In this message, Dr. Scott McKee invites us to consider the depth and wonder of God’s grace as revealed in Colossians 2:8–15. Paul’s vivid images—of baptismal union with Christ, canceled debts nailed to the cross, and defeated powers stripped of their weapons—reveal a grace that does more than forgive. It brings us from death to life, from outsider to beloved family, and from self‑reliance to surrender. Pastor Scott names the subtle drift that can pull believers away from grace and into legalism, self‑protection, or judgment, and he calls us back to the Cross as the place where humility and compassion are reborn. Through stories of spiritual awakening and the gentle work of the Spirit, he shows how grace shapes not only our identity but also our posture toward others, forming a people who stay near the Cross, receive grace through relationships, and extend grace to those still searching for home. This message calls us to live with the freedom, tenderness, and courage that only disarming grace can produce.
