When I think about the Lord, How He saved me, how He raised me How He filled me with the Holy Ghost, How He healed me to the uttermost When I Think About The Lord
When I think about the Lord, How he picked me up, turned me around How He set my feet on solid ground When I Think About The Lord
It makes me want to shout, Hoo!! Hallelujah!! Thank you Jesus Lord, you're worthy of all the glory, And all the honor, And all the praise When I Think About The Lord

When peace like a river attendeth my way When sorrows like sea billows roll Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say It is well It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul It is well It is well with my soul
My sin O the bliss of this glorious tho’t My sin not in part but the whole Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more Praise the Lord praise the Lord O my soul
It is well with my soul It is well It is well with my soul
And Lord haste the day When the faith shall be sight The clouds be rolled back as a scroll The trump shall resound And the Lord shall descend Even so it is well with my soul
It is well with my soul It is well It is well with my soul X2
Offering Song “On My Cross”
How wide is Your love That You would stretch Your arms And go around the world And why for me would a Savior's cry be heard I don't know Why You went where I was meant to go I don't know Why You love me so
Those were my nails That was my crown That pierced Your hands and your brow Those were my thorns Those were my scorns Those were my tears that fell down And just as You said it would be You did it all for me After You counted the cost You took my shame, my blame On my cross
How deep is Your grace That you could see my need And chose to take my place And then for me, these words I'd hear You say “Father no Forgive them for they know not what they do I will go Because I love them so
Those were my nails That was my crown That pierced Your hands and your brow Those were my thorns Those were my scorns Those were my tears that fell down And just as You said it would be You did it all for me After You counted the cost You took my shame, my blame On my cross

Grace to you KIF Spring 2011 Sermon Series - Ephesians
Ephesians1:2,3 2 Graceto you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
Grace = Joy • THAT WHICH GIVES JOY, PLEASURE, DELIGHT... • This is the original idea of the Greek word "charis" • It is used in the N.T. in this way in reference to SPEECH... • The words of Jesus were spoken with grace - Lk 4:22 And all were speaking well of Him, and wondering at the gracious words which were falling from His lips; • The words of the Christian are to impart grace to the hearers - Col 4:6Let your speech always be with grace
Grace = Unmerited Favor B. GOOD-WILL, LOVINGKINDNESS, FAVOR... • In this way, it is used ... • Of the kindness of a master towards his inferiors or servants • And especially of God towards men 2. THAYER points out that: • "CHARIS contains the idea of kindness which bestows upon one what he has not deserved." • "The NT writers use CHARIS preeminently of that kindness by which God bestows favors even upon the ill-deserving, and grants to sinners the pardon of their offenses, and bids them accept of eternal salvation through Christ." - e.g., Ep 2:5 3. It is this particular definition of grace that prompts us to think of it most often as "unmerited favor"
Grace verses Ephesians 2:5 (New American Standard Bible) 5even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), Romans 5:20,2120 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Grace = a state C. A SPIRITUAL STATE OR CONDITION IN WHICH ONE ENJOYS GOD'S FAVOR... • When one accepts God's grace, they are in a "state of grace" • Ro 5:1-2; 1Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.
Grace = Gratitude D. AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE FOR FAVOR BESTOWED... • E.g., 1Ti 1:12 where the English word is "thank" ("I thank Jesus Christ...") • his is what is meant when people ask someone to "say grace" before eating a meal
Grace • Joy • Unmerited Favor • A state • Gratitude
Grace • Joy Philippians 4:4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Romans 5:2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.
Grace • Unmerited Favor Philippians 1:6Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Ephesians 2: 8-108 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Grace • A state Romans 5:2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! Galatians 3:26So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,
Grace • Gratitude 1 Corinthians 1:4I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus 1 Thessalonians 5:18givethanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus
