Chosen for Grace (Rev Dr. Stephen Gapson)

In this rich, eye-opening teaching, Rev. Dr. Stephen unveils what it means to be “Chosen for Grace.” He exposes the error of religious thinking that paints God as moody and controlled by our performance. Instead, he shows from Scripture that because we are in Christ, God’s posture toward us is fixed: joy, love, and delight. Our security is not in our works but in the finished work of Jesus.

Using the parable of the laborers and the cross, he explains that Jesus, in the 3rd, 6th, and 9th hours, took all our “negatives”—sin, shame, curses, and poverty—so that we, the “11th-hour generation,” might freely receive His righteousness, blessing, and abundance: “What was right, God gave; what is right, we now boldly receive.”

You are chosen to walk in power, wisdom, honor, glory, and the blessings of Abraham—purely by grace through Christ. May this message root you in joyful assurance and a deeper worship of Jesus and His cross.
