Sermon Series, September 7-November 23, 2025: Accessible Grace

In the series Accessible Grace: The Kingdom in Our Midst, we’ll journey through the teachings, parables, and encounters where Jesus reveals that God’s kingdom isn’t just a lofty ideal but a present reality accessible to everyone. Jesus breaks down the barriers that keep us from experiencing God’s grace, showing us that the kingdom of God is closer than we think—within reach in our everyday lives. As we explore these powerful moments, we’ll discover how to live fully in the grace and truth of God’s kingdom, embracing the abundant life Jesus offers. This series invites us to see the in-breaking of God’s kingdom all around us, transforming us as individuals and as a community.
