Sermon
"God-Breathed"
2 Timothy 3:14-4:5
imothy is reminded that scripture is inspired by God and is useful in instructing and equipping Christians for meaningful discipleship in the world. Scripture is “God-breathed,” a more literal translation of inspired. It calls to mind breath hovering over the formless void at creation. It recollects the Spirit breathed onto and into the first disciples and, indeed, us. With strong and faithful financial giving commitments made this Faith Promise Sunday, we respond with joy and hope to the manifold ways in which God in Christ through the Spirit has equipped Grace to carry out ministry for the sake of the Gospel.

"The Banality of Grace" with Pastor Bruce Modahl
Grace's former Senior Pastor, Bruce Modahl, will present material from his new book “The Banality of Grace.” He says, “We can usually muster the courage to live faithfully through the momentous events in our lives. Courage falters in the details of the day. So, it is in the daily, the mundane, pedestrian, prosaic, quotidian, and even banal that God shows us our place in God’s momentous story.” Books will be available at the session.
