Family Church - Chattanooga

The Kingdom of God, thankfully, isn't built on this idea of karma, as in the good get good and the bad get bad. God's covenant with us is one of grace, where the only One Who is good, takes all our bad upon Himself, and we receive what Jesus deserves as a free gift, not a wage. 

 Life is complicated, full of joy but also sorrow. Through it all, the ups and the downs, Jesus is with us, always. 

There are always going to be things that we want to change about us and the world around us. For the things that we're unable to change, there is grace that meets us there. We may not find freedom FROM these things, but Jesus frees us IN them.

 Jesus doesn't ask us to climb or perform our way to a closer relationship with Him, He meets us exactly where we are

 The law of God was never meant to empower us, it was given to accuse and expose us in order to show us our desperate need for a Savior. 

 True freedom isn't in getting the things that we think that we need, it's found in no longer needing those things

 Deep down we all crave home, the Kingdom of God, righteousness, peace and joy

 Jesus isn't repelled by our humanity, brokenness or our problems, He runs to meet us there with His grace

 A cold and broken hallelujah 

 Jesus meets us in our loneliness, when we feel overlooked and forgotten, with His amazing grace. He sees you, knows you fully and loves you completely.
