Although it may be against our human nature to let go of the control we think we have and let God do His work in our lives, it is still what He calls us to do, even in the midst of trials.
When did we stop believing in a God who gives life to the dead and calls into existence things that do not exist (Romans 4:17)? This week, Pastor Dan reminds us that there truly is nothing impossible for our God, and we should live like we believe that.
Faith or works? Is it really an either or? Pastor Dan examines the perspectives of two biblical authors to see how both play a vital role in the life of a believer.
Some people like having a list of rules to follow, while others tend to enjoy carving out their own path. In today’s Scripture we see how Paul effectively demonstrates that our salvation is not a treasure to be earned by completing a list of rules, but rather a gift we choose to receive – and then we demonstrate our love and affection for Christ by following His commandments.
By no means can sin be justified. Sin is sin, and we can only truly be made righteous through the gift of love and salvation that comes through Jesus Christ.
We often times get caught up in the human desires of judgement and comparison. Today, we realign ourselves and remember that God is the only true judge of character, and we can only be sanctified through Him.
Paul was not ashamed to proclaim the Gospel, and we shouldn’t be either. Our actions, words, and thoughts should be focused fully on Christ for us to best display His love towards others.
Willingly allowing someone to have complete reign over our lives can be a scary thought, but when that person is Jesus, we become fully enveloped in love, mercy, and grace.
True peace is what all hearts long for. A peace that surpasses understanding, blocks out the business of the modern world, and bypasses all other things that distract us from what really matters. This is a peace that can only be found by trusting in Jesus.
