Episode 287 - Grace is Greater with Philip Yancey

“Grace has nothing to do with worthiness. Grace does not depend
on what we have done for God, but rather what God has done for
us.” Award-winning author, renowned theologian, and influential
speaker, Philip Yancey, reminds us of God’s amazing grace that is
so personal and lavish. And it isn’t for us to keep for
ourselves! Listen in as Philip shares how the grace we show
points others to God and how we can extend it to those in need.

SCRIPTURES


 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for
all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly
passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives
in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing
of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave
himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify
for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for
good works. Titus 2:11-14 ESV


 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage
that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come
to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. John 16:7 ESV


By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you
have love for one another. John 13:35 ESV


Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us
in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble
with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians
1:3-4 NIV


But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to
give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for
the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
1 Peter 3:15 NIV
