God’s grace is the foundation of our freedom, a sure gift made available to us again every morning. Every mistake we make is covered. Every sin is forgiven. And my hope is that as we center our hearts and minds around God’s grace, that his forgiveness and mercy open a pathway to true freedom for us today.

Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Corinthians 15:56–57, and today's worship is Sails by Pat Barrett feat. Steffany Gretzinger & Amanda Lindsey Cook.

Grace is a gift most of us don’t know how to receive. We’ve been so inundated with the earthly systems of give-and-get and work-and-earn that grace is a concept few ever fully grasp. Yet it’s grace alone that has the power to transform lives. Grace alone has the power to bring freedom to the captives. By grace alone we are saved. Today we’re launching a new series, taking time every day to discover and receive the grace of our good and loving Father.

Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Corinthians 12:9, and today's worship is By the Grace of God by Bethel Music feat. Brian Johnson.

Have you ever felt like you were drowning? Not in the physical sense, but spiritually or emotionally–simply spent and burnt out on religion. 

Today’s guest, Aaron Niequist felt just that while serving as a worship pastor at a prominent megachurch in Chicago, IL. When the limits of his own faith experience left him feeling spiritually empty, Niequist determined God must have a wider vision for worship and community.

In his search, Aaron discovered that there was historical Christian precedent for enacting faith in a different way, an ancient and now future way of believing. He calls this third way "practice-based faith."

In this newest episode we cover specific topics like...

• How a practice-based faith can save you from drowning
• Losing your religion and finding the Kingdom of God
• How Sunday services are not the main event of our faith walk
• Practical ways to practice your faith in your time with God

Aaron Niequist is a liturgist, writer, and pastor currently living in NYC. In 2018, he released The Eternal Current: How a Practice-Based Faith Can Save Us from Drowning, and he’s continuing to create resources to help us all flesh it out. But that’s just job stuff. The best part of his life is his wife Shauna, and his boys, Henry and Mac.

As we near the end of our weeklong focus on being children of the most high God, we’re going to take time today to create space to discover and receive the blessings of our Father.

Our God is good, and loves to bless us in countless, wonderful ways.

May we taste and see God’s goodness today as we open our hands and hearts to receive the gifts of his love.

Our Scripture for today comes from James 1:17, and today's worship is Hymn of Heaven by Phil Wickham.

Today we continue our weeklong focus on being a child of God, by looking at how God guides us throughout our life.

All of us long for, a need a guide through this life. In this journey, there are so many twists and turns, so many unknowns, so many roads we can take, we need a good, omniscient, and omnipotent guide to help us know which way to go.

May you sense the leadership of your loving Father today as we create space to receive his guidance.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 32:8–9, and today's worship is Give Me Your Peace by Gateway Worship.
