The Catapulting Nature of Grace
Guest preacher Jady Griffin’s sermon centers around the powerful, transformative nature of God’s grace, comparing it to a “jolt” that wakes us up and changes our lives forever — much like the apostle Paul’s message in Ephesians 2:4 (“But God, being rich in mercy…”). He uses a personal story (like being punched by a massive football player) to highlight how unforgettable real jolts are, tying that to the spiritual “jolt” of grace that catapults us out of sin, not just covers it. Griffin powerfully illustrates this through the story of Rahab, the prostitute in Joshua 2, who becomes a symbol of redemption — not only saved, but placed in the lineage of Jesus, showing that no past disqualifies you from God's purpose when you have a “but God” moment.
