Amazing Grace

ZChurch message for January 15, 2022 (see the full service at https://youtu.be/KrKCDkX_uFE)

Amazing Grace is not just a song but an absolute reality in the kingdom of God. Pastor Loretta ministers from I Corinthians 15:10 TPT, “But God’s amazing grace has made me who I am!  And his grace to me was not fruitless. In fact, I worked harder than all the rest, yet not in my own strength but God’s, for his empowering grace is poured out upon me.”  Receiving grace for all you are to accomplish in this life is vital. Be strengthened in your inward man as you begin this new year.

1 Corinthians 15:10 (TPT) But God’s amazing grace has made me who I am! And his grace to me was not fruitless. In fact, I worked harder than all the rest, yet not in my own strength but God’s, for his empowering grace is poured out upon me.

1 Corinthians 15:10 (NKJV) But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Galatians 2:21a I do not frustrate the grace of God..

2 Corinthians 12:9 And He said to me “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

1 Corinthians 15:1-10 (NKJV) Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you–unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8 Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

John 1:14, 16 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth… 16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.

Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)

1 Corinthians 2:4-5 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

1 Corinthians 1:30 (NKJV) But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God –and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.

1 Corinthians 1:30 (AMP) But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God [revealing His plan of salvation], and righteousness [making us acceptable to God], and sanctification [making us holy and setting us apart for God], and redemption [providing our ransom from the penalty for sin]

Romans 5:20b But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…

Proverbs 24:16 For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity.

Ephesians 1:6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
