Overwhelming Grace
Grace isn’t just a comforting thought; it’s an empowering Presence that fills our hearts and fuels our lives. In this episode, we explore how Jesus, our High Priest, invites us to draw near with confidence, receive under pressure, and live boldly in our true identity.
Key Scriptures:
+ Hebrews 4:14. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
