SPEECH DRAFT

“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me….”

Amazing Grace. A hymn that was written long- time ago but still the hearts of the
modern people. A hymn written by a wretched man, like me and you, “who once was lost but
now found”

First Major Idea

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. The first line of the
hymn talks about life. A life that was saved by the Grace of God.

Second Major Points

I once was lost but now am found. When you look back on your life, where were you
when the Lord found you

Supporting Materials

a) (Talk about my life experience)

b) (Connect it to the storm passage in the gospel)

Conclusion

Grace is not something we can touch, taste, or smell. But we know it is there when we
believe. It is sort of a mystery to us, and while we may not fully understand how exactly grace
works; or we may not be able to give a good theological definition... we should simply
understand that grace is meant to save us. God gives us grace as a favor, as a gift, so that we can
be saved. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound.
