AMAZING GRACE

I have been thinking so much about God's Amazing Grace! How thankful we should be because of His grace in our lives!

Ephesians 1:7 - "We have...forgiveness...according to the riches of His grace."

How many have heard the story of John Newton. When John was 11 years old, his father, a seaman groomed John for the British Navy. But John had no discipline. He was arrested for desertion, demoted and flogged, he rejected all authority in his life, and mocked Christians. One night he awoke and found his cabin filling with water, the ship was sinking, but because of the cargo the ship had a little time before it would sink totally. One of the sailors, shouted out - "We are all goners." John's life flashed before him. In that moment he repented and asked Christ into his life. John made it and he turned his life around and became a minister of the Gospel.

John wrote his story to music and perhaps is one of the most sung songs in the church world still today: "Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; tis grace hath brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home."

Tomorrow night we are going to have an AMAZING GRACE service. Where we will focus on Praise, Testimony, Communion and praying for needs! Begin to think about the Amazing Grace of God in your life!
