Summary

Grace is a gift most of us don’t know how to receive. We’ve been so inundated with the earthly systems of give-and-get and work-and-earn that grace is a concept few ever fully grasp. Yet it’s grace alone that has the power to transform lives. Grace alone has the power to bring freedom to the captives. By grace alone we are saved. Today we’re launching a new series, taking time every day to discover and receive the grace of our good and loving Father.

Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Corinthians 12:9, and today's worship is Good Grace by Red Rocks Worship.

From now until August 26th we are offering a bundle of two printed First15 devotionals: Grace + Grow for your donation of $40 or more.

With the Grace + Grow Bundle you can:

0:46.1	Our verse for today comes from 2 Corinthians 12, verse 9, where Scripture says. But he

1:13.6	Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses so that the power of
1:19.7	Christ may rest upon me. It seems like every day I discover new ways in which I am
1:29.4	weak and in need. Whether it be sin, physical exhaustion, or emotional
1:37.0	dependence, I'm constantly discovering my need for help. But daily I also discover a God
1:46.8	who is wholly sufficient in all the ways that I'm weak. Daily I receive rejuvenation from
1:54.3	my Heavenly Father who seems to take these weaknesses of mine and use them for his kingdom.

2:42.2	into our greatest strength. In his grace, all he asks of us is to have a heart open,
