But Jesus—who had every reason to insist on His position—chose the opposite path entirely.From Philippians 2:5–8, Pastor Chuck Swindoll unpacks one of the most majestic passages in Scripture: how Jesus, though existing in the very form of God, emptied Himself, took the form of a bond-servant, and humbled Himself to death on a cross.Let this portrait of Christ confront your own pride.

The Grace of God, Part 3

We live in a world of earning and deserving. Promotions come to those who perform. Favor goes to those with the right background. But grace—true grace—operates by a completely different economy. It seeks out the undeserving and pulls them to the table.From 2 Samuel 9, Pastor Chuck Swindoll tells the remarkable story of Mephibosheth, a crippled outcast brought to eat at King David’s table as one of his own sons. In this obscure Old Testament story lives the clearest picture of how God’s grace works.See yourself in Mephibosheth. Embrace the grace God extends to you freely, and enjoy the life available to those who sit at His table! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/82/29?v=20251111
