Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary People
Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary People
Event Date
September 10 - 11, 2021
Chad Bird will be with Swan Lake Evangelical Free Church, in Cottonwood, MN on Thursday through Saturday, Sept 9-11, talking about Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary People
In these evening sessions, Chad will speak about how following Jesus feels like limping after God, as Jacob did after his wrestling match with the Lord. We hobble our way through life, beset by weakness, warring with temptations, and facing our greatest enemy every day in the mirror.
Our discipleship is a messy business. But that’s okay. We follow a Lord who doesn’t select the sainted or pick the pious but calls sinners—sinners like Jacob. This study will immerse attendees into Jacob’s life and God’s work in the beauty and ugliness of his life to see how it mirrors Christ’s work in our own.
