Grace
Never Move
Beyond The Gospel
Thesis:
Each man needs the
grace of God every
single day of his life,
but most men live as if
they don’t.
What Men Don’t Know
Men underestimate
the grace of God and
the sufficiency of
Scripture.
Luke 2:40
And the Child grew and
became strong in spirit,
filled with wisdom; and
the grace of God was
upon Him.
What Men Don’t Know
Men think the answer to
their “sophisticated”
problems is to try
Harder, think
Deeper and know more.
1st
Corinthians 1:4
I thank my God always
concerning you for
the grace of God
which was given to you
by Christ Jesus,
What Men Don’t Know
As a result, men
end up
frustrated,
overwhelmed and
defeated.

the wise, And bring to nothing
the understanding of the
prudent.”
