Today I want to paint an incomplete, partial picture of what it means theologically to be under God's Grace. Knowing it and owning it are 2 different things. What is the Grace Full life? Simply put, Jesus came to impart the fullness and the abundance of the life of grace to every believer. We are saved by grace and we grow in grace. Grace teaches, encourages, and comforts us. The Grace Full life is the life that liberates us from the chains of a performance-based or guilt-riddled spiritual experience. Pure Grace ushers the believer into a relationship with God as it wonderfully establishes, sustains and satisfies our souls to the fullest for the duration of our journey in life with Him.

Philippians is Paul's joy letter. The church in that Macedonian city had been a great encouragement to Paul. In a life dedicated to serving Christ, Paul had faced excruciating poverty, abundant wealth and everything in between. He even wrote this joyful letter from prison. Whatever the circumastnces, Paul had learned to be content, finding real joy as he focused all of his attention and energy on knowing Christ and obeying him.

What are your first thoughts when I ask you the question, "What is the church?" and "What is the mission of the church?" I'm not asking for theological correctness, I'm asking for first impressions - because your deepest concepts will drive your life more than anything else. Let's get the right answer from the Lord himself, in two recorded instances where he appeared to the believers.

If the church is to get off life support and get out of intensive care, as a church our lifestyle needs to change. Peter's epistle was written to the suffering Christians - likely driven out of Jerusalem by persecution and scattered throughout Asia Minor. This group had internal issues - the pressure of the world's hatred. He instructs the church on how to win the tribe, their world, in which their life has intersected.
