Becoming a Better Person For – and within – your community

GRACE Forgiveness + Mercy

Ephesians 2:1-10 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. 2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. 3 All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.

Ephesians 2: But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) 6 For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. 7 So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Forgiveness What do I hope to be shown? Matthew 7:12 (Do unto others…) Understanding, love, acceptance How do we move forward? Recognize, acknowledge, make it right “It was wrong – move along”

Mercy Micah 6:8 “ No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Love mercy Don’t just show mercy – love mercy Relish in the opportunity to show grace

HUMANIZ E each other

Humanizing each other Strangers Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, cousins Valuable human beings Community Your pain is my pain – we suffer and celebrate together Maybe this is why we can’t be wholly in more than one community at a time?

Do for one what you wish you could do for many. Humanizing each other

LISTEN with the intent of understanding

Listening + understanding Learn each others stories Stop judging situations Don’t even speak

SHOW GRACE HUMANIZE EACHOTHER Listen forgiveness + mercy given freely: no regard for merit do for one what you wish you could do for many with the intent of understanding
