What happens when loving others becomes difficult?

Our natural response to being hurt, inconvenienced, or frustrated is to evaluate or measure people by what they did or didn’t do.

Grace doesn’t come naturally to us. 70% of people struggle to forgive someone who has deeply hurt them.

Today, we’re going to explore how we can become more grace-filled, following Jesus’ example of unfiltered grace—grace that is raw, real, and freely given.

God gives not based on merit but on His goodness.

​​We often believe that grace should be earned, but Jesus shows us that grace is freely given.

Grace releases us and allows room for transformation

• Grace reflects the love of Christ • Grace frees us from bitterness and allows room for transformation • Grace brings healing
