10 Things God Has Taught Me Since Joining Grace Community Church

        Below is a list of things God has taught me since he graciously brought our family to Grace Community Church in Waverly, Ohio.  I'm so thankful for the continued growth we have experienced in this local body of believers.  Christ is so faithful to draw us to himself and to teach us his truth through his holy Scriptures.


  • ·         From start to finish, Salvation is of—and directed by—the Lord

  • ·         My salvation is secure forever because it depends on Christ’s saving work on the cross, and not anything I have done or will do

  • ·         Those who continue trusting and loving Christ, present tense, will be saved in the end

  • ·         Before the world was made, God elected and predestined those who would become his people

  • ·         Christ’s death on the cross and subsequent resurrection  fully accomplished the work of saving all of his people

  • ·         As God’s people were commanded to obey his law perfectly, so all people today are required to obey God’s commands

  • ·         God’s sovereign hand rules over all events that take place, both good and evil, to accomplish his purposes for his glory

  • ·         Salvation is not a life-improvement plan but a resurrection: Christ-initiated Salvation results in the dead being brought to life

  • ·         Sinners, of their own volition, are unable and unwilling to come to Christ without a work being fully initiated by the triune God

  • ·         Believers are called to be a faithful and active part of, to submit to, and to enjoy a local biblical church body through committed membership
