NDI - Journey of Grace Part 3 discussion - Barber, Moore, Rainey

The Church of the Nazarene believes that there is a calling upon every Christian to a deeper and maturing relationship with God. That calling, empowered by grace, bonds the believer in heart, mind, and mission with God. And this loving work of God, joined in obedience, forms each Christian into a growing likeness of Christ. This is the work of God’s sanctifying grace. So, how does God do this gracious work in the life of a fully consecrated believer? How does a Christian experience God’s sanctifying grace? And how does an entirely sanctified believer engage others along their own journey of grace? Join Frank Moore, Scott Rainey, and Sam Barber as they discuss God’s sanctifying grace.
 
This recording was created by Nazarene Discipleship International in collaboration with Holiness Today to discuss the journey of grace of the believer.
