Episode 343: Means of Grace

Author: Travelers Rest United Methodist Church March 15, 2026 Duration: 55:45
Fourth Sunday of Lent Sermon Series: 40 Days of Growth  Sermon: Means of GraceScripture: 2 Peter 3:18; Romans 12:2Lent continues—not just in the wilderness around us, but in the quieter work God is doing within us.Grow into the people God calls us to be. But real growth rarely happens all at once. More often, it happens slowly—in the small, steady rhythms of everyday life.So we might ask ourselves:Where do I actually make space for God in my week?What habits are shaping my heart right now?Am I being formed more by the noise of the world… or by the grace of God?In this week’s message from our 40 Days of Growth series, “Means of Grace,” we’ll reflect on the simple practices that help shape our faith—prayer, worship, scripture, and community—and how God meets us there, again and again.Because sometimes growth doesn’t come from one big moment. Sometimes it comes from the quiet ways we keep showing up.Worship Schedule 8:45am: Contemporary Service10am: Sunday School11am: Traditional Service
