The Gospel tells us that we're saved by grace through faith in Jesus alone. Many people wonder then, "What are all the rules in the Bible for?" There are many answers to that question, but here's one powerful way the rules still play into our lives in Christ.

The grace of God extended to humanity at the cross of Jesus is the most powerful expression of love the world will ever know. There and there only do we find forgiveness and a new beginning. The most important question to ask yourself is, "Were you there?"

When you practice Christianity, but you don't practice it under grace - the great equalizer - you might start to feel like you're climbing a hierarchy. The hierarchies we build in our minds have to come down if we're going to understand the true gospel and Jesus's mind-blowing love for us.

How do we dwell in the transformative grace of God? The simplest method is to go back to what the beginning of our faith was for so many of us: the gospel. As we enter a new series on Galatians, we delve deeper into the foundational truths of the greatest gift ever given.

Something perfect doesn't need to be purified, but with faith it's both. While we walk this earth we deal with our brokenness, our failures, and all the things that weigh us down. When we turn to God, those things are finished at the cross and we are released.

How do we literally and figuratively prepare our homes for guests? Are we ready to serve the people we meet with generosity and compassion? Guest Speaker John Bidauretta preaches about taking ownership of the spiritual condition of our our homes and beyond.

How do we stand in the gap for those who need Jesus most when the world seems to be pulling us in a hundred different directions? Guest speaker Shea Morgan preaches on how to handle the interruptions God places in our lives.

Listen to guest speaker Philip Pattison of Foster the Bay speak about the incredible joy and exceptional sacrifice of supporting kids in foster care. God's word specifically says to stand with the weak and fatherless (Psalm 82:3). When we acknowledge that every person has intrinsic value and begin to stand with those who are suffering we will start to see a transformed city.

There is an allure to placing our hope in the things that we can see in this life. Often times, the enemy attacks the things that we value the most in order to attack our faith. How do we protect ourselves and keep our souls for the things that will last forever?

Learn how Jesus fought, and won, the ultimate battle against death to free us from our sin. The only offering ever needed, and that will ever work for sin, has been given by Jesus at the cross.
