her career in academia and being a wife and mom, not to mention operating The Osborne Consulting and Training firm, saw writing take backstage. She was traveling when she wrote the first draft of “Getting It Right”. Next came her books “Tangled Lies”, “Reckonings” and “True Grace”. Her next book “Justice for Emerson” is due out March 2025.Enjoy the show!
Peter knows that, like him, we all stumble. We all get knocked down and fooled by the crafty, schemes and counterfeit truths of the Devil. But when we trust in The LORD for help and forgiveness, we can experience the true grace of God. (1 Peter 5:8-14)
What I really wanted to do was to show a strong, flawed woman - a hundred years ago! - dealing with the same issues that strong, flawed women are dealing with today.KAREN E.

We live in an age of compromise. There is a false grace being preached and promoted in the church world now. It's a false grace, it's demonic, reprobate and leading many into a life headed for hell. Today, we look at true grace which is enabling power!
The Apostle Peter wrote the letter we call 1 Peter while persecution against Christians was simmering in and around ancient Rome. He wanted his readers to be prepared for hard things to come, and he sought to prepare them by reminding them of their identity as the chosen people of God, living as exiles in a world of suffering.We conclude our series in 1 Peter looking at 1 Peter 5:12-14.Signs We Are Drifting from the True Grace of God A neglect of God's WordA growing love for worldly thingsA lukewarm prayer lifeAccountability and community are forsakenOur sin goes unchecked/unchallengedWe rely on external religious practice“I preached as never sure to preach again, and as a dying man to dying men.” Richard BaxterLife Group Discussion Questions: lifechurchnc.com/exilesLife Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who treasure Christ, grow together, and live on mission.

True Grace of God Pastor Chad Wagner There are many voices in the world and most of them are of deceiving spirits. The Bible is clear on that. In fact, there is only ONE VOICE we need to listen to and that is voice of Jesus as we hear by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen! When we learn to discern the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we are able to minister to others and pray effectively with others. We are able to discern between “good and evil” and when things being presented are not Biblically grounded in the Word of God or when things are actually proclaiming the Truth from the Word of God. One man who has taken this to the next level is Pastor Chad Wagner. Chad is the pastor of the “Excelsior Springs Church” which is an Independent Baptist Church located in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Chad is also the author of a great book titled, “The True Grace of God.” This book uses scripture to expound upon the “True Grace of God” while refuting the errors of both Arminianism and Calvinism. Amen! To open this great discussion, help me welcome to the program Pastor Chad Wagner! Pastor, thank you for taking the time to join us today! First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Chad Wagner?” In preparing for our interview today, I noticed you were in the Army and even trained at Fort Bliss, Texas, my old stomping grounds for a few years. What was your MOS in the Army? I always take the time to honor those who served this nation in the military. So thank you for your service. The military veterans hold a special place in my heart, mainly because of my 12 years of service as well. But I just wanted to take that minute to honor your service. Let's talk about your book, “The True Grace of God.” Why did you write this book and why publish it now? One thing I found on your website is the definition of salvation from Jesus' own Words, where he said in John 3:36, “…he that believes on the Son HAS eternal life.” Not “gets eternal life” but HAS it – already! Because Faith comes by HEARING and true hearing ONLY COMES by the Word of God. Share with our audience how that revelation became true for you… How did the Lord grow your faith as you studied scriptures in preparing the manuscript for this book? Explain the layout of “The True Grace of God.” From what I took away, you take certain topics and then discuss them from what the Bible has to say, plainly, in scripture… then compare the Arminian and the Calvinistic positions on the same scriptures. Correct? What is the #1 takeaway you would like your readers to understand after reading “The True Grace of God?” This sounds like a book that needs to be on the book shelves and desks of pastors around the country. They may have their toes stepped on though when reading the Truth's contained in your book. But I always say in my sermons, “If you don't want your toes stepped on, don't put your feet out from under the desk.” Amen! Pastor, how can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The True Grace of God?” Is it on...

Discover the unexpected treasure trove of wisdom with Robbie Angle, president and CEO of True Face, as he shares his transformative journey from achievement-driven existence to a life steeped in the grace of Christ. Robbie's remarkable stories, including his charitable exploits in Pakistan and profound rooftop realizations, shed light on the true meaning of discipleship and the role of character and courage in exemplifying Jesus in today's world. Our candid conversation traverses the intricate dance between faith and the pressing demands of modern masculinity, offering listeners a glimpse into the life of a man fully committed to following Christ. Allow me to take you on a heartfelt exploration of what it means to juggle the responsibilities of leading a ministry with the joys and challenges of fatherhood. Robbie's insights on intentional relationships and the example set by Jesus Himself emphasize the power of focused fellowship in our spiritual walk. Painstakingly we unpack the misconceived notions of grace as a passive attribute, revealing instead its dynamic force that incites love, cultivates the fruits of the Spirit, and reshapes our daily lives. As we conclude this powerful episode, the conversation moves towards the attractive nature of living in true identity through Christ. The theology of grace comes alive as we examine the historical and moral complexities of our faith journey. Robbie and I also highlight the vital role of community in keeping us anchored to the grace that defines us. Join us as we encourage the brave men among us to embrace their spiritual journey with courage, guided by the resources and discipleship programs available to help them thrive in their faith and everyday lives.
