In this podcast series, we discuss the biblical understanding of sanctifying grace, its role in our spiritual growth, and how it shapes our journey towards becoming more like Christ. 
We believe that sanctifying grace is not just a theological concept, but a spiritual reality that can change our hearts, renew our minds, and shape our lives in the likeness of Christ.
 
Whether you are a Biblical Counselor helping care for souls, seeking personal spiritual growth and transformation, or simply desiring to understand more about God's grace, "Sanctifying Grace" is a great episode for your edification. Our hope is that through each episode, you will be inspired and equipped to embrace the sanctifying work of God's grace in your daily life.

In this podcast series, Pastor Jeff talks about "The Grace of God for Daily Living," and explore the transformative power of God's grace in our everyday lives.
It is designed to help you understand the depth of God's unending grace and how it impacts every aspect of your life. We believe that when we fully grasp the magnitude of God's grace, we can navigate life's challenges with greater courage, find peace amidst turmoil, and experience joy even in the most difficult circumstances.
2 Peter 3:18- “but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 
The point in this verse is grace is for growing.
Grow in grace. 
For too many Christians their knowledge of the grace of God is limited to the forgiving, justifying grace of God.

2 Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.In the last days, toward the end of the church. 
The age near the coming of the Lord. 
When our time for work is about over and laboring in the harvest field. 
The times will get to be perilous. 
Difficult to live in. You know, like now. 
And the reason is “for men will be”. 
The reason the days will be difficult will be because of the characteristics of man. 
Because people will be like this. 
Therefore it's going to be very difficult and it's one more sign the time is running short.
If you've studied this passage or read these verses lately, surely your heart heard the Lord say we are in these days.
Are we not? 
What's the number one characteristic of humankind listed here, describing the last days?
Verse 2 says, “...for men will be lovers of themselves”. 
Now this makes “self” a false God. 
An idol. 
Because we are to love the Lord our God with all of our being. 
And then, as he fills our hearts with his love, we're just to pour out that love of God toward others. 
Romans five, verse five says, “...because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
And that's it. 
Loving God with all of our being because he's worthy. 
Then as he fills us with his love, poured out on others.
That's the way to live.
But, in the last days, men will be lovers of themselves. 
Lovers of themselves! 
What's God's plan for “self”? 
It isn't to love it. 
It's to crucify it! 
Luke 9:23 and elsewhere, Jesus said, “Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”
