Grace And Works - Sermon for September 27th, 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How does gratitude change when we recognize that salvation is not something we earn, but a gift we receive? This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Paul Cunningham continues our series through Ephesians with a message titled “Grace and Works,” based on Ephesians 2:1-10. Focusing on verses 4 and 5, we will reflect on God’s great love and rich mercy, which make us alive with Christ, even when we cannot save ourselves. Through gratitude, we are invited to respond to His grace with lives shaped by thankfulness and good works. Come and join us this Sunday to consider what it means to live each day from a place of gratitude for all God has done.
Sermon Questions:
1. What can I do this week to make a difference in the lives of those around me?
2. Prayer Practice – Gratitude. Begin or end each day with three things you are grateful for.
