1. Through the often abominable and lamentable and occasional commendable season, there is one who remains unmoved by it all.
  2. You and I have a God who pardons all our wrongdoing by taking all of them onto himself. He doesn’t zap us into oblivion at the first sign of rebellion.
  3. God’s plans and purposes for this world aren’t dependent upon us. They’re dependent upon him. This means our faith is liberated.
  4. There is not a soul who crosses the threshold of the sanctuary who is excluded from the message of the gospel of forgiveness.
  5. Ever since the tragedy of the Garden, God’s plan of redemption has been in motion. His movement upon this world has never ceased, and it never will.
  6. By every conceivable category, grace shouldn't exist. It shouldn't have been bestowed. It's the card in God's trick we never saw coming.
