Leaning on Jesus: A Study of God's Strength
For strength when we feel inadequate, anxious, or afraid, we lean on Jesus. Learn to relinquish control and let go of our culture's notion that you can handle it all. This study will guide you back to God's Word where He reveals that Jesus is the only One worthy. Lean on Him.
Extravagant Grace Ministry with Deb Burma
What Is Extravagant Grace?
With infectious warmth and wit, Deb writes as she speaks: with authenticity and passion. Faithful to God‘s Word, she relates Scripture to everyday life. Deb will encourage you personally as she speaks truth to you:
- Truth about God’s extravagant grace in Christ – a grace that you can savor. (Grace? Savor? Deb defines them both below…)
- Truth about all that flows out of His grace: identity, value, and purpose…and every sweet gift that comes from His Hand: faith, love, joy, peace…
- Truth (and help and hope!) when you’re facing temptation or tough times; when you’re seeking satisfaction or sweet surrender.
Whether it’s a mountaintop moment or a rich chocolate dessert – when you savor something, you delight in it, right? You treasure it, enjoying it to the fullest. You may even hope it will never end! So what can you savor when your latest moments are more “valley” than “mountain”? When the “desserts” on your daily menu seem to be spelled backwards? (Give it a try: s-t-r-e-s-s-e-d.) You’ve tasted a few, haven’t you?
Okay, maybe lately, life’s been light and sweet…but maybe it’s been dark and bitter. It’s likely been a little of both, depending on the day. So what can you and I savor in the sweet and not-so-savory moments? On the mountains and in the valleys? We can savor something that doesn’t depend on the day: God’s sweet grace! “That’s great,” you say… “but what is GRACE?” Grace is God’s favor and forgiveness in Jesus – undeserved and unearned – but given to you and me in lavish supply because that’s how much He loves us! It means that whatever the view or the flavor of our days – no matter where we’ve been or what we’ve done – we have God’s grace. God’s sweet, extravagant grace:
“In [Jesus] we have … the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us.” ~ Ephesians 1:7-8
It’s by His grace that He saves us from our sin, sustains us each day, and satisfies our every need, through faith in Jesus. And God doesn’t just dabble in grace; He lavishes it on us richly! God loves beyond reason and gives beyond anything deserved or justifiable. (Yep, I’ve just defined, “extravagant” for you…and God’s grace too!) Extravagant is the measure of that which we savor.
So what does God have to say to us on those mountains AND in those valleys? About the stressed days AND the desserts? In the sweet moments AND in the bitter ones? Through my ministry, Extravagant Grace, I speak to these and more, encouraging you to examine every part of your lives in the light of God’s grace.
