What is the real difference between God’s mercy and His grace? In this Sunday School lesson, Pastor Adam Parker unpacks how mercy withholds the judgment we rightly deserve, while grace lavishes us with unmerited favor, adoption, and life in Christ. Exploring passages across Ephesians, Lamentations, and Titus, the class examines why resting in sovereign grace often cuts against our instinct for self-reliance. Listen in to consider how receiving God’s forgiveness vertically frees and equips us to extend that same grace horizontally to others.
