About this sermon

6/11/2023 Did you know that being a “good person” is not good enough? The Bible tells us that the human condition is broken and sinful and therefore we need a Savior—Jesus. We can’t do or say enough good things to overcome our broken condition. But here’s the good news—God offers us forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus and what He did on the cross when he died for our sins. That act of kindness and mercy is God’s grace. In today’s teaching from a sermon that Paul delivered in Acts 13, Pastor Gary urges us to embrace God’s grace and receive the forgiveness we all need! 00:00 - Introduction 06:44 - Paul’s First Missionary Tour 06:49 - Took about 2 years to complete 06:56 - He will sail from Syria to the island of Cyprus to several cities in Asia Minor(Turkey) and then back to Antioch in Syria 08:31 - His traveling companion is Barnabas; the are later joined by John Mark (writer of the Gospel of Mark) 08:44 - Paul’s first convert is Sergius Paulus, the proconsul (governor) of Cyprus 18:25 - The Definition of GRACE in the Bible: “God’s unmerited favor; His undeserved kindness” 19:38 - The word “Grace” (or some form of it) appears 185 times in the Bible. 19:48 - First time “grace” appears in the Bible(Gen.6:8) - “but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” 20:58 - Last time “grace” appears in the Bible (Rev. 22:21) - “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
