TPP #151 | Extending Grace with Danielle Zapchenk
Manage episode 429322659 series 3330272
Ever find it difficult to extend grace to others? Today I would love to share one of my recent messages from our home church (West Ridge), please enjoy this message wherever it may find you today.
Message Notes:
Extend Grace to others and not allow the junk to get to you.
We have cause to celebrate because the grace of God has appeared, offering the gift of salvation to all people. Titus 2:11 The Voice
What can happen when we don’t deal grace to the challenging people in our life?
Complete obstruction.
Choosing to stay, when you should be moving forward.
Is it time to let go?
Grace arrives with its own instruction: run away from anything that leads us away from God; abandon the lusts and passions of this world; live life now in this age with awareness and self-control, doing the right thing and keeping yourselves holy. Titus 2:12
1.Ask if it is worth it?
2.Set Boundaries
3.Repeated Prayer
God our Savior and His overpowering love and kindness for humankind entered our world; He came to save us. It’s not that we earned it by doing good works or righteous deeds; He came because He is merciful. He brought us out of our old ways of living …and He made us completely new through the Holy Spirit, Titus 3:4-5
Reflection Questions:
1. Ask if is it worth it? – I am pretty sure this is the top phrase I ask my kids when they are in a fight or upset with each other. Is whatever happened – worth holding onto anymore, is it worth thinking about?
2. Set Boundaries - Now I know some of these people are your family or co-workers and you can’t just not see them anymore. But, you can choose to decide how much access they have to your life.
