Biblical acceptance is the recognition of reality and the willingness to trust God with every part of our lives. Looking at the life of Job we see a man who lost everything yet did not blame God.

Without acceptance we will stay stuck and unable to grow up spiritually.

Have you ever tried to live up to the standard, or image of another person? In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus addresses the issue of The Law. This was a standard set by God to help them see their need for forgiveness and a savior. However, they missed the point and attempted to live up to a standard they were never intended to meet. Likewise many of us misunderstand and misapply the Word of God to our lives today. We misunderstand grace by trying to earn our standing with God, rather then trusting the work of Jesus on the cross to make us righteous.

In this message, Pastor Brandon explores the call Christians have in their lives to make a difference in the world through their words and actions.
