Grace first !

Grace is never far from my thoughts - it's something I need more of, I ask God to work into me, to give me a double portion of my grandfather's spirit (like Elijah/Elisha). As I look around there are a few pastors who stand out for me when it comes to grace. My senior pastor is pretty near the top. He exudes grace. In fact the tougher the challenge, the more he exudes it.
I had the opportunity to visit another church last weekend. The pastor, Brendan Witton, was spelling what they were about too - their DNA and he said they had to be grace-based.
In the gospels Jesus is full of grace and truth. Obviously we need both perhaps it is no accident that grace proceeds truth when Jesus is described in John 1
