Grace Grenades
Our team handpicks content from around the world to explain, demonstrate, or celebrate God’s love for all people through His Son Jesus Christ—it could be a sermon, song, TV series, or an expression of art. If it leads people to Jesus’ finished work at the cross, it’s a Grace Grenade.
Intuitive Eating for Christian Women: BOOK CLUB Grace Food and Everything In Between by Aubrey Golbek
I’ve always thought that my health and body size was dependent on me. But the Bible tells us differently. God has control of my health, regardless of what diet I am on or not on. Jesus has declared all food good – all food is a gift meant to be enjoyed. I don’t need...
Wally Odum: Grace and Faith Work Together
I can intensely study a perfect clock telling me perfect time, but no matter my focus, trust, and belief in the clock, it cannot give me MORE time. It is only a perfect reflection of time. The Law reflects my need for Grace. I have attended many churches and listened...
Wally Odum: Grace Means We Can’t Lose
I could be holding a Royal Straight Flush and will lose every time if the game is Crazy 8s. After the Pin was Pulled I traded in my good works scorecard for a VIP membership card. God has been at work in the past, is working in the present, and will work in my future...
Lee Penley: Grace and . . .
Do you like the smell of sizzling bacon? How about menu items "wrapped in bacon?" It's hard to go wrong adding bacon in my book, even with an upcharge. But guess what, this grenade shows me a life add-on BETTER THAN BACON, and there's NO COST to me.
Steve McVey: Grace Walk
"The victorious Christian life is nothing less than the life of Christ being expressed through the child of God. Any behavior that is not dependent on Him living His life through us comes from the flesh." Chapter 7 - I was like the proverbial monkey with my hand...
Teri Miller: Bucket Dropping
Jesus meets me with Grace not judgment even on our very first encounter. Whenever I lay down MY PLAN Jesus is ALWAYS offering a bigger better plan. When I have a real encounter with the Grace of Jesus, my inclination is to testify to others what He's done for me. The...
Wally Odum: Managing God’s Grace
I now realize there's a huge difference between man's grace (polite kindness) and God's Grace given to us as gifts in the form of talents and abilities to serve others. So cool to think I'm not in competition with my fellow believers but rather I'm given the...
Wally Odum: Ask The Right Questions
Before my PIN was pulled, I remember feeling really guilty about having questions. I felt like I lacked faith, or was challenging God in some weird way. Now I realize no questions anger God, and thanks to this grenade I've been given a set of amazing questions that I...
Wally Odum: Have Your Cake and Eat It Too
Religion entices me to think I can play a healthy role in my salvation. "It's a TRAP!" Religion also tells me I'll never measure up, but keep trying harder anyway. Grace says stop "trying" and simply believe and receive the complete and finished work of Christ on the...
Lee Penley: Joy Comes
It's like the weight of the world comes off my shoulders when I realize Grace doesn't judge why/how I find myself in the darkness. Like a room full of the best and brightest working diligently on a plan of rescue for an innocent victim is how I can imagine God is...
Lee Penley: Set Your Mind
When I’m not paying attention, I put my thinking on autopilot – a mode that can’t be trusted during treacherous conditions. If I don’t intentionally give my attention to the Way the Truth and the Life, I’ll be blown back and forth by every negative headline, tweet, or...
Wally Odum: The Day Religion Died
Have you ever awakened from a dream TOTALLY RELIEVED that it was "just a dream?" I've even had to settle myself down and repeat, "It was just a dream." That's exactly what this grenade does for me. I must never forget.
Wally Odum: A Heart Transplant
I remember being disappointed and heartbroken. I had been weighed and measured and found wanting. And this by my own account, never mind what others thought about me. I once went to a super swanky private club to which I had no access, even membership was by...
Wally Odum: Humility Attracts Grace
I'm terrified to think that I can position myself to be OPPOSED BY GOD, yet there is scripture in the New Testament that explains. Wally's grenade lays out the Good News and Bad News scenario.
Lee Penley: All Charges Are Dismissed
There is a totality to my lack of sin debt that I seldom contemplate. I act like it's an open tab with a potential balance. That bad boy has been settled and CLOSED. His Word shows me example after example, that the quantity nor quality of sin committed is of any...
Kevin Toqe: You Know
Grace is right here, right now. You are ALWAYS letting me know that I'll never find myself beyond Your Reach. Wow. My Future, My Hopes, My Dreams are just steps, mere steps of faith away - where Your Grace is waiting for me. Troy | GG Team
MercyMe: Whiplash
I've paid off some big ticket debts, and never once have I called the bank to make sure the debt was still clear. When I look back at my sin debt, am questioning whether or not my bill was fully paid? I used to think my debt was canceled, but it wasn't, it was paid in...
Kevin Toqe: Countryman
Felt awed and wooed by God. Had big dreams to take my place in the grand scheme. Life happened and shut me down hard. But His Grace never did. I now know a Grace that transcends my understanding, but makes a low priority of details. I'm like a kid in the backseat of a...
Wally Odum: Grace Opens the Door to God’s Power
I've spent much of my life hiding and forsaking my weaknesses. Grace says that's no longer necessary. Sounds strange to think I can boast in my inabilities and shortcomings. However, understanding Grace takes my attention off me and puts it on Him with much better...
Wally Odum: Law and Grace Don’t Mix
COMPLETELY BACKWARDS was my lifelong understanding of this core passage. This grenade is one of the MOST POWERFUL REVELATIONS on the site. Wow. Thanks, Wally!
Wally Odum: Grace Relies on Christ Alone
Thinking that my good works plays a role in my salvation is not only naïve - it's dangerous. In no way would I ever want to diminish the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, but that's what I do when I don't completely decouple my good works with the...
Wally Odum: God’s Grace is Free for Everyone
I used to think meeting God's standard was a hard thing, requiring all my effort and attention. I was wrong, it's easy to understand and achieve, it's just hard to believe. My eternal salvation and right standing is not at risk each time I miss the mark. God still...
Wally Odum: Grace is a Safe Place
I could never earn God's saving Grace, thereby it stands to reason that I keep my salvation based on the same parameters - by Grace through faith. The more I chew on that the more amazed I become. Grace is a place of safety, not inactivity. Resting in Grace is akin to...
Wally Odum: Grace on the First Page of the New Testament
Once my eyes were opened to God's Grace, it showed up everywhere in the Bible. Wow, even the boring parts! Grace doesn't just deal with my sin. That would be awesome and generous. No, it also puts me in places of honor that I could have never put myself, no matter how...
Wally Odum: Grace Keeps Us in the Shadow of the Cross
Grace wasn't the beginning of my salvation, it's the journey of my salvation. This perspective overshadows my critics even the one that occupies my body. The Grace revealed and demonstrated in the Gospel can be misunderstood, but not cheapened or abused. God's Grace...
Lee Penley: God Is Our Nightlight
The Creator of the Universe, the one, who sits outside of time and space, is my Father. When I remember this, the pestilence that stalks in the night flees. The darkness that once engulfed my thoughts disappears at the sight of His grace. This perfect light is a gift...
Elevation Worship: Graves Into Gardens
My greatest flaws become my greatest weapon when laid at Jesus’ feet.
Lee Penley: Do you feel empty?
Grace never rubs my face in my past like an owner scolding a dog for a carpet accident. Any remembrance or interaction with my past is to encourage or advance my progress. I often "feel" like I'm not increasing or advancing in physical or spiritual objectives and that...
Wally Odum: Penitent Thief
Consciously or subconsciously there has always been a needling feeling that I should "do" my part in the salvation process. I knew I didn't have enough for the price of admission, but surely I should empty out my pockets to at least give the appearance of having skin...
Dr. Paul Ellis: What is Grace?
Grace is God’s to give. Grace is not cheap, it cost Jesus everything. Grace is an ever-expanding revelation of God’s loving-kindness to us. It’s the one thing that makes anything matter. Without Grace, there would be no Hope. Unraveling the truth of Grace by reading...
Dr. Paul Ellis: Faith Is A Rest
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1 NIV) Faith is a noun, not a verb. It is a byproduct of beholding the glory of God and His goodness. Unbelief is unrest, and unrest is disobedience. Let us, therefore,...
Dr. Paul Ellis: The Gospel In Ten Words
Religion is vague, grace is crystal clear. The gospel is simply the good news that Jesus (Grace & Truth) came to save us from sin and death so we could live for eternity in God’s kingdom as His righteous children. The Truth is so simple, that's why the author of...
