“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and
we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from
the Father, full of grace and truth.”
—JOHN 1:14 (NIV)

OVERVIEW

Real growth happens in our lives as we offer ourselves up to the unexplainable lavished grace of Jesus and the bold hard-to-admit truth …at the same time. Jesus was “full of grace and truth”: 100% grace, 100% truth. And the best thing for us as leaders, and for those we lead, is to strive – in the power of the Holy Spirit – to do the same.

OBJECTIVE

Begin to grasp the importance of “high grace/high truth” communities and a leader’s role in empowering it to take place.
