changed by grace

Mike Howerton - Lead Pastor The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:14,16,17 NIV

The truth: Jesus meets us as _______________ ________________________ As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. Romans 3:10,11 NLT God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8,9 NLT

We have been transformed…that’s called ____________________ For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:21 NLT Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV How foolish can you be? After starting your new lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort? Galatians 3:3 NLT

We are being transformed…that’s called ____________________ “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Jeremiah 31:33b NIV

When we do stumble: 1. _____________________ If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8,9 NIV

2. __________________ on So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy.” 1 Peter 1:13-16 MSG

We will be transformed…that’s called ____________________ This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ… Ephesians 4:13-15a NLT

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 1 Corinthians 13:11 NIV For God is at work with you, helping you want to obey Him and then helping you do what He wants. Philippians 2:13 TLB
