Amazing Grace! Acts 4.

10-12
Ephesians 2.8-10

“Rock-Solid” faith

It is built on understanding our purpose – to bring and

declare glory.

It is built on understanding our position – saved by

grace. Jesus Christ … is the stone
which was rejected by you builders,
which has become the chief cornerstone.
Why is grace so amazing?
