The Church: Grace is the Soil

There are many models by which God's people organize and structure themselves to accomplish what Jesus began to do and teach, Acts 1:1.

I believe that teaching on the old covenant vs. the new covenant is vital to establishing the atmosphere for the new life in Jesus and God life environment that believers are called into.

The supernatural power of God is only healthy when it operates in holiness that flows from grace. Grace is the true Foundation of the supernatural life and work of God! Jesus came to fulfill the law and the prophets and it is through His life, death and resurrection that we have His life and that we can continue to do the things Jesus began to do and teach.

Doing the works that Jesus began to do and teach is important, but we must do them out of a life that is changed and that has the imprint of His character and humility. God's power can not be handled by a person without that person having a large measure of His grace and mercy which has been worked out deep within them.

Perfect power in the life of a not so perfect person will corrupt or brake that person unless they continuously humble themselves and make room for His grace and mercy to operate and make it possible for God's great power to work in and through them to bring life and not death.
