GGS is committed to providing a Grace-oriented education second to none. If you believe that Jesus is a full picture of who the Triune God is, then youre in the right place!
“The phrase ‘pre-cross’ is sometimes used as a theological escape hatch. If Jesus says something demanding, unsettling, or hard to reconcile with a favored doctrinal scheme, the saying is sometimes reduced to a preliminary stage of revelation, as though it belongs to an earlier, less mature phase of God’s plan.

“But that move is too easy. It assumes the gospels preserve a merely earlier version of Christianity, when in fact they were written by the Church’s mature, post-resurrection memory of Jesus. The evangelists are not presenting a Jesus whose words must be filtered through Paul to be understandable; they are presenting the same Lord whose life, death, and resurrection Paul and the Church already confessed.

“So ‘pre-cross’ cannot mean theologically irrelevant, pre-grace, or not for the Church.”

“The danger, of course, is that we tent-dwellers start building fortresses inside the tent. Once a particular accent on grace becomes our badge of belonging, the body of Christ’s conversation about grace fragments into mutually suspicious camps…. A grace teacher, in the healthiest sense, is someone who can recognize family resemblance across these different dialects without demanding uniformity of vocabulary or emphasis. That teacher can critique excesses and blind spots, but does so from within a posture of solidarity, not superiority.”

Welcome Dan Payne!
If the message emphasized what you need to do rather than what #Christ has done, then you heard the #law, not #Grace.
Wherever we find rest, we know that Love has preceded it.
