What is Grace?
It really is a simple question. But sometimes simple questions can be so difficult to answer.
A couple weeks ago, my friend Jason Andera and I did another “man/woman on the street” video in downtown Sioux Falls. We asked one question…”What is Grace?” The answers we got were amazing and fascinating. You can check out the video online @ http://rejoiceforlife.homestead.com/videograce.html.
During this next month Rejoice! will be exploring the topic of "Grace" in our new sermon series "Grace Anatomy." (yup…that is shameless rip-off word play of the TV show “Grey’s Anatomy.” Come and join us...then afterward blog-in and give comment. We would love to hear from you.
If you cannot be there with us in person, feel free to listen or watch the messages online via our streamed audio, video and podcasts @ http://rejoiceforlife.homestead.com/podcast.html
Come on People...Chime in...let's hear your comments. What does Grace mean to you?
Give 'em Heaven!

What does "Grace" mean to me? Grace is God's loving arms lifting me up when I fall; Grace is God's tears when someone hurts me; and Grace is God's forgiveness when I hurt Him or others. Grace is the assurance that I always have a place in God's heart.
GRACE = God Rejoicing At Calling Everyone!!!
Thanks for the great message, PTR! The "bullhorn man" can just go home...no one wants to hear what he has to say! It is so wonderful to know that God loves us for WHO we are, just the WAY we are, because of WHOSE we are.
Sonia...yes the "Bullhorn guy" can go home...he does more hurt than help.
Thanks also for sharing your experiences of Grace...beautiful words about God's beautiful gift.
Jim...I really like your reworking the GRACE acronym from God's Riches at Christ's Expense to even better God's Riches at Calling Everyone...nice!
Grace is a wonderful thing to "suffer" through....we are blessed to be given God's grace, but it can be so hard for us to extend that grace to others...especially when we don't necessarily think they deserve it. Remember what scripture tells us:
Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord.
Romans 12:19
Leave your rocks at the foot of the cross...and your weight will be lifted.
