Today's talk comes from Pastor Louis Giglio.

We're in this collection of talks called Grace and Glory.

These are big ideas in our church.

We have three theological anchors at Passion City,

the glory of God, radical grace, and extravagant worship.

And so grace and glory are not just words we picked out of thin air. They're important to the

theological underpinning of our house. And we talked last week about this idea that grace is defined

or could be defined as, do you remember, God at work. Now you can define grace a lot of ways, but this is

grace. It's God doing what you and I can't do. It's God doing what we never could do. And on our

best day, with all of our might, we couldn't do the things that God

has done through grace. And this primarily happens at the cross, the crucifixion of Jesus and

at the empty tomb. But it's not just a three-day event of grace. Grace is a thread through all of eternity and all of history, and I want you to see that

today.

So let's get ready together for a small seminary class today, and I might try to throw an

illustration in, but it's not going to be that kind of message, and you're not going to

be able to write all this down.

I just want you to be moved like I have

been by the threat of God being at work all the way through eternity. Grace was in effect before there was

time. That's the first thing I want you to see today. Before there was a world, grace was already moving

and in motion toward you and toward me for the glory of God.
