Pastor shared a deeply instructive word during our Countdown to Encounter. We were reminded that salvation is priceless—while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. There’s no work we could have done to meet God’s righteous standard; our salvation is the free gift of His grace.

For the believer, Jesus is enthroned in our hearts, changing how we see and live. Because we’ve been forgiven much, we can forgive much. Having been saved from sin, we now live empowered above it. Our lives must reflect gratitude, dependence, and surrender—always saying, “I am what I am by God,” and “If the Lord wills.”

Some things can only be received through prolonged prayer—so we stay with God until His will is formed in us.

Listen to this stirring sermon and be blessed as you do so.
