Two new words open our eyes to the impact of grace on the church: sugchairo (from syn-chairo) is synchronistic grace. In this episode we discuss this new grace word, which we backpedal to cover some amazing verses in Luke. In addition, the word eucharisteo shows us the corporate application of thanksgiving.

this Week’s challenge

As you pray for your meals, consciously employ the charisma machine to send up grace to god as you acknowledge the gifts of god: “still waters, green pastures, and preparing a table before you in the presence of your enemies”
