Grace Never Runs Out
Preacher: The Rev. Logan Hurst
Scripture: John 1:1-18
God pours out grace upon grace through Christ, meeting us not with scarcity or judgment, but with mercy layered over mercy, even when we least expect it.
We often live as though grace is rationed – like divine favor is doled out by the teaspoon, and we’ve already used up our share. But John’s gospel says otherwise. Grace doesn’t come from scarcity but from fullness. Not just one act of mercy, but grace stacked upon grace. Overflowing. Unexhausted. Always arriving before we knew to ask.
And this grace is not abstract. It takes on flesh. It walks with us, weeps with us, eats with us, and makes the unclean whole. It meets us where we least expect it – right in the middle of our excuses, our exhaustion, and our fears that we’ve messed up one too many times.
To live as though grace is real means learning to receive what we cannot earn – and to extend what we would rather withhold. It means trusting that God’s generosity won’t run dry, even when ours feels like it already has.

What does it mean to you that grace is not a concession, but the overflow of who God is?
How does your understanding of Jesus shift when you reflect on grace as something personal, embodied, and near?
