Pastor sue introduces our series on "Extend Grace". She stresses the authority that is found in receiving and giving grace.

Grace is a new way of seeing. It is our entry point into the Kingdom of God - where we come under His authority and receive His authority by dying to our old selfish life. Grace happens through prayer and activates the blessing of God in every area of our lives, enabling us to live the "life in all its fulness" that he promises.

When grace is entered into, we can expect hope, kingdom "riches", and a life of power to be increasingly manifested in our lives. Forgiveness is an essential part of grace, received when we come to God in repentance. Once received it needs to be passed on - that is the kingdom of God in operation.

Sue encourages us to understand, experience, and share these aspects of grace in all the situations and relationships we encounter in life.
