A blog designed to help folks come alive to the wonder, beauty, and transforming power of God's grace in the crucified, risen, and reigning Jesus.

The message of the Bible turns the tables on what we think of religion. Religion says that I am blessed, forgiven and accepted by God based on my obedience and sacrifice. But the Bible teaches that I am blessed, forgiven and accepted not by my obedience and sacrifice, but because of the obedience and sacrifice of someone else who obeys and sacrifices himself in my place.

In this 8-lesson eBook with discussion guide, discover the practical implications of the radical grace that is the gospel.

How do faith, grace, and works relate to one another? Getting this straight is not just a matter of theological importance, but of practical importance; not just for becoming a Christian, but for living as a Christian.

If I am saved by grace alone, then what role do works play in the Christian life? If they don’t save, secure, or sustain me, why should I be at all concerned about whether there is any practical change in my life as a disciple of Jesus?

Good questions! 🙂

Birthed from a combination of deep theological reflection and twenty-six years of pastoral experience as an assistant pastor, lead pastor, and church planter who served in cities, suburbs, a farming community, and a small college town, I am Not the Christ is full of practical application that aims to give pastors renewed joy in their calling as ambassadors of grace by helping them tether all of life and ministry to the cross of the risen and reigning Jesus.

There are many books on prayer and many books centering on Bible study.

My desire in this effort was to join the two: the Bible and prayer. Therefore, you'll notice that each prayer is also a theological and practical reflection on a particular passage of Scripture. My goal was to let the Bible inform my conversations with God, turning prayer into a dialogue that centers on my need to live completely in dependence upon the grace of God—in view of the cross.

Hundreds of free articles, devotions, and posts to help you come alive to the wonder, beauty, and transforming power of God's grace in the crucified, risen, and reigning Jesus. Because even a little grace makes a big difference.

I'm excited for churches, small groups, families, and individual believers to get access to this new resource published by New Growth Press as Serge's latest addition to their Gospel-Centered Life in the Bible series.
