Where can you find hope for the hopeless, 00:00:03.33\00:00:07.94 opportunity for transformation, 00:00:07.97\00:00:11.74 peace amid life's storms? 00:00:11.77\00:00:15.71 Only in God's free gift of eternal life. 00:00:15.74\00:00:20.62 From New York, join us on the Pathway of Hope. 00:00:20.65\00:00:25.12 A miner left his billfold on the counter for a store 00:00:30.39\00:00:34.43 with more than $800 in it. 00:00:34.46\00:00:37.90 An ex-convict, 00:00:37.93\00:00:39.27 whose past offense was armed robbery, 00:00:39.30\00:00:42.00 came in and saw the billfold on the counter. 00:00:42.04\00:00:45.97 What did he do? 00:00:46.01\00:00:47.84 He did not take a dime from it 00:00:47.88\00:00:50.15 but rather sought out its owner and returned it. 00:00:50.18\00:00:55.62 Amazing, isn't it? 00:00:55.65\00:00:57.92 You see, he was saved by God's grace. 00:00:57.95\00:01:02.89 The Apostle Paul says in Ephesians 28, 00:01:02.92\00:01:06.70 "For by grace are you saved through faith, 00:01:06.73\00:01:10.50 and that none of yourself, it is a gift of God." 00:01:10.53\00:01:14.57 God's grace is given to us freely. 00:01:14.60\00:01:17.97 It is not a question of what you have done 00:01:18.01\00:01:20.84 but a question of what God has done for you. 00:01:20.88\00:01:24.11 It is not a question of your unworthiness 00:01:24.15\00:01:27.32 but a question of God's righteousness. 00:01:27.35\00:01:30.55 It is not a question of your weakness 00:01:30.59\00:01:32.92 but a question of God's strength. 00:01:32.95\00:01:35.52 It is not a question of your sins 00:01:35.56\00:01:37.79 but a question of God's grace. 00:01:37.83\00:01:40.60 Dr. G. Earl Knight, the evangelist, 00:01:40.63\00:01:44.17 will speak to us about God's amazing grace. 00:01:44.20\00:01:48.67 Lift up the trumpet 00:02:11.09\00:02:16.00 And loud let it ring 00:02:16.03\00:02:21.94 Jesus is coming again 00:02:21.97\00:02:27.78 Cheer up, ye pilgrims, 00:02:33.21\00:02:38.65 Be joyful and sing 00:02:38.69\00:02:44.63 Jesus is coming again

The Lamb that was slain 00:03:24.43\00:03:30.14 Jesus is coming again 00:03:30.17\00:03:36.08 Coming again, 00:03:41.68\00:03:46.99 Coming again 00:03:47.02\00:03:52.56 Jesus is coming again 00:03:52.59\00:03:58.43 Coming again, 00:04:03.64\00:04:09.11 Coming again 00:04:09.14\00:04:14.65 Jesus is coming again 00:04:14.68\00:04:20.49 Heavens of earth, tell 00:04:26.59\00:04:32.20 The vast, wondering throng 00:04:32.23\00:04:38.21 Jesus is coming again 00:04:38.24\00:04:44.35 Tempests and whirlwinds, 00:04:49.95\00:04:55.42 The anthem prolong 00:04:55.46\00:05:01.66 Jesus is coming again 00:05:01.70\00:05:07.94 Nations are angry 00:05:14.51\00:05:19.48 By this we do know 00:05:19.51\00:05:25.99 Jesus is coming again 00:05:26.02\00:05:32.13 Knowledge increases 00:05:38.23\00:05:43.37 Men run to and fro 00:05:43.41\00:05:49.88 Jesus is coming again 00:05:49.91\00:05:55.98 Coming again, 00:06:01.59\00:06:07.23 Coming again 00:06:07.26\00:06:12.93 Jesus is coming again 00:06:12.97\00:06:18.84 Coming again, 00:06:24.45\00:06:29.98 Coming again 00:06:30.02\00:06:35.69 Jesus is coming again 00:06:35.72\00:06:41.53 Coming again, 00:06:47.27\00:06:52.97 Coming again 00:06:53.01\00:06:58.71 Jesus is coming again 00:06:58.75\00:07:04.59 Coming again, 00:07:10.06\00:07:15.86 Coming again 00:07:15.90\00:07:21.60 Jesus is coming again 00:07:21.64\00:07:27.38 Jesus is coming again 00:07:33.05\00:07:38.95 Jesus is coming 00:07:45.99\00:07:50.37 Jesus is coming 00:07:50.40\00:07:54.80 again 00:07:54.84\00:07:59.01 Coming again 00:07:59.04\00:08:02.98 Coming again 00:08:03.01\00:08:07.22 Jesus is coming again 00:08:07.25\00:08:13.49 I was scripture reading for this evening, 00:08:25.07\00:08:28.57 it's Ephesians 2:1-9, 00:08:28.60\00:08:34.98 "And you He made alive, 00:08:35.01\00:08:37.05 who were dead in trespasses and sins 00:08:37.08\00:08:41.65 in which you once walked 00:08:41.68\00:08:43.15 according to the course of this world, 00:08:43.18\00:08:46.52 according to the prince of the power of the air, 00:08:46.55\00:08:50.53 the spirit who work in the sons of disobedience, 00:08:50.56\00:08:55.03 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves 00:08:55.06\00:08:58.83 in the lust of our flesh, 00:08:58.87\00:09:01.57 fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, 00:09:01.60\00:09:06.68 and were by nature the children of wrath, 00:09:06.71\00:09:09.74 just as others. 00:09:09.78\00:09:12.18 But God, who is rich and mercy, 00:09:12.21\00:09:15.05 because of His great love with which He loved us, 00:09:15.08\00:09:19.05 even when we were dead in trespasses 00:09:19.09\00:09:22.09 made us alive together with Christ, by grace, 00:09:22.12\00:09:25.69 you have been saved, 00:09:25.73\00:09:29.56 and raised us up together 00:09:29.60\00:09:32.03 and made us sit together 00:09:32.07\00:09:33.70 in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 00:09:33.74\00:09:38.44 that in the ages to come, 00:09:38.47\00:09:40.44 He might show his riches of his grace 00:09:40.48\00:09:43.08 in His kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. 00:09:43.11\00:09:47.78 For by grace you have been saved through faith, 00:09:47.82\00:09:51.19 and that none of yourself, 00:09:51.22\00:09:52.59 it is the gift of God, not of works, 00:09:52.62\00:09:56.29 lest anyone should boast." 00:09:56.32\00:09:59.19 Our topic for today is God's grace is sufficient. 00:09:59.23\00:10:05.13 Let us pray. 00:10:05.17\00:10:07.00 Our Heavenly Father, 00:10:07.04\00:10:09.17 we thank You for the opportunity 00:10:09.20\00:10:10.71 we have to worship and to praise Your name. 00:10:10.74\00:10:14.24 We thank You for the provision 00:10:14.28\00:10:16.11 You have made for our salvation. 00:10:16.14\00:10:18.75 And now as we come to share Your Word, 00:10:18.78\00:10:21.28 we invite Your Holy Spirit to be with us. 00:10:21.32\00:10:24.45 Reveal Your will to our lives and help us, Lord, 00:10:24.49\00:10:27.86 to order our lives according to Your Word. 00:10:27.89\00:10:31.63 Please bless each and every one of us 00:10:31.66\00:10:34.20 who worship in Jesus name, amen. 00:10:34.23\00:10:39.50 By nature, we are children of the flesh 00:10:39.53\00:10:44.91 and strangers of the covenant of promise. 00:10:44.94\00:10:48.34 The Bible says, 00:10:48.38\00:10:50.11 "The old law was brought forth in iniquity 00:10:50.15\00:10:53.45 and in sin my mother conceived me." 00:10:53.48\00:10:56.72 Psalms 5:15. 00:10:56.75\00:10:59.55 As sinners, we have no right to salvation. 00:10:59.59\00:11:05.19 We are without hope in the world. 00:11:05.23\00:11:09.63 But God in His mercy and through His grace 00:11:09.66\00:11:12.93 has offered us hope and salvation 00:11:12.97\00:11:15.84 through our Lord Jesus Christ. 00:11:15.87\00:11:20.01 Yes, we are children of the flesh. 00:11:20.04\00:11:25.71 God created a perfect world 00:11:25.75\00:11:27.38 and placed two perfect people in it, 00:11:27.42\00:11:29.85 to enjoy and to take care of it. 00:11:29.88\00:11:33.29 Genesis 1:31, says, "God saw everything He made, 00:11:33.32\00:11:38.19 and indeed it was very good." 00:11:38.23\00:11:42.60 God wanted the first couple Adam and Eve, 00:11:42.63\00:11:47.80 He warned them of the danger of eating of the fruit 00:11:47.84\00:11:51.47 from the tree of good and evil 00:11:51.51\00:11:53.17 which was in the midst of the garden, 00:11:53.21\00:11:56.21 where He had placed them. 00:11:56.24\00:11:58.58 Yes, the Lord said to them, 00:11:58.61\00:12:04.25 "Of every tree of the garden, you may freely eat, 00:12:04.29\00:12:08.29 but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, 00:12:08.32\00:12:10.69 you shall not eat. 00:12:10.73\00:12:12.26 For in the day that you eat of it, 00:12:12.29\00:12:15.66 you shall surely die." 00:12:15.70\00:12:18.83 Genesis 2:16-17. 00:12:18.87\00:12:22.34 Adam and Eve felt the temptation of the devil 00:12:22.37\00:12:25.27 and at the fruit of the tree 00:12:25.31\00:12:28.24 as a result of their disobedience, 00:12:28.28\00:12:31.45 Adam and Eve, the curse of sin and death 00:12:31.48\00:12:36.58 was passed on to all creation. 00:12:36.62\00:12:40.12 It was never God's plan to allow men to self-destruct. 00:12:40.16\00:12:44.96 God gave mankind a salvific antidote against sin 00:12:44.99\00:12:49.03 in the form of a promise, a redemption plan 00:12:49.06\00:12:52.17 was put in place to restore the human race back to God. 00:12:52.20\00:12:56.57 In her book, "The Great Controversy," 00:12:56.60\00:12:59.17 Ellen White wrote, 00:12:59.21\00:13:01.04 "Satan's enmity against the human race 00:13:01.08\00:13:04.75 is kindled because, through Christ, 00:13:04.78\00:13:07.98 they are the object of God's love and mercy. 00:13:08.02\00:13:12.75 It is the grace that Christ implants in the soul 00:13:12.79\00:13:17.79 which creates in men enmity against Satan. 00:13:17.83\00:13:23.06 Without this converting grace and renewing power, 00:13:23.10\00:13:27.34 men will continue the captive of the devil, 00:13:27.37\00:13:32.21 a servant ever ready to do his bidding. 00:13:32.24\00:13:36.01 But the new principle in the soul creates conflict, 00:13:36.04\00:13:40.65 where hitherto had been peace. 00:13:40.68\00:13:43.42 The power which Christ imparts enables man to rescue 00:13:43.45\00:13:47.92 or to resist the tyrant and usurper. 00:13:47.96\00:13:52.36 Whoever is seen to abhor sin instead of loving it, 00:13:52.39\00:13:57.47 whoever resists and conquers those passions 00:13:57.50\00:14:01.84 that have held sway within displays 00:14:01.87\00:14:04.67 the operation of a principle wholly from above." 00:14:04.71\00:14:10.61 As time progresses sin, proliferated the earth, 00:14:10.65\00:14:14.78 and the human race got deeper 00:14:14.82\00:14:16.52 and deeper in the clutch of the devil, 00:14:16.55\00:14:20.06 descendants of Noah drifted 00:14:20.09\00:14:22.62 their own way away from God. 00:14:22.66\00:14:26.43 The Tower of Babel was a symbol 00:14:26.46\00:14:29.66 of their rebellious Spirit. 00:14:29.70\00:14:32.73 God never leaves Himself without a witness, amen. 00:14:32.77\00:14:37.64 Abram was a witness to the goodness of God. 00:14:37.67\00:14:41.88 So God called him 00:14:41.91\00:14:43.24 and offered him a covenant of promise. 00:14:43.28\00:14:46.35 Genesis 12:1-3 clearly states that, 00:14:46.38\00:14:50.85 "Now the Lord had said to Abram, 00:14:50.89\00:14:53.02 get out of your country, 00:14:53.05\00:14:54.82 from your family and from your father's house, 00:14:54.86\00:14:57.49 to a land that I will show you, 00:14:57.53\00:15:00.03 I will make you a great nation. 00:15:00.06\00:15:03.06 I will bless you and make your name great, 00:15:03.10\00:15:06.53 and you shall be a blessing. 00:15:06.57\00:15:08.57 I will bless those who bless you, 00:15:08.60\00:15:11.87 and I will curse him who curse you. 00:15:11.91\00:15:14.64 And in all the families of the earth, in you, 00:15:14.68\00:15:19.11 all the families of the earth shall be blessed." 00:15:19.15\00:15:24.69 Abram's name was changed to Abraham. 00:15:24.72\00:15:29.09 Abraham became the father of the Jewish nation, 00:15:29.12\00:15:33.16 through whom the nation of the earth would be blessed. 00:15:33.19\00:15:37.70 The Jews were not without God. 00:15:37.73\00:15:40.27 For as Jesus stated in John 4:22, 00:15:40.30\00:15:44.17 salvation was of the Jews, 00:15:44.21\00:15:47.94 Abraham, the first Jew, saw the day of Christ afar off 00:15:47.98\00:15:53.18 and was glad. 00:15:53.21\00:15:54.55 John 8:56, 00:15:54.58\00:15:56.75 they drain in the wilderness of the rock, 00:15:56.79\00:16:00.66 which was Christ. 00:16:00.69\00:16:02.12 1 Corinthians 10:4. 00:16:02.16\00:16:04.36 The Gentiles had no knowledge of Christ. 00:16:04.39\00:16:07.13 They had no union with Him. They had no faith in Him. 00:16:07.16\00:16:11.10 They were therefore without pardon, grace, 00:16:11.13\00:16:14.90 hope, and comfort. 00:16:14.94\00:16:16.71 They had nothing threefold blessings of the gospel, 00:16:16.74\00:16:22.14 Christ for us, Christ in us, and Christ with us. 00:16:22.18\00:16:28.35 They were uncircumcised Gentiles in the flesh. 00:16:28.38\00:16:33.25 So to be circumcised meant that one was purified, 00:16:33.29\00:16:38.09 it meant that one received the seal of righteousness. 00:16:38.13\00:16:42.86 It meant that not only the outward flesh was clean 00:16:42.90\00:16:47.30 but also the heart was completely 00:16:47.34\00:16:50.41 consecrated to God. 00:16:50.44\00:16:52.04 It meant they were legitimate children of Israel. 00:16:52.07\00:16:56.75 The third characteristic of being an alien 00:16:56.78\00:16:59.61 from commonwealth of Israel, 00:16:59.65\00:17:02.32 the Gentiles were separated from Israel 00:17:02.35\00:17:06.05 civilly and spiritually 00:17:06.09\00:17:08.46 for the Jews had no dealing with the Gentiles. 00:17:08.49\00:17:11.93 The word alien points to a lapse 00:17:11.96\00:17:14.60 from a former unity or relationship. 00:17:14.63\00:17:18.50 The first dispensation of the human race was unify, 00:17:18.53\00:17:23.14 sin however brought a separation, 00:17:23.17\00:17:25.87 the worshipping of the true God against the worshipping 00:17:25.91\00:17:30.05 of the false God brought a great divide. 00:17:30.08\00:17:34.65 It is this wall that he came to break down. 00:17:34.68\00:17:39.85 The fourth characteristic, 00:17:39.89\00:17:41.89 they were strangers from the covenant of promise. 00:17:41.92\00:17:45.66 The covenant was established between God and Abraham, 00:17:45.69\00:17:48.90 and Abraham's descendents. 00:17:48.93\00:17:50.80 Through Abraham and his descendants, 00:17:50.83\00:17:53.34 the nations of the world 00:17:53.37\00:17:54.94 were to learn of the will of God. 00:17:54.97\00:17:58.57 Christ came to establish 00:17:58.61\00:18:00.08 a better covenant based on a better promise. 00:18:00.11\00:18:04.08 Hebrew 8:6 states, "But now he has obtain 00:18:04.11\00:18:09.75 a more excellent ministry, 00:18:09.78\00:18:12.85 inasmuch as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, 00:18:12.89\00:18:18.13 which was established on a better promise." 00:18:18.16\00:18:22.80 The fifth characteristic, they were without hope. 00:18:22.83\00:18:27.20 They had no hope. 00:18:27.24\00:18:28.67 No hope for Messiah and salvation, 00:18:28.70\00:18:31.27 through Him no hope of eternal life. 00:18:31.31\00:18:33.98 You see in 1 Corinthians 15:19, Paul writes, 00:18:34.01\00:18:38.21 "If in this life only we have hope, 00:18:38.25\00:18:41.85 we are of most men most miserable." 00:18:41.88\00:18:46.29 Without Christ, there is no hope. 00:18:46.32\00:18:48.42 A life of sin results in separation from God. 00:18:48.46\00:18:52.13 And separation from God results in separation 00:18:52.16\00:18:55.96 from His promise of eternal life, 00:18:56.00\00:18:58.63 which is in Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior. 00:18:58.67\00:19:02.20 Jesus said, "For God so loved the world, 00:19:02.24\00:19:05.67 He gave his only begotten Son, 00:19:05.71\00:19:08.01 that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, 00:19:08.04\00:19:11.51 but shall have everlasting life," 00:19:11.55\00:19:14.42 John 3:16. 00:19:14.45\00:19:16.85 The sixth characteristic, 00:19:16.89\00:19:18.42 they were without God in the world. 00:19:18.45\00:19:22.49 This marks the climax of their misery. 00:19:22.52\00:19:26.26 It is not that they were atheists 00:19:26.29\00:19:29.33 for they had many gods, 00:19:29.36\00:19:31.53 they had no knowledge of the true God. 00:19:31.57\00:19:34.17 They had no faith in Him. 00:19:34.20\00:19:36.17 They were living without relationship with Him. 00:19:36.20\00:19:39.37 They had no consciousness of His presence to bless, 00:19:39.41\00:19:43.65 guide, and to comfort them. 00:19:43.68\00:19:46.11 They were without God in this world. 00:19:46.15\00:19:51.59 I thank God for Ephesians 2:13, 00:19:51.62\00:19:56.16 for there, I find a hope, 00:19:56.19\00:20:00.70 "But now in Christ. 00:20:00.73\00:20:03.26 In Christ Jesus, you who once were far off 00:20:03.30\00:20:08.27 have been brought near by the blood of Christ." 00:20:08.30\00:20:12.87 But now... 00:20:16.18\00:20:18.15 But is a conjunction, such as yet, unless, 00:20:18.18\00:20:23.12 and nevertheless, notwithstanding. 00:20:23.15\00:20:26.79 You see, a conjunction seeks to join two sentences 00:20:26.82\00:20:30.59 or two concepts together. 00:20:30.63\00:20:32.89 It unites, it joins together. 00:20:32.93\00:20:35.96 On the one hand, the Gentiles were afar off. 00:20:36.00\00:20:41.97 Aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, 00:20:42.00\00:20:44.91 strangers of the covenant of promise, 00:20:44.94\00:20:47.48 without God and hope in the world. 00:20:47.51\00:20:51.18 They were nobodies. 00:20:51.21\00:20:53.31 They were not only acts to sit at the back of the bus, 00:20:53.35\00:20:58.05 they were outside of the bus. 00:20:58.09\00:21:01.36 They were excluded not by God's design 00:21:01.39\00:21:05.49 but by their own choice. 00:21:05.53\00:21:10.20 On the other hand, Christ extended His mercy. 00:21:10.23\00:21:14.34 He extended His grace, 00:21:14.37\00:21:16.91 He changed the scene completely 00:21:16.94\00:21:19.34 by offering Himself on Calvary, His cross. 00:21:19.37\00:21:23.28 His death was not only for the Jews 00:21:23.31\00:21:26.51 but also for the Gentiles. 00:21:26.55\00:21:30.09 His death was for all who have sinned, 00:21:30.12\00:21:33.46 for God loved the world, the entire world. 00:21:33.49\00:21:37.53 So whomever sinned, 00:21:37.56\00:21:38.89 the death of Jesus Christ would cover their sin. 00:21:38.93\00:21:44.27 Back then, 00:21:44.30\00:21:45.73 it was being circumcised in the flesh, 00:21:45.77\00:21:50.41 but now, it is the circumcision of the heart. 00:21:50.44\00:21:55.34 Back then, they were without Christ, 00:21:55.38\00:21:58.15 but now, Christ has offered himself to all. 00:21:58.18\00:22:02.22 He died for all. 00:22:02.25\00:22:04.05 Salvation is for all. 00:22:04.09\00:22:08.59 Back then they were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel 00:22:08.62\00:22:12.36 and strangers from the covenant of promise. 00:22:12.39\00:22:15.43 But now, they are fellow citizens 00:22:15.46\00:22:18.37 and adhere of the covenant of promise. 00:22:18.40\00:22:22.00 You see, back then they had no hope 00:22:22.04\00:22:25.21 and without God in the world, 00:22:25.24\00:22:27.28 but now their hope is in the Lord. 00:22:27.31\00:22:30.55 They have Christ in them, the hope of glory. 00:22:30.58\00:22:35.62 They have Christ for them, who can be against them. 00:22:35.65\00:22:41.22 They have Christ with them. 00:22:41.26\00:22:43.63 They will never have to walk alone. 00:22:43.66\00:22:47.43 Ephesians 2:1-10 notes 00:22:47.46\00:22:53.40 it is grace that has built 00:22:53.44\00:22:56.67 a bridge to bring us back to God. 00:22:56.71\00:23:00.48 It is grace that causes God to offer us eternal life. 00:23:00.51\00:23:04.98 It is grace that causes Christ to die 00:23:05.01\00:23:08.08 on the cruel cross for you and me. 00:23:08.12\00:23:10.89 It is grace that will lead us home to glory. 00:23:10.92\00:23:16.06 Marvelous grace of our loving Lord. 00:23:16.09\00:23:19.89 Grace that exceed our sin 00:23:19.93\00:23:21.86 and our guilt yonder on Calvary Mount of Paul, 00:23:21.90\00:23:26.60 where the blood of the Lamb was spilled. 00:23:26.63\00:23:31.61 Grace, Grace. 00:23:31.64\00:23:34.11 God's Grace. 00:23:34.14\00:23:35.78 Grace that was pardon and cleanse within. 00:23:35.81\00:23:39.58 Grace. Grace. 00:23:39.61\00:23:41.88 God's grace. 00:23:41.92\00:23:43.39 Grace that is greater than all our sin. 00:23:43.42\00:23:47.62 Ladies and gentlemen, 00:23:47.66\00:23:49.22 God's grace is sufficient for you and for me. 00:23:49.26\00:23:55.06 Sin has brought separation between God and man. 00:23:55.10\00:23:59.60 Christ did not leave us without a way of escape. 00:23:59.63\00:24:04.24 He provided the enmity against the devil, 00:24:04.27\00:24:08.98 that we would never be 00:24:09.01\00:24:11.18 totally engulfed by the evil one. 00:24:11.21\00:24:14.98 Christ gave the promise of the Messiah through Abraham, 00:24:15.02\00:24:20.02 his descendents starting or stating that 00:24:20.06\00:24:24.36 if we were accepted 00:24:24.39\00:24:26.36 if we accept his plan of salvation, 00:24:26.39\00:24:29.56 all the nations of the earth would be blessed. 00:24:29.60\00:24:34.70 Unfortunately, the people of Israel 00:24:34.74\00:24:37.34 for the most part either kept it 00:24:37.37\00:24:39.67 to themselves or did not accept it. 00:24:39.71\00:24:43.78 But Jesus has established a new covenant 00:24:43.81\00:24:48.78 pays upon a better promise. 00:24:48.82\00:24:51.15 It is through the grace of God 00:24:51.19\00:24:53.96 that all of us can have full access 00:24:53.99\00:24:57.43 to the throne room of God. 00:24:57.46\00:25:00.93 Jesus being our Mediator, 00:25:00.96\00:25:03.80 it is amazing how God's grace 00:25:03.83\00:25:07.50 can save wretched sinners like you and me. 00:25:07.54\00:25:13.24 Let us give our all to Jesus, 00:25:13.27\00:25:16.91 our Savior and our Lord. 00:25:16.95\00:25:21.18 God's grace is so amazing. 00:25:21.22\00:25:24.55 "Amazing grace," the song says, 00:25:24.59\00:25:27.89 "how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. 00:25:27.92\00:25:33.40 I once was lost, but now I'm found. 00:25:33.43\00:25:38.23 Was blind, but now I see." 00:25:38.27\00:25:43.30 Praise God for amazing grace. 00:25:43.34\00:25:46.94 The grace of God is sufficient 00:25:46.98\00:25:50.15 for you, and you, and me. 00:25:50.18\00:25:54.65 Amen. 00:25:54.68\00:25:57.59 Loving Lord, we thank You for Your grace, 00:25:57.62\00:26:01.89 we thank You for Your power to save, 00:26:01.92\00:26:06.46 we thank You, Lord, that Jesus came 00:26:06.49\00:26:09.90 and took our place so that we may have life 00:26:09.93\00:26:14.77 and we may have it more abundantly. 00:26:14.80\00:26:18.77 We give You our lives today, 00:26:18.81\00:26:21.54 we ask You, Lord, to take us just as we are, 00:26:21.58\00:26:25.58 make us what You would want us to be, 00:26:25.61\00:26:28.78 and when You shall come in your kingdom, 00:26:28.82\00:26:32.62 help us, Lord, to look up and say, 00:26:32.65\00:26:35.49 "Lo, this is my God." 00:26:35.52\00:26:38.69 We have waited for Him and He will save us. 00:26:38.73\00:26:44.57 Be with us now and help us, Lord, 00:26:44.60\00:26:47.70 to choose You as our Lord and our Savior. 00:26:47.74\00:26:52.41 This we pray in Jesus' name, amen. 00:26:52.44\00:26:58.18 Thanks for watching Pathway of Hope. 00:26:58.21\00:27:01.18 If you would like to be prayed for 00:27:01.22\00:27:03.55 or would like to learn more about 00:27:03.59\00:27:05.19 God's Word, please call 00:27:05.22\00:27:08.12 1 (877) 520-HOPE 00:27:08.16\00:27:12.99 or 1(877) 00:27:13.03\00:27:15.90 520 4673. 00:27:15.93\00:27:20.24 You may also watch more of our programs online at 00:27:20.27\00:27:24.34 www.PathwayOfHope.tv. 00:27:24.37\00:27:30.18 If you would like to make a tax-deductable love gift, 00:27:30.21\00:27:34.15 please send your gifts to Pathway of Hope 00:27:34.18\00:27:37.62 at P.O.
