Enjoy this message from Pastor Tyler Schoenberger called "Monopoly: Grace Edition" on Sunday, August 24, 2025 at Reach Church in Bear, Delaware!

Monopoly Grace Edition challenges our limited understanding of God's grace, revealing it as far more than just forgiveness for our sins. Grace fundamentally transforms our identity—through Christ, we have died to sin and are alive to God. This new identity means we are no longer slaves to sin; it no longer defines who we are.A common concern is that emphasizing grace might encourage sinful behavior. However, Romans 6 directly addresses this misconception. The issue isn't too much grace but not fully understanding what grace does to us. Titus 2:11-12 reveals that grace not only brings salvation but actually trains us to renounce ungodliness and live godly lives.

Paradoxically, when we try to 'balance' grace with law and human effort, we end up sinning more, not less.

The real breakthrough in our spiritual lives comes when we reach the end of our own efforts—when we admit nothing we do helps and we're at the end of our rope. That's where Jesus meets us with transformative grace. God doesn't celebrate the spiritual elite who seem to have it all together; He celebrates those humble enough to embrace their need for grace. Grace isn't just one card in the deck—it has a monopoly over every aspect of our lives.
