Embracing Grace: Living Right Without the Law

In this episode of the “Chilling with God” series, Pastor Al contrasts religious striving with the new covenant of grace, teaching that believers are not under the law (including the Ten Commandments) but are dead to it through Christ. He explains that the law is holy and still exists, yet its purpose is to act as a tutor to lead people to Christ. He shares that seeking trying to keep the law makes Christ ineffective, while grace leads to fruitfulness and Spirit-led living. He addresses the consequences of disobedience under the Old Covenant vs. the New Covenant.

Living by Grace with Al Jennings
Teaching the Word of His grace. Receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will cause you to reign in life.
Matthew 11:28–30 (The Message)
28 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. 29 Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. 30 Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
