I met Catherine on TikTok and the circumstance of our meeting was, shall we say, contentious at the start. I had made a comment on another user's video which raised a lot of ire (I asked what Jesus' "radical political" views were). Catherine came to my TikTok page and started a debate over the issue, and at the end of it we both came away with an appreciation for each other's views. So I asked if she would be interested in giving her testimony, and she agreed. The conversation we had was real, and it can be raw at times but then, this is how we come to God. I hope you can appreciate the struggle of another child of God who is seeking to find her place in the body of Christ. I know I've been there, and if we're honest I bet most of us would agree. We come to God with all our baggage and he welcomes the prodigal home with a loving embrace.

In today's world, it is an unpopular thing to defend the Biblical view of marriage. Yet God's word is unchanging and in today's episode, recorded at the Pitman Grove Camp Meeting, we take a long look at some disputed and controversial scriptures as they pertain to the Christian model of love and marriage.

This is a message that was delivered at the Pitman Grove Camp Meeting, on the day after Independence Day. We in America take our freedom for granted, and it is only on special days like July 4th and Memorial Day that we remember that our freedom came at a high cost. Likewise, we as Christians are often ready to embrace our freedom in Christ, without thinking about how much that freedom cost our God. So grab your Bible, turn it to John chapter 8, and prepare your heart and mind as we look at the high cost of freedom. Freedom isn't free.

Paul's words remind us that there is none righteous, no, not one. If that's the case, then what hope can there be for the sinner? Well today we look at Paul's words to the church in Rome and find that there is, indeed, hope that can only be found in the Grace of God. So grab your Bible, turn it to Romans chapter three, and join us as we look at Grace greater than all our sin.

Well this week we have a bonus sermon, one that I gave a couple years ago when I was a layperson. From the Gospel of John, this message centers on Peter's declaration to Jesus, "You have the words of eternal life." We sometimes forget that we can only be satisfied in Christ. We try to fill our lives with things that the world tells us to value. In this message, from the Summer of 2012, we look at what the world has to offer, and how it pales in comparison to God's abundant grace. So grab your Bible, turn it to John chapter 6, and join us as we look at Christ's words of eternal life.
