Whether you are here in person or engaging from home, we are thankful you have chosen to worship with us today. If it is your first time, welcome! we would love to get to know you better. Would you consider filling out our Next Steps card and let us know you stopped by?

At Grace Family we focus our worship on Sunday to impact our lives every other day of the week as well. We also believe no one is perfect but everyone is welcome to worship God with us. So, no matter where you're from, what you've done, or what your week has been like, let's worship God and learn from His word together today.

Jesus is the most controversial and consequential person in all of history.

Who is Jesus?

God is three persons.

Each person is fully God.

There is one God.

The persons of the Trinity eternally exist as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus became just like us to become justification for us.

The Incarnation.

The Word became flesh…   - John 1:14

Luke 1:35

"35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God."

Luke 2:6-7

"6 And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. 7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them."

Jesus was 100% God and 100% man.

How do we know Jesus was God?

-Jesus displayed power over the human condition, weather events, and spiritual beings. (Matthew 8)

-Jesus claimed to be God himself.

John 8:58

"58 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I am!"

How do we know Jesus was human?

-Jesus was born. (Luke 2:7)

-Jesus grew up. (Luke 2:40)

-Jesus became hungry. (Matthew 4:2)

-Jesus felt emotions. (John 11:35)

-Jesus died. (Mark 15:37

The Atonement

Romans 3:23-25

"23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24 Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. 25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past,"

Mark 10:45

"45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

A single life is paid for by death.

A sinless life can pay for another’s debt.

2 Corinthians 5:21

"21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin,[a] so that we could be made right with God through Christ."

Jesus is the sinless sacrifice offered for us.

We Respond

Do I need Jesus?

Titus 3:3-6

"3 Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other. 4 But—When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, 5 he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.[a] 6 He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior."

All graves are bought and paid for, but Jesus returned his.

Jesus became just like us to become justification for us.

We Remember

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

"23 For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread 24 and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you.[a] Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.” 26 For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again."
