This week's journey
Grace isn't just a moment. It's not just the finding. It's the pursuit before you knew you were being pursued. It's the nail-scarred hands that wiped away what you'd been dragging. It's the scandal of a cross that made the whole thing possible. It's the story you can't stop telling once it happens to you. And it's the grace that keeps going every single morning after.
Memory Verse: Ephesians 2:8 (NIV)"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."
The Arc: From the wandering — to the ongoing.
This week's Five:
POSITION 1 — THE WANDERING
Back To My Love | Leslie Perez
Every arc has to start somewhere honest. And the honest starting place for FOUND BY GRACE isn't a prayer or a decision — it's someone who is out there. Gone. Further than they meant to go. Leslie Perez sings this one from God's perspective, and that's exactly what makes it the right door into this journey. "I know you walked away, going back to what you knew." He sees the wandering. He knows what's underneath it. And He's not waiting at the door — He's coming out to meet you. That pursuit is where FOUND BY GRACE begins.

POSITION 2 — THE FINDING
I See Grace | Micah Tyler
This is the moment grace arrives — not as a concept but as an encounter. Micah Tyler captures what it feels like when nail-scarred hands reach in and wipe away everything you've been dragging. The shame. The regret. The failures you'd replayed so many times they started to feel like identity. "When I was a prodigal, You saw a son." That line is the entire finding in one sentence. The wanderer doesn't come back to a disappointed parent. They come back to someone who already saw them differently than they saw themselves.

POSITION 3 — THE COST
Scandal of Grace | Hillsong United
Grace isn't free — and this arc doesn't pretend it is. Hillsong United lands the weight of what finding you actually cost. Accused in the absence of wrong. Murdered for me on that cross. "The scandal of grace — You died in my place, so my soul will live." Position 3 is where the joy of being found meets the gravity of what it required. You can't receive this and stay shallow. The cross is the center of FOUND BY GRACE — and this song makes sure nobody moves past it too fast.

POSITION 4 — THE WITNESS
My Jesus | Anne Wilson
The found person becomes the teller. That's the move Position 4 makes — and Anne Wilson makes it with everything she has. "Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus." Not a polished testimony. Not a three-point message. Just someone who got found by a grace they didn't deserve and can't stop talking about the One who found them. "His love is strong and His grace is free — and the good news is I know that He can do for you what He's done for me." That's the witness. That's what FOUND BY GRACE produces.

POSITION 5 — THE ONGOING
Keep On | Elevation Worship
Grace didn't stop at the finding. That's the thing nobody tells you. You thought it was an event — one moment, one encounter, and then the rest of your life. But you wake up the next morning and it's still going. "Grace and mercy, they just keep on going." Every debt canceled. Every sin covered. Every fight He already handled. Elevation Worship closes this arc with the most important truth in the whole journey — not just that grace found you, but that it hasn't stopped finding you since. And it never will.
