What does the message of grace and righteousness have to say about how we interact with the world around us?

Pastor Justin looks at a message from Dec. 30, 2018 about Bringing Your Best to God. This one takes an interesting turn.

Sometimes it feels like living the Christian life is like trying to catch a carrot on a stick. There's always one more issue to address, one more thing to do, one more sin to overcome- all in a pursuit of what God wants. But what if the reality is that the carrot is already in your hand and it's there because God has freely given it to you in Jesus? How would it change the way you live if you realized all that God has done for you is already true and in your grasp right now?

Guest speaker Rick Reams shares a message on REST.

Acts chapter 9 contains the story of a man who when from supreme law keeper to the foremost freedom fighter.

1. Receive the Lord joyfully. 2. Don't listen to the grumblers. 3. Sorry for the sound interference. We had issues with the mic.

New garments and new wine, don't fit in the old. In fact when we try to make the two work together, it ruins everything...

The good news is simple. Trusting Jesus to be enough when it goes against what you previously understood can be difficult. But choosing only Jesus is the only way to experience the freedom He promised.

Reading the first couple verses of Hebrews 12 makes many want to get on the treadmill and start running...but what if it actually points to the ability to rest?

In 2 Corinthians 5 Paul gives two realities for those who have been born again with a new nature: 1) As new creations, we now get to relate to ONE ANOTHER based on the nature of Christ within us (This is great news for the church!) 2) As new creations, we get to relate to THE WORLD based on the nature of Christ within us.

If we live in the Spirit let us also walk by the Spirit. It's the most natural thing for people born of the Spirit to live consistently with their newness. It's like saying "Since you are a human why don't you walk on two feet?"

Parenting is difficult. Things change in our relationship with our children as they grow. Mary the Mother of Jesus found that she was no exception. May we find some comfort and encouragement in this.
