     | 248 views

    Our justification, our salvation is not a performance-based salvation. We are saved by faith.

    We all agree that God is perfectly holy. We know that we are sinners, and we are unclean and not worthy to stand before Holy God. We know all have sinned and are separated from God, but how do we become righteous? The word for righteous used here in Romans chapter 4 is justified. It means to ...read more

     | 935 views

    God's Word teaches that through what Jesus did for us on the cross, He will not give us what we deserve – that’s mercy. In addition, God is willing to give us exactly what we don’t deserve – that is called grace.

     | 446 views

    Have you ever tried to prove yourself—only to realize the gift was already yours? In Galatians 3, Paul reminds us that we don’t need to earn God’s love—we’re already clothed in Christ.

    I remember the first suit I ever bought for myself. It was 1988, and I was working at Men’s Wearhouse—so I had access to the good stuff, not Hart, Shafner, and Marx, but high quality suits.

     | 1,271 views

    People tend to think about faith as a private matter. James would argue otherwise for a visible faith.

    As we’ve been studying the book of James - we have observed how he calls us to have a “spiritual wholeness” - a faith that runs throughout all that we are. A faith that is revealed in our character, exhibited in conflicts, and heard in our conversations. He calls us to… persevere amidst trials, ...read more
