Summary
God’s grace is the foundation of our freedom, a sure gift made available to us again every morning. Every mistake we make is covered. Every sin is forgiven. And my hope is that as we center our hearts and minds around God’s grace, that his forgiveness and mercy open a pathway to true freedom for us today.
Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Corinthians 15:56-57, and today's worship is By The Grace of God by The Worship Initiative feat Hannah Hardin.
