Grace Chapel
Welcome to Grace Chapel! Recovering our awe of Christ requires that we detach the gaze of our soul from our own failings, weaknesses, lack of strength or even desire, and look intently into the face of the One who knows our every shade and shadow. In Jesus, we find forgiveness, purpose and awe that compels the Christian faith daily.
Following Christ is not a COMPETITION. (vv. 20-23)
1 Corinthians 12:11 ESV
1 Corinthians 12:18 ESV
Following Christ demands that you bear WITNESS to His work. (v. 24)
If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. — C.S. Lewis
Following Christ should cultivate unending AWE for God in your life. (v. 25)
“I came to see that I was wired for awe, that awe of something sits at the bottom of everything I say and do. But I wasn’t just wired for awe. I was wired for awe of God. No other awe satisfies the soul. No other awe can give my heart the peace, rest, and security that it seeks. I came to see that I needed to trace awe of God down to the most mundane of human decisions and activities.” ― Paul David Tripp; Awe: Why It Matters for Everything We Think, Say, and Do
Psalm 145:5 ESV
