Amazing Grace | Grace-Tinted Lenses - Season 5, Episode 28
How do we see others—and ourselves—when pride and judgment cloud our vision? In this sermon, Joshua Clayton examines John 4's encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman to argue that grace fundamentally transforms our perspective. Through the lens of grace, we learn to see ourselves as sinners saved by God's unmerited favor, to recognize others as souls beloved by God rather than categories to judge, and to become stewards of the grace we have received. Pastor Joshua illustrates how this shift in vision—from condemnation to compassion—mirrors Christ's own approach to the broken and outcast. The sermon challenges listeners to identify their "must-needs-go-through" moments and to extend grace daily to those around them, recognizing that a single act of grace can alter the trajectory of someone's eternity.

Amazing Grace | Grace Beyond Legalism - Season 5, Episode 23
Is it possible to follow the rules and still miss the heart of God? Many believers drift toward legalism, measuring themselves and others by external standards while neglecting the transforming power of grace. In Matthew 23:23–28, Pastor John examines Christ’s sharp rebuke of the Pharisees, exposing how pride and hypocrisy obscure mercy, faith, and love. Jesus confronts rule-keeping that substitutes for repentance and reveals that grace, not self-righteous virtue, restores sinners and advances the gospel. The message calls listeners to reject fear-driven legalism and extend the same grace they have received, so their lives may reflect God’s love to a watching world.

Amazing Grace | Seventy Times Seven - Season 5, Episode 20
When someone wounds you deeply, how many times are you expected to forgive? Is there a limit to grace when the offense feels unforgivable? In this message, Pastor Andrew examines Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:21–35, showing that those who have received immeasurable mercy must extend that same mercy to others. He confronts the instinct for retaliation and exposes how unforgiveness binds the heart, while forgiveness reflects the compassion of God. Grace, though unnatural to the flesh, is cultivated through dependence upon Christ. Listeners are challenged to release resentment, trust God’s justice, and practice forgiveness as an act of obedience, worship, and freedom.

Amazing Grace | The Amazing Grace of the Waiting Father - Season 5, Episode 18
Have you ever felt so far gone in rebellion, failure, or shame that returning to God—or to anyone—seems impossible, or wondered why the church sometimes feels like the last place offering true forgiveness? In Luke 15:11-32, Pastor Ben examines Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son, where a rebellious younger son squanders his inheritance in reckless living, hits rock bottom feeding pigs, and returns home expecting only servitude—yet encounters a father who runs to embrace him, restores him fully with robe, ring, and feast, declaring him alive and found. The sermon shows that God’s grace is unconditional love that neither increases with our performance nor decreases with our sin; it cost the Father everything at the cross and offers forgiveness freely to the undeserving. Recognize your own rebellion or self-righteous striving, receive God’s extravagant grace without earning it, and extend that same unmerited forgiveness and compassion to others who need it most.
