Transforming Lives Bible Radio ShowHost: Bishop Dr. Virginia Singleton (Dr. V)Air Date: Tuesday, June 3, 2025Time: 8:00 PM ESTBroadcast Platform: Positive Power XXI Christian Media | Jerry Royce Live WorldwideEpisode Title: "God's Amazing Grace"Overview:In this spirit-filled episode, Bishop Dr. Virginia Singleton, Senior Pastor of the Divine Church of Deliverance in Florence, South Carolina, leads an in-depth teaching and reflection on the power, purpose, and presence of God's excellent Grace. Drawing on foundational scripture from 1 Corinthians 15:10 and John 1:17, Dr. V guides listeners through the theological, spiritual, and personal implications of living a life entirely dependent on Grace.Scripture Focus:1 Corinthians 15:10 (KJV)"But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain..."John 1:17 (KJV)"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."Key Teaching Points:What is Grace?Grace is God's unmerited favor — not earned by works but freely given.It is the foundation of salvation, sanctification, justification, and reconciliation through Jesus Christ.Grace in Paul's Life (1 Corinthians 15:10):Paul emphasizes that all he accomplished was through God's Grace — not self-effort.Grace empowered him to labor and persevere beyond human strength.Grace vs. The Law (John 1:17):The Law reveals sin; Grace delivers from it.Jesus fulfilled what the Law could not: the offering of redemptive Grace.Three Dimensions of Grace:Saving Grace: Ephesians 2:8 – We are saved by grace through faith.Sustaining Grace: 2 Corinthians 12:9 – God's strength is made perfect in our weakness.Special/Spiritual Grace: Ephesians 4:7, 11–12 – Grace is distributed as a spiritual gift for the edification of the body of Christ.Gifts by Grace (1 Corinthians 12:8–10):Every spiritual gift is distributed by the Holy Spirit.Gifts such as wisdom, healing, prophecy, and discernment are evidence of God's Grace, not man's merit.Warning Against Abusing Grace (Hebrews 10:29):Rejecting Christ or returning to sinful ways after accepting salvation dishonors the Spirit of Grace.True transformation involves repentance and humility.God Gives More Grace (James 4:6):Despite failures or rebellion, God extends more Grace to the humble.Pride is resisted, but humility attracts divine favor.Ultimate Expression of Grace (John 3:16–17):Jesus is the apex of God's amazing Grace — sent not to condemn but to save.His sacrifice on the cross is the ultimate gift of Grace.Memorable Quotes:"It was Grace who was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. It was Grace who was nailed to the cross. It was Grace that rose again — and that Grace is Jesus Christ." – Dr. V."You can't earn it, you can't buy it — grace is a gift that only God can give.""We all came through by the skin of our teeth, only because of God's amazing grace."Call to Action:Reflect: Are you living in the fullness of God's excellent Grace or trying to earn His approval through your own strength?Respond: If you've wandered or rejected God's gift, know that Grace is still extended — come back and be restored.Recommit: Spend time in prayer, study the Word, and let Grace guide your walk with Christ.Special Thanks:Host: Jerry Royce Live & Positive Power XXI MediaSupporters: The Divine Church of Deliverance family, loyal listeners worldwide, and Dr. V's husband for his steadfast support.Stay Connected:📍 Location: Divine Church of Deliverance 450 Lawson Street, Florence, SC📻 Catch the Replay: Available on demand via Positive Power XXI Christian Media Network.📅 Next Episode: Join us next Tuesday at 8 PM EST for another life-changing message.🙌 Closing Encouragement: Accept the gift of God's excellent Grace today.
