Grace and mercy be with all our listeners, with the emphasis on the more important element, grace. One of the major deceptions in the Christian world today is the confusion in the definition of grace, applying the small part of the definition, which is mercy, to the whole definition. Teachers are fixated on “undeserved favor” as if that’s all grace is. They miss out on the empowerment of God to avoid sin and walk in obedience. Jesus is the personification of that grace or empowerment in us to love, to bless, to forgive, to do miracles, and to walk the walk of obedience in Jesus. This is an important series that will empower you. Below are resumes of some of our audios in this series. We believe all of the teachings will bless and empower you.

By Joyce Gingerich

Sometimes love doesn’t come easy. But when you rely on God’s graces, it’s natural—or should we say, it’s supernatural! Joyce gives a needed explanation of all the twenty-five major graces of God, which all in one way or another empower us to love as God does. You can love your enemy or unjust boss like David loved King Saul, who tried to kill him. You can love an idiot husband like Abigail loved Nabal. You can love your wife in strange circumstances like Joseph loved a pregnant Mary who said God impregnated her. Joyce goes into all these examples. Since God is Love, His grace or empowerment to love is among the most important graces. Every good gift comes down from the Father of lights, but the greatest of these is love. Look for this feature audio. Listen and you will receive the bonus of another inspired rap song on love.

By Pastor Robert Scott

Pastor and author Robert B. Scott gets personal in this audio. It’s a perfect adjunct to the new book that is now hot off the presses, God’s Fruit of Forgiveness, coauthored by Youth Pastor Scott Bishop. Robert speaks candidly of his twenty-five year experience of unforgiveness with its tormentors, finally accepting one of the twenty-five graces of God, the grace to forgive. He explains the forgiveness concept in the framework of the rest, including the Sabbath rest, in Jesus in Hebrews 4. He emphasizes the need to go before the throne of grace to receive mercy and grace in time of need—when you have been badly hurt and need special empowerment to forgive others, yourself, or God. He uses striking examples from his personal life and the lives of others who struggled in unforgiveness, and in some cases, died because of it. This can be a life-saving teaching. Don’t miss it!

By Lynda Scott

In thee troublesome, stressful times, how we need comfort! And how we need comforters! We receive all too often more hurts than comforts and blessings. Lynda stresses our need to be filled with the power and comfort of the Comforter Himself, the Holy Spirit. When we go through trials, we rely on His comfort, and we are then able to comfort and bless others because of the Holy Spirit’s comfort during our trials. God calls us to be blessed by Him so we can be a blessing to others. As we bless and comfort others, we give and we receive. We reap what we sowed. Learn to live a life of blessing and comfort to others. The blessings will come back on you!

Did you hear that right? Is it possible in this world of gossip, criticism, and complaining to actually say no to those common practices? Some will say, “God, why did you put Philippians 2:14 in the Bible? Don’t you know in this wicked world with all its problems and frustrations, it just isn’t possible to do “all things without grumbling or disputing”? He will probably say as He did to Paul, “Quit whining! My grace is sufficient for you. My power is perfected in weakness. I’ve given you all you need to empower you to stop gossiping, criticizing, and complaining. Marilyn has a way of making the Bible practical when it comes to our daily life, and she shines in this teaching. She will show you that all things are possible with God—in you! Jesus is the Grace that can enable us to control our tongues. Let’s use that power! 

By Charley West

This is one of the most misunderstood subjects in the Christian world, and Charley has given one of our most complete teachings on this subject in this interesting audio message. Grace is not mercy, and mercy is not grace. Mercy is, however, a small part of grace. Grace is power. Grace is Jesus. Grace is Jesus in us to empower us to do all things in Him. This is a special teaching in that Charley also gives shows us how to receive the grace to get out of debt! You will learn in this audio what most Christians have no inkling of, and it will set you free to walk in the power of Jesus!
