  1. ALL BY GRACE SERMON BY JOEL M. GNATCHIGLO

  2. GRACE • Divine influence which operates in humans to regenerate & sanctify, to inspire virtuous impulses, and to impart strength, to endure trial and resist temptation; and an individual virtue or excellence of divine origin. • Something you receive that you don’t merit • The power of God made available to meet all our needs.

  3. Grace and the Law • John 1:14, 16-17: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 16 and of his fullness have we all received, and grace for grace. 17 for the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

  4. His Grace is Sufficient II Corinthians 12:7-10 says, “…a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so I would not exalt myself. 8 Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times to take it away from me. 9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. 10 So because of Christ, I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in catastrophes, in persecutions, and in pressures. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

  5. GRACE • Grace in supply:- More to come; • Grace in Salvation:-1Tim.1:15-16 • Grace in Suffering:- 1Pet. 5:10 (But may the God of grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you); • Grace in Sin:- Rom.5:20 (Moreover, the law entered that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more); • Grace in Service:- IICor.9:8 (And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance of every good work).

  6. Living In God’s Grace • Surrender Absolutely to God; • Walk in the light and be gracious to others • Praise God always for His Grace

  7. Hindrances of Grace • Proud Spirit. 1Pet.5:5-7 • How we conduct ourselves in marriage 1Pet3:7 • Spirit of Bitterness • Devaluing what you have been blessed with.

  8. May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. AMEN • 2Cor. 13:14
