    Jesus' baptism was more than a mere example that we should follow. It was a start of his ministry; his new life. Our baptism reflects Jesus'. We too are identified as God's own, filled with the Holy Spirit, and die to live a new life of mission and minist

     | 5,614 views

    This is based on Max Lucado’s Fearless campaign week 3. The fear of disappointing God, being unforgiven, God remembering your sins. We are fully and freely forgiven, adopted, and can silence the voice of condemnation.

    Fearless #3 The Fear of Disappointing God A discussion I’ve often heard, a question often asked is: what is the unforgivable sin? When is that we cross the line and can’t come back? Is there a time when God is finished with us and we are beyond saving? Why do people ask that? Because we are ...read more

    Prodigals still exist. These individuals rebel, stepping away from God’s blessings, indulging in reckless living and ruining their lives. But God runs to meet those who are at the point of total desperation and who are willing to repent and return home.
