Grace is a central truth of the Christian faith and one of the greatest gifts of Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. Only Christianity makes God’s love unconditional because of God’s grace to us. As we celebrate Christ’s resurrection, we will realize and understand more of this incredible gift.

This final sermon in the series on Colossians examines the life of John Mark, a young man who failed and paid a dear price for it, yet who not only recovered from his failure but was used mightily by God the rest of his life.

Ashwin Ramani The “wilderness” is a common spiritual metaphor for a period of refinement in our life. It is a time of testing and trial that serves as a preparation time for the next season of life that is about to unfold. So a great question to ask in the middle of your wilderness is – “What is God preparing me for?” In the wilderness, the Israelites learned to humbly depend on God. It is those same lessons of trust and humility that God challenged them to apply when they reached the Promised Land. Will you humbly trust God both in times of need and times of affluence?

How often have you been crippled by the unknown? Fear has a powerful way of stopping our progress. It is a weapon not of the all-powerful King of Kings, but of the prince of earth. Will fear rule your heart? Or will the power of God make you fearless?

In this sermon Kent Priebe walks us through Psalm 3, looking at the life of David and sharing about how we can deal with fear in our lives.

The main reason behind Israel’s failure to enter the Promised Land was their lack of faith and inability to trust God completely. The next 40 years in the wilderness, God was going to teach them faith lessons so they can grow in the very area they had failed. God allowed 40 years of wandering through which the Israelites would learn that He was trustworthy! This is true of our personal wilderness experiences as well - it is often in the wilderness we come to realize God is dependable.
