At the threshold of a new door opened by grace

Tonight, I finished my very first leading of a bible discussion group. I've done this at least once before but tonight was the very first time I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. Praise Jesus! Hallelujah!

Our discussion focused on the topic of Law and Grace. What is Law? What is Grace? Are they two separate things or can they be mixed together. Are you a Jesus-centered Christian or a rule-based Christian? Yes, that's right - many who profess to be Christian can be of either types. When you obey the Law to make right with God then you are the latter. When you allow the Grace of God to lead you to the obedience of the faith in Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross then you are the former.

I chose this topic because it's very close to my heart. Grace is not just a doctrine. Grace is literally Jesus Christ. The world did not deserve Him but He freely came so we may believe and have an eternity of the abundant life.

The transcript of my presentation is available here.
