Episode 276 - God Never Gives Up on You with Max Lucado

“I realize how frail the flesh can be, how strong temptation can
be. The fact that God would not only forgive me, but choose to
use me is a daily reminder of His grace.” Today’s special guest
is Max Lucado. Max is a pastor, teacher and America’s
best-selling inspirational author. He is here to talk about God’s
grace, mercy and relentless love through the story of Jacob in
the Bible. There is hope, even for us who have a bit of a tilted
halo.

SCRIPTURES


 The Lord said to her,


“Two nations are in your womb,


    and two peoples from within you will be
separated;


one people will be stronger than the other,


    and the older will serve the younger.” Genesis
25:23 NIV


For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not
your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so
that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV


So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him
but a few days because of the love he had for her. Genesis 29:20
ESV


Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows,
that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh
will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the
Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Galatians 6:7-8
ESV


 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ
Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:1 NIV
