In the series, ‘The Promises of God’, Ben Hodgson talks about ‘The Promise of Grace’. Grace is defined as ‘undeserved favour’. We cannot earn it; it is an unconditional gift.  Matthew 9:9-13 clearly shows that God was interested in people such as the tax collector and the sick and He showed grace to everyone whether they were rich or poor. The promise of grace is unconditional in that grace comes first, before our apology or repentance and God desires us to experience relationship and not religion or perfection. The promise of grace is also unpopular in that, just as in Jesus' time, there will always be opposition to grace, mercy and kindness. Christians need to be dispensers of grace to all nations, even when people do not deserve it. Finally, the promise of grace is universal; available for all people, and there is hope for everyone.

In a message on building great communities, Paul Jukes begins by reminding us that we are part of the Kingdom of God! We serve a GREAT King who demonstrates great love, anger and mercy. If it wasn't for God's great love, anger and mercy, we would not have Jesus! When he was born as a baby, Jesus brought God's great kingdom to earth. The Church is God's great body, made up of people serving one another. Jesus laid down all of the power, privilege and authority as King and modelled servanthood to us all. This is key to building a great community!
