Grace Changes You

Mar 8, 2026    Joel Hastings

Grace is the greatest gift you've ever received — but receiving it was never meant to leave you the same. In Titus 2, Pastor Joel Hastings unpacks what it really means to live as someone who has been forgiven, freed, and transformed by the grace of God.


Pastor Joel walks through Paul's instructions to bondservants, workers, and everyday people — showing how the gospel is meant to be visible in the way we live and work. Drawing on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's contrast between "cheap grace" and "costly grace," he challenges us to stop treating grace as a free pass and start living as people who are zealous for good works, anchored in the blessed hope of Christ's return.


Here's a couple key takeaways

• Grace is a free gift — but it isn't cheap. It cost Jesus everything, and receiving it should change how you live, work, and treat the people around you.

• You can't clean yourself up. Just like a child smearing makeup off his face, our best efforts to fix ourselves only make things worse — we need Jesus to make us clean.

• We have a blessed hope. In a world full of chaos and uncertainty, Christians live with confident expectation that Jesus is coming back to make all things right.
