SERMON | Faithful Church | Pt. 4 'Amazing Grace' | 1 Timothy 1:12-20

This sermon from 1 Timothy 1:12-20 focuses on the amazing grace of God that saves even the worst of sinners, illustrated through the life of John Newton, author of Amazing Grace, and the apostle Paul. Newton, once a rebellious and cruel slave trader, was transformed by God’s grace, just as Paul—once a fierce persecutor of Christians—was radically changed when he encountered Jesus. Paul, in his letter to Timothy, calls himself the foremost of sinners, yet he received mercy so that God’s perfect patience could be displayed as an example for all. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus came into the world to save sinners, and His grace overflows like Niagara Falls—never running dry, always offering more. No one is beyond redemption, and the same grace that saved Paul and Newton is available to all who trust in Christ.
