We have no power to stand before his majesty,

yet His grace shatters the distance

to hold us in a love that never ends.

Sorry - The first few minutes of the message was not recorded.

Finishing the race of faith means looking to Jesus,

leaning into hardship, and choosing holiness.

We trust a faithful God who sometimes rescues us from the fire and sometimes rides through the fire with us.

We can step out boldly, lean heavily, and hold loosely because our lives are built on the foundation of unshakable faithfulness.

The journey of following Jesus is never a solo journey.

Jesus really, really, really loves US.

The single thing that threatens everything in our walk with Jesus is the failure to understand, embrace, and enjoy the full and final forgiveness of our sins.

Jesus is the one who wrote the will,

the one who died to make it valid,

and the one who is coming back to make sure you receive every bit of it.

God has architected every detail of the Old Covenant and has done the same with you as a living witness to the New Covenant.

In religion you get what you earn.

In the new covenant, you get what Jesus earned!

There is no system that can make you right with God - only a person.
