God didn’t set us free to live in bondage to rules. Dr. Tony Evans explains why many believers fall into legalism—and how to walk in true spiritual freedom.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God has a plan for our lives. His delay is what separates us from the advice of the world, and even from those who are closest around us. The longer we have to wait for the Lord to act, the more clearly we see, and the more simple things become.

When will you take God’s warnings seriously? All throughout Scripture, the Lord warns that He will not allow those with sinful hearts to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. That means that, if you were to face His judgment on your own merit, you would not be allowed access into His heavenly kingdom.  But Pastor Jeff wants you to remember today that there is a way for you to be adopted into God’s family. Jesus’ gift of grace covers over all of your sins and marks you as one of God’s own beloved children. 

God has worked many miracles throughout Alex’s life—surviving the Rwandan genocide, receiving an Operation Christmas Child shoebox that planted seeds for the Gospel, and most recently, living on the other side of a brain tumor. Alex talks about how serving the Lord doesn't mean that challenging and even painful things will not happen in our lives. But we can take heart because God, our refuge and strength, has overcome the world.
