CURRENT STUDY

The Grace Course is rooted in Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son—a powerful picture of grace that meets us in our deepest brokenness. The son who expected rejection discovers something astonishing: he is still a son. Still in right standing. Still with full access to his father’s inheritance. Still completely restored. It sounds too good to be true—but it is the truth of the gospel.

This 8-session study invites you to move beyond merely understanding grace with your head and into experiencing it deeply in your heart. Through teaching, discussion, and The Steps to Experiencing God’s Grace, the course helps identify and resolve the barriers that keep us from living freely in God’s love.

Join us on Tuesday evenings from 7-9pm in the Fireside Room at West Van Baptist Church!

Participants discover how grace frees them from:

• joyless religion

• a constant low-grade sense of guilt

• being defined by past failures

• feeling unable to say no

• believing they are “not enough”
  
  

The course also addresses the false motivators that so often drive our lives—guilt, shame, fear, performance, and pride—and reveals why “doing things for God” out of obligation has no lasting value. Instead, you’ll learn how to stand confidently, no matter your past, and live from your true identity as a beloved child of God.

Throughout the journey, you’ll explore:

• what true unity is and why it matters

• how to renew your mind so real transformation can take place

• how to live and serve from God-given authority

• how to embrace brokenness as a pathway to growth and fruitfulness
  
  

The Grace Course calls you to rest in God, discover the works He has already prepared for you, and joyfully do them out of love—not pressure, fear, or striving. It’s an invitation to make your life count and be truly changed.

The Grace Course is designed to help you experience God’s grace and freedom so deeply that you are forever changed—and equipped to carry the love and healing of Jesus into a broken world.
