20 You don't want Karma

21 What Karma seeks to Enslave Grace sets Free

22 You don't want Karma You want Grace

23 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

24 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need - Hebrews 4:15-16

25 Changes how we approach God Especially when we've sinned

26 Karma is built on fear and enslaves Grace is built on love and sets free

27 What Karma seeks to Enslave Grace sets Free

28 Desire for Justice

29 God is just- else he's not God

30 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord” - Romans 12:19

31 God is just- else he's not God NOTHING escapes him God sees the evil He knows the injustice

32 God responds to sin in two ways: Hell The brutal slaughter of his Son on the Cross for your sins in your place

33 Either Jesus pays Or you pay Justice must be satisfied Or God isn't a good God

34 We've received Grace

35 We've received Grace The grace you've received Forms the basis for the Grace you're called to give

36 Receiving Grace Makes you responsible to Give Grace

37 Receiving Grace Makes you responsible to Give Grace (You can't do it…But God can)

38 "How many times do I have to forgive, Jesus?" - Peter, Matthew 18

39 10,000 Talents Forgiven (1 Talent= 20 years' wages)

42 What Karma seeks to Enslave Grace sets Free

43 The only thing that keeps grace From being effective in your life Is Ungrace in your heart

44 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

45 Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you” - Luke 6:37-38 Only if I give grace Do I find grace

46 You don't want to believe in Karma- And you don't want to invoke it…

47 Karma (Unforgiveness) nullifies God's grace in my own life…

48 Lord's Prayer

49 Lord's Prayer and then… For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses - Matthew 6:14-15

50 What Karma The Enemy seeks to Enslave Grace sets Free

51 Syncretism

52 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world - James 1:27 Context: Anger

53 The Real Issue: Can I pray for him/her? As a broken person Who has received Grace Giving that Grace To another broken person Christ died for

54 How many people Do we reach for Jesus As we invoke Karma?

57 A Mother's life is like a bank: “Every child that is born to her enters the world with a large and prosperous bank account, seemingly inexhaustible.” The child initially makes withdraws but no deposits. When the child is an adult, he must replenish the account that he has drawn down.

58 She listed all the ways that he should do this: Birthday cards, flowers on Mother's Day, and above all not “neglecting your duties to God and your Savior, Jesus Christ.”

59 Hemingway hated his mother Rejected her "faith"

60 Ungrace reaches no one Grace leaves few untouched Include the one who gives it

61 Grace is a Revolution Viva la Revolucion!

65 Right now- Have I been turned off to the Faith But I need to follow Jesus?
