Grace is not something we earn, it is something we are given. Have you made the choice to accept God's grace?

Today, we hear the story of the Parable of the River. The story parallels how many of us view our relationships with God.

Many of us are trying to earn our way to Heaven and far too many have turned their backs on God for the things of this world or are so busy judging others, they cannot see their own sins.

Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

John 8:36

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

John 16:33

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Colossians 2:6-7

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
