Discover Grace Through Faith | So, Now What Do I Do?

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6-7

So, Now What Do I Do?

After so many years of doing all we were taught to do to please God and have a closer relationship with Him, we believers sometimes find ourselves feeling further away than when we started. We can become miserable in our Christian experience, seldom enjoy the joy of our salvation that we once knew.

When we finally learn that not only are we saved by grace through faith, but also live by grace through faith, we sometimes feel a little disoriented. If being a Christian isn't about doing "the list", then what do we do now?

Are you ready to learn what it means to walk by grace through faith?

The teaching notes for this series are located below the videos.

Lesson One: Reorientation

Never wanting to do anything short of pleasing God, David came to a point where he felt worthless to the kingdom of God. He still loved Jesus with all of his heart, but he was weary of being a Christian.

When he finally realized that he had taken a wrong turn in his beliefs about his relationship with God, he wondered what to do next. this teaching is an overview of the topics that will be discussed afterward along with His personal testimony.

Lesson Two: Take Another Look at the Gospel

Many Christians today see the gospel as something preached to the lost. It’s the good news that God gave His Son to save us from our sins and give us eternal life. The idea of preaching the gospel to the saved is foreign to most people.

But the gospel is not a "bait and switch" scam in which people are offered eternal life but then find out that living the Christian life is drugery. No! The gospel is for all, especially for those who believe in Him. Take a closer look.

Lesson Three: Identifying Mixture

"Mixture" in its most basic form is mixing law with grace. This can take on many forms. A believer who is just now waking to grace is often unaware of the extent to which law, just like leaven, has worked its way into every aspect of our his/her life.

In this teaching we discuss how to identify mixture so that we can avoid falling into it again.

Lesson Four: Spiritual Disciplines

It is widely-held that all believers should be involved in "spiritual disciplines" so that they may grow closer to God and become righteous before Him.

The length of the list of them often depends on where someone attends church and even on how many Christian to-do books one has read. In some more cult-like congregations, doing or not doing spiritual disciplines is considered a measuring rod for spirituality and sincerity.

In this teaching the concept of spiritual disciplines as a means to righteousness and closeness to God is challenged based on the finished work of the cross.

Lesson Five: What Does God Want from Me?

If “spiritual disciplines” are not what God is requiring from us, then just what is it that He wants? Come and find rest as you discover here that His yoke really is easy and His burden is truly light.

Lesson Six: Finding Fellowship

At first many of those waking to grace realize they took a wrong turn in their walk with Jesus. Soon, they realize that one of the reasons they fell from grace was because they were taught incorrectly, usually by teachers and pastors they love and respect.

After sharing what God is showing them, they are often showed the door. This can leave an individual without fellowship and even shunned by fellow believers. Finding a new church is difficult because so many churches are also preaching another gospel.

We hope this teaching will help you to find fellowship with those who are also awakening to grace.

Lesson Seven: The Chopping Block

When we realize that we have misunderstood something so fundamental as the gospel, it is logical to wonder what else we might have missed. understood something so basic as the gospel, what else might we be believing that is not true. This teaching will encourage you to courageously place every belief and practice on God’s chopping block.

Lesson Eight: No Turning Back

As unbelievable as it seems, there are a few believers who have awakened to grace who end up going back to their old way of thinking due to fear of persecution or lack of financial gain.

In this lesson, we expose the pitfalls and encourage you to keep believing in the gospel of God’s amazing grace.

Lesson Nine: Grace Superabounding in Your Life

As we begin to learn again of God’s deep love for us we begin to find joy again and peace. However, many of our relationships have sometimes been sullied by law replacing grace and we are left facing the devastation that legalism, formula, and religious expectations have caused. How do we reach those we love with this gospel of God’s grace? The answer is simple and found in this lesson.
