Uncomfortable Grace - Pastor Cora Jakes

Before grace pours, it pierces. In this transformative sermon, Pastor Cora Jakes invites us to
consider that grace isn’t always gentle. Sometimes it refines, reveals, and even strips us bare
before it restores.

From the wounds of Christ to the rise of Esther, grace proves to be a divine tension that often
stretches and sanctifies. In your piercing season, God has not forsaken you. He is preparing you
for the new grace that you’re getting ready to walk into.

The same grace that saves you also commissions you. Just like blood and water flowed from
Christ on the cross in John 19, what flows from your pain has the power to impact generations.
Surrender to the refining because there is glory in discomfort.
