Grace AND Truth: Why Jesus Refuses Our False Choices

United Church Podcast

About

Many people believe following Jesus means choosing between grace and truth—between compassion and conviction.


But Jesus never made that choice.


In “Grace AND Truth: Why Jesus Refuses Our False Choices,” Pastor Léonce Crump Jr. explores how grace and truth are not opposites, but inseparable expressions of the character of God.


Drawing from John 1:14 and John 8:1–11, this message shows how Jesus holds truth firmly without cruelty and extends grace generously without compromise.


This sermon invites us into a deeper discipleship—one that refuses both harshness and avoidance, and instead learns to love the way Jesus loves.


Purple Church is a teaching series from United Church about living faithfully in a divided world—not by choosing sides, but by choosing Christ first.


Scriptures: John 1:14; John 8:1–11
