Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: Invite The God Of All Grace In Date: 11-27-2016 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The central message is that Christians are called to reflect the life of Jesus Christ in all circumstances, which requires an abundance of grace. The speaker emphasizes that true devotion to God is not found in ideal or planned circumstances, but rather in depending on Him even when life is inconvenient or difficult. Therefore, believers must intentionally invite the God of all grace into every circumstance, regardless of how imperfect it seems.

God is able to make all grace abound to youThe speaker shares 2 Corinthians 9:8 as a favorite verse, highlighting the promise that God provides all sufficiency and an abundance for every good deed.

Recognizing our lack in daily circumstancesThe speaker reflects on how none of us can honestly say we felt no lack this past week or perfectly manifested the nature of Jesus Christ in every situation.

Blaming circumstances for a lack of wholeheartednessWe often make excuses like 'if only this circumstance were different, I would give God more,' falsely believing that certain situations prevent us from manifesting Christ.

The illusion of the perfect environment for honoring GodThe speaker shares a personal story of planning to read the Bible during a quiet time, only to be interrupted by a crying baby and initially thinking he couldn't honor God now.

Depending on God in the circumstance He actually placed us inThe Lord comforted the speaker by revealing that we honor Him most by humbling ourselves and depending on Him in the actual situation He ordained, rather than our envisioned ideal circumstances.

Finding grace during a differing date night desireAnother personal example involves a date night where the speaker and his wife wanted to do different things, tempting him to pout in his spirit.

He giveth more grace when the burden grows greaterRemembering a line from a song, the speaker realized that having to die to his own desires was an opportunity to receive more grace from God instead of getting upset.

God changes our attitude when we lean on HimAt the end of the date night, the speaker genuinely enjoyed the activity he didn't want to do, proving that God supplied the grace to completely change his attitude.

The petty things that keep us from graceThe speaker acknowledges that while these examples feel petty, it is often these small frustrations that prevent us from fully experiencing God's overflowing grace.

A willful and conscious acknowledgment of God's sovereigntyInviting the God of all grace requires more than a reflexive prayer; it demands a willful determination to humble ourselves under His mighty hand.

Submitting to God's plan for our trainingGod's sovereignty often places us in circumstances that are not to our liking but serve as part of His plan to train us so we can manifest the life of Jesus.
