2 The Heart That Receives

In this message, Pastor John Carter defines grace as God's enabling power to be, do, and have what we couldn't otherwise, and warns against creating a "caste system" in the church that favors celebrity or wealth. He addresses cultivating a teachable spirit — receiving correction from a pastor, spouse, coworker, or even an unsaved person without becoming defensive — and touches on the corrupting influence of pride tracing back to Genesis and the Nephilim as a warning against spiritual arrogance.
